From the reviews

Had the best experience there today, sales associate was super helpful and friendly (wish I had gotten her name), pulled a dress off the manequin and it was a perfect fit and so affordable! Definitely left happy and I’ll for sure be a regular customer from here on out!

Dress up -- my favorite boutique, hands down. They have amazing clothes that are on trend and always fit well and are of good quality. We're talking go-to t shirts all the way to a dress to wear to wedding-- so many different options.

Plus size bridal & formal at Dress Up Athens

Dress Up Athens 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.
