The try-on access cliff.
A size chart can promise a dress. This index asks a harder question: is a sample in that size published as physically present on a boutique rack?
Headline finding
Published access reaches size 34 at 60% of these locations. Size 40 appears at 4%.

This is a transparent snapshot of Persnickety's current source-checked dataset—not a census of every US bridal store and not a real-time inventory guarantee.

The upper-size narrowing
A boutique saying “plus-size” is not a usable trip plan.
These counts show how many indexed locations publish a maximum sample size at or above each threshold. The exact range, source, and review date remain visible on every profile.

What this means
Useful evidence, without pretending it is more complete than it is.
This release measures the directory's current records. It does not infer unpublished stock, equate orderable sizes with samples, or rank paid profiles above free factual listings.
Boutiques can correct a range for free. Brides should still confirm the specific size and appointment needs before traveling.
