I feel your pain. Last year when I needed a dress for my DD's wedding. I went online. I too am plus size and live in an area with not alot of places to shop. Nordstroms worked for me. Found 5 dresses that looked promising. Bought all 5. One worked and I sent the other 4 back. My DH had a problem with me doing this. Said it wasn't right for the company. But hey I found a fabulous dress that looked great on the Big day. Good Luck
