Where to go for plus size wedding dresses?

I am a size 16/18 and am looking for wedding dresses....but don't know exactly where to go...Are there any curvy girls out there with some great (or not so great) stories about wedding dress shopping?
I am in Langley but anywhere in Vancouver is good too

Talking Plus size gowns

I found my dress on Hastings Street at Traditions. That store closed but you can go to New West to the Bridal Gallery which was the sister-store to Traditions. A plus sized gown can be ordered. My gown was an 18.
You can also try the plus size store that is on East Hastings street in Vancouver; (close to Boundary/Hastings) they carry gowns 14 and up to larger 20's.
Don't worry about the number on the tag, go by how do you feel when you try the dress on; how does it feel against your skin. Remember, if you don't feel comfortable in your dress; it can ruin your whole day as you will not relay that in your photos!
Best of luck!
PS Try also looking on Craig's list sometimes you can come across some great gowns and have them altered.

Plus Sizes

I am a size 18 and I found my dream gown at Champagne and Lace in Abbotsford. The staff there are awesome and so helpful. Well I hope you find what you are looking for.
