Where can my plus sized mom find a dress for $600 or less??

I just went shopping for the 4th time with my mom to look for MOB dresses. She is getting really frustrated because the only stores that seem to carry plus sized dresses have dresses that cost $900 and up. That is really out of control for a dress - my dress only cost $700.00

We have already tried Estelles, Dina's, Totally You, and Moonlight Couture in Merrick .. any suggestions?

Please help my mom, she is getting so upset by this whole situation and I dont want to see her sad.

How about David's Bridal? They have dresses up to size 24.

and Sugarplums.

My mom saw some nice dresses in Marshalls for under a 100. She actually bought one but it is ivory!! I really don't want her to wear ivory. I feel bad because she too is having a hard time finding a dress she likes but ivory is the same color as my flower girls etc.

Both my mom and dhs mom are plus size and they both got their dresses from sugarplum, they were beautiful and my mom paid $350 for her dress, so it was a steal. just make sure to have your mom let them know what her budget is, they will work with her.
I have pictures of them in my community album
