    Hi Ladies,

    I am looking for a short plus sized wedding gown for my justice of the peace wedding on April 29. It doesn't have to be a true wedding gown but it does need to be fancy (no sun dresses or party/club dresses). I've tried Torrid, Igigi, Macy's, & Nordstroms and have come up empty handed. ANy suggestions would be great!

    I don't have a huge budget and would like to stay under $200.

    Thanks!

    My mom shops at Lane Bryant and Avenue all the time. I'm not sure if they carry white dresses (I doubt it), but it's worth looking. I believe they have websites. F21 has a plus size line. I went there yesterday and they have a lot of pretty dresses.

    David's Bridal website has an outlet section.  I just checked and they have about a half dozen or so shorter dresses in plus sizes for $99-$150 range.  I got my dress this way and got a high quality dress for about 70% off.

    Here's some pics of what's available to see if it will work for you.  There's 3-4 more not pictured here.

    Does it have to be short?  There are a few gorgeous long ones at Davids for under 200.Where to buy a short wedding dress! :  wedding Dress

    eShakti.com has several short white dresses, most under $100 and they will custom the size , hem, sleeve and neckline. http://www.eshakti.com/clothpdpage.asp?catalog=Clothes&cate=solid+dresses&productid=CL0021629

    You could look on ebay too.  This one is only a 14 but you get the idea

    I can see this short one being worn at a JOP wedding, but they have a couple long dresses that are very beautiful as well.
