Modest Clothing in Women's Plus Sizes

Lynette Robinson is an expert in wedding and formal gowns. She designs several of her own collections, including Callista and Crystal Couture, which are distributed through several bridal retailers in the United States. Lynette and her husband David operate a retail gallery in Riverdale, Utah, where brides from around the nation come to find an extensive collection of gowns or to collaborate with Lynette in creating their own custom design. Lynette's alterations team is skilled at adding sleeves to strapless styles, including the popular Maggie Sottero Collection. Only a few styles are shown on Lynette's various websites, so contact the store for a personal consultation.

The Bliss Modest Collection from Bonny Bridal features sleeves and higher necklines along with similar skirt and bodice detailing used in its other collections. All-white dresses and white dresses with colored accents are available. House of Brides carries most of the Bliss Modest Collection and is one of the largest online wedding stores.

The Sophia Tolli Collection is noted for its couture styling and occasionally contains one or more dresses with sleeves, higher necklines or wide straps, though the overall collection is centered more around the traditional strapless styling.

Modest Prom Rentals serves customers primarily from its store location in Mapleton, Utah. However, photos of the available dresses are displayed online to make selection easy, and the store told us that they can ship some dresses for rent to other states in the United States. The larger dresses may be cost prohibitive to ship, but the more moderate dresses are feasible for shipping to out-of-state renters.

Formerly known as The Modest Mom, this company specializes in maternity and nursing clothing but has also branched out with a few non-maternity women's and girls' items. A generously-sized nursing cover in a variety of pretty printed fabrics completes the collection.
