Bridezilla
She is not really a plus size, but she has been shopping and all the sample dresses in the places she went were to small for her to try on. She is size 11/12, or a 14 depending on cut. She wants to find a place that there are actual dresses that she can try on in her size so she wants to find a place that can do that.
Answer
Unfortunately the sample sizes that normal bridal shops carry are very small. Most people usually don't get to try their wedding gown on in their size.
You can try going to David's Bridal if there is one in that area. I'm not a huge fan of David's Bridal, but the one thing that is good about their stores is the fact that they carry the same dress in all different sizes. It makes it a lot easier to try on - but most bridal shops have one sample only. If she likes David's Bridal gowns then this would be the perfect place. If not then she might have to do some more research.
I would have her look online at different designers and see if she likes any of the dresses on their website. If she sees one that she likes online she can locate a store that carries them in the area. She can then call the bridal shop and ask them if they a) if they have that sample in the store and b) what size the sample is. She can also ask them if they can order a sample in her size. Some bridal shops can do that, but you would most likely be charged for it. Usually they will charge you $50, but if you decide to purchase the dress then they will apply the $50 to your purchase.
If she wants to try on samples in her size then it's going to take a lot of research. It's frustrating not to be able to find a sample in your size since you want to know exactly how it is going to look on your wedding day, but hopefully she will be able to find something.

I don't know of any in this area that rent anymore-there are several that sell used (consignment) dresses. I had mine made for about 300 dollars. Also check thrift stores-Ive seen some beautiful ones-designer.
While I was in the thrift store a few months ago a girl found a 3,000 dress for 150 bucks.
