From the reviews

You can find a lot of unique outfits and prices are great. The 171 store by Walmart is the best at setting up the store and mannequins and very friendly staff. Heading there today for my mom. Clothing starts at Jr's and goes up to the bigger sizes as well. One stop shop for accessories too..

Good sale. Quality merchandise at good prices. My other purchases I'm wearing today. Even though I wear smalls they're got some gorgeous plus sizes on sale.

Plus size bridal & formal at Cato Fashions

Cato Fashions 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.
