What's on the racks
“It was a very intimate dress shopping, just me and my mother, Marlow was super kind and patient as I translated all the information they gave me to my mother.”
“I had my first wedding dress appointment at David’s Bridal a couple of weeks before and I did not like my experience there at all.”
“It was my first time having the designer prom dress experience and I am so happy I decided to go there.”
“You also get a discount towards your accessories when you book the bridal room that I got!”
“We couldn’t have done it without her and helping my indecisive personality pick between two perfect dresses was truly the cherry on top.”
What shoppers say again and again
“Judy was my amazing stylist she understood exactly what I was looking for and I was so happy I was able to say “yes” to my dress!”
“I highly recommend this store as all of their dresses are high quality and they give the best service and gave me the most amazing experience for my senior prom!”
“My tailor (yes you get a tailor AKA the person who helps you find dresses and helps with trying them on) Nikki found me my dream dress on the first try!”
From the reviews
This is THE place to go for any formal dress shopping on your list! We drove 3 hours (one way) just to shop at Trudys and it was absolutely worth the drive! I needed a mother of the bride dress in a plus size and was exhausted of online ordering.
I must've tried on around 20 dresses, some at other stores, but I kept going back to Trudy's and Abby was there for us every step of the way! We liked her immediately and she understood what I was looking for. The very first dress I tried on was from the Disney line, just for fun.
I got the private bridal room I 100% recommend! I absolutely loved my personal stylist Judy! She went above and beyond for me! They gave me the best wedding experience! Thank you all very much! You also get a discount towards your accessories when you book the bridal room that I got!
Nikki at Trudy’s Brides was wonderful to work with! She made finding my wedding dress such a pleasant and stress-free experience. She was attentive, helpful, and truly listened to what I was looking for. I’m so grateful for her assistance and highly recommend her.
Plus size bridal & formal at Trudys Brides & Special Occasions
Trudys Brides & Special Occasions 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.
