From the reviews

I've only been to and seen 1 so far but I like it for the most part. I'm disabled and the Bush River location is outside the mall and accessible for me especially when I use my rotator.

★★★★★ — Tara, Jul 2019

One of my favorite plus size stores to shop at! The employees are always nice and friendly. They're also willing to help you whenever you need it. Very neat and clean store.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Feb 2022

I love this store! EVERYONE is ALWAYS friendly and ready to help! Best part is they are always honest with how something looks on a customer. I like the fact that they're not just trying to sell me stuff, they actually take the time to help you find the perfect outfit. Thanks for being honest!!

Plus size bridal & formal at Ashley Stewart

Ashley Stewart comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
