From the reviews
I loved everything about Kathryn’s from the moment I stepped through the doors. The ambience is sophisticated & yet down-to-earth and welcoming. Every single dress is a stunner!
I had the best wedding dress shopping experience at Kathryn’s Bridal! There were SO many options and styles of dresses. The associate I worked with (Lanna) was so amazing and patient with my mom and I during our first visit. Lanna actually picked out the dress I ended up buying!
From the very moment I walked into Kathryn’s myself and my entire party felt very comfortable. The team and my stylist made the experience incredible. They were very accommodating to my grandmas who both have mobility restrictions and made the yes moment perfect!
I couldn't recommend Kathryn's enough! Lanna was absolutely amazing! I came in three different times because I was very indecisive. Each time Lanna was perfectly understanding and really helped me find the perfect dress that felt just like me! They have an amazing selection and were constantly getting in new gowns.
Plus size bridal & formal at Kathryn's Bridal & Dress Shop
Kathryn's Bridal & Dress Shop 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. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
