Hello I got my dresses in Simones in Sligo and they had a fab selection! My bridesmaids tried on loads of different styles of chiffon - that was my preference also- and the girls were very helpful.
I was in Wedding World in Galway and the selection was only ok but the girls were zero help and just stood about chatting while we fended for ourselves. But that was just my experience!
HTH!

Should also add that they had loads of sample dresses in various sizes, a few up to size 18. So all 3 of bridesmaids could try on the same dress, just in different colours!

If you try Diamond Bridal in cork city, they stock the dessy range and should have a full delivery in the next two weeks. I will be going in there myself once they get them in as I know they stock all sizes.
Keep me plated on how u get on. I won't be looking myself until September as one of my bridesmaids is pregnant and not due until July so would be interested to find out how ye are getting on with it.
BEST OF LUCK!!! X

As Always the wollies are STARS!!!
JenniePennie I hear you, been searching since september as well.... its hard enough to get all three BMs together for a weekend
CREAMYBEAMY Thanks for the advice might check out wedding world
Creampuffnut Might check out Simones as one of my BMs is living in Galway
ExcitedB2B2013 Had booked ivory rose for an appointment but had to cancel due to a family commitment, might try them again..
little missi Ive been to Diamond Bridal alright but she didnt have any stock left yet.....she emailed me and said it would be in in a few weeks.
Just getting a little bit impatient as Ive three BMs one works shift work meaning I get one weekend a month free to grab her, other lives in Athlone and other is free enough but ive tried four times now and Ive booked certain shops specifically for BM shopping and when u arrive in the shop to 5 dresses its so disheartening for them as well
Thanks so much for all yere help

Hi girls, im the same, hate getting there to a handful of dresses and picking from a catalogue doesnt work for those of us that arent size 8/10... the girls want to try them on and I totally understabd. I was in Diamond Bridal in Nov, had very little but def let me know when she emails to say stock is in. I rang Ivory Rose today, waiting for her to ph back and a place called Princess Rooms in Cobh, she says she has a lot of samples in store to try on and plenty of bigger sizes, going monday or tuesday eve so I hope she has plenty as she said. It is very hard to get bridesmaids together, I have one running her own business, one with 5 week old baby, one in dublin and one in uk....I feel its the hardest job and just want it done. My only worry about these places is the expense, I had been hoping to get dresses for about €150 each but after trying Debenams and Monsoon again today there is just nothing!!! I even tried donedeal, some lovely ones if everybody was 8/10. Anyway lets keep eachother posted!!!
