If you’re a plus-size bride planning your Central Florida wedding, you deserve to walk into a bridal boutique and see yourself represented—beautifully, confidently, and without compromise. At The Dressing Room in Celebration, just minutes from Walt Disney World, we’ve built our reputation on providing an exceptional plus-size wedding dress shopping experience that brides travel from across the region to enjoy.
Why Plus-Size Brides Are Choosing The Dressing Room Celebration
The truth about wedding dress shopping as a plus-size bride is that it shouldn’t be harder than it is for any other bride—but too often, it is. Limited size ranges, few options, and uncomfortable fitting room experiences have left countless brides feeling frustrated and unseen. We created The Dressing Room to change that narrative entirely.
Our Celebration location carries wedding dresses in sizes up to 28, featuring designs from top designers who understand that beautiful, well-constructed gowns should be available to every bride, regardless of size. When you visit us, you won’t be shown a small corner of “plus-size options”—you’ll have access to our full collection of stunning designer gowns.
The Designers Who Design for Your Body
We’ve carefully selected our designer partners because they create wedding dresses with plus-size brides specifically in mind:
Maggie Sottero has become a favorite among our plus-size brides for good reason. Their gowns feature strategic boning and construction that provides beautiful support and structure. From romantic lace A-lines to glamorous fitted silhouettes, their designs celebrate curves while providing the comfort you need to wear your dress all day (and night) long.
Stella York brings modern sophistication to plus-size bridal fashion. Their gowns are engineered with supportive features built seamlessly into gorgeous designs, so you never have to choose between style and comfort. Whether you’re drawn to classic elegance or contemporary drama, Stella York delivers both beautifully.
Essense of Australia creates bold, fashion-forward wedding dresses that make a statement. Their plus-size collection doesn’t shy away from trendy details like plunging necklines, illusion panels, or dramatic backs—because every bride deserves to wear exactly the style she loves.
Justin Alexander Signature, Madi Lane round out our collection with diverse options spanning romantic and bohemian to glamorous and classic. The common thread? Every dress is designed to fit, flatter, and make you feel absolutely incredible.
Built-In Support: Why You Won’t Need a Bra
One of the most common questions we hear from plus-size brides is about undergarments. Here’s the beautiful truth about our gowns: they provide built-in support, which means you’ll try on wedding dresses without wearing a bra. The construction of quality wedding dresses includes strategic boning, corset backs or built-in bustiers, and supportive design elements that hold everything in place comfortably and securely.
During your appointment, our stylists will show you how each dress is engineered to support you. Some plus-size brides do choose to add shapewear underneath their gowns for their own comfort and confidence, though it’s actually quite uncommon. The decision is entirely yours, and we’re here to help you feel your absolute best in whatever way that means for you.
The VIP Appointment Experience: Privacy, Time, and Celebration
Shopping for a wedding dress should be a celebration, not a source of stress. That’s why we offer VIP appointments where you have the entire Celebration boutique to yourself. No other brides, no crowd of strangers watching you try on dresses, no feeling rushed because the next appointment is waiting.
Your VIP appointment means you can take your time, bring your favorite people, laugh, cry happy tears, and truly enjoy this milestone moment. Our stylists are here to guide you, offer expert advice, and celebrate with you when you find “the one”—but we never rush or pressure you. This is your experience, your timeline, and your special day to prepare for.

Real Conversations About Body Image and Wedding Dress Shopping
We know that for many plus-size brides, walking into a bridal boutique can feel vulnerable. Society sends complicated messages about bodies, beauty, and worthiness—and the wedding industry hasn’t always been welcoming to brides above a certain size. We want you to know that at The Dressing Room, you are celebrated exactly as you are.
Your body is worthy of a gorgeous wedding dress. Your curves deserve to be celebrated. Your wedding day should be about the love you’re committing to, not anxiety about how you look. When you visit us, you’ll work with stylists who understand these truths deeply and who are genuinely excited to help you find a dress that makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself.
Planning Your Visit: What to Bring and What to Expect
When you book your VIP appointment at The Dressing Room Celebration, here’s what will make your experience most enjoyable:
Bring the people whose opinions truly matter to you—usually that’s 2-4 close family members or friends. Too many voices can make decision-making harder, but having your trusted circle there to share the experience is part of what makes it so special.
Wear comfortable undergarments that are seamless and neutral-colored. Since you’ll be trying on dresses without a bra, a comfortable pair of underwear is all you really need. We recommend shoes with a similar heel height to what you plan to wear on your wedding day, though we can also help you figure out alterations if you’re unsure.
Come with an open mind. Many brides are surprised by what looks amazing on them versus what they thought they wanted. Our stylists are experts at reading your reactions and steering you toward dresses that make your eyes light up.
From “Yes” to “I Do”: The Journey After You Find Your Dress
Once you’ve said yes to your dream dress, we require payment in full before ordering. This secures your gown and begins the process of bringing it from the designer to you. For select situations—particularly for off-the-rack dresses or brides with very long timelines—we do offer extremely limited payment plans, though fewer than 10 dresses across all our locations are ever on payment plans.
Your wedding dress is an investment in one of the most important days of your life. It’s the outfit you’ll wear when you marry your person, the dress captured in every photo, the gown you’ll remember forever. At The Dressing Room Celebration, we’re honored to help you find it.
