Louisville's plus scene mixes Southern boutique culture (monogram-friendly, styling-forward) with solid chain coverage east and south of downtown. Derby season is the local phenomenon: hats, dresses, and occasion wear in extended sizes get picked over by March — shop for the first Saturday in May like the locals do, months early.

Rebecca’s brought my bridal dreams to LIFE!! I found my absolute perfect dress and celebrated the best day of my life feeling the most beautiful and happy I have ever felt. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better end result! Rebecca’s is #1 in professionalism, kindness, and knowledge.
Stopped in for a quick visit found some Black Heels just what I needed and about 5 dresses this was a I waited to the last minute so Thankfully that had exactly what I needed 4 stars just because I waited in line longer than finding and trying on what I got but other then that nice place to shop..
After stopping into some other retailers, my mood was a bit down as I walked into DXL in St. Matthews, KY. But my spirits were immediately lifted when I walked through the door and was greeted by Lauren!
