From the reviews
My experience at the dress matters was wonderful from the moment I stepped in the small boutique! The girls were extremely kind and helpful. My wedding was October 8 and my dress is breathtaking! Thank u❤️
This shop is amazing! The owner is super nice and her staff is even more helpful! Monica took extra time to help me get into each and every dress I wanted to try.
Karen was AMAZING! She made my experience so simple and easy. She picked dresses for me to try on based on my thoughts of what I thought I would like and I was able to try multiple that fit my style. I walked around in the dress that I chose to make sure I was comfortable.
I LOVE The Dress Matters! Debbie and her staff are all professional, welcoming and accommodating. There is a wide selection of dresses for different styles and body types. They offer in-house alternations which is great because the seamstresses really know the dresses well.
Plus size bridal & formal at The Dress Matters
The Dress Matters 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.
