Where can I find plus size bridesmaid dresses in the UK?

Start by searching online for plus size bridal boutiques, as many now specialise in sizes 18 to 30. High street department stores and independent bridal shops often carry extended ranges, but call ahead to confirm what they have in stock. Some online retailers offer a 'curve' or 'plus' collection, so filter by size rather than style.

If you cannot find the right dress off the rack, consider made to measure or custom order options. Many dressmakers and online services will make a dress to your exact measurements, which can be more comfortable and flattering. Ask the bridal shop about their sample sizes too, because you may need to try on a larger size and have it altered down.

Remember that sizing varies between brands, so do not fixate on the number on the label. Focus on how the dress fits and feels. If you are shopping with your bridal party, encourage everyone to share their measurements and preferences, and book fittings well in advance.
