Where is this wedding dress shop?

Please help me find this retro wedding dress boutique in NYC that caters to plus-sized women. I may have totally made up this place in my head.
So back when I got engaged, I poked around online looking at places to buy wedding dresses in NYC. All the usual suspects came up, but I remember coming across a boutique-type shop that catered to plus-size brides. (They may also do "regular" sizes.) Their dresses were not traditional and floofy. From what I remember, they were sort of retro. I think they may have been on the upper east side. I'm pretty sure that their website had a pink background.
Stupidly, I didn't bookmark their website.
I've done all the google searches I can think of, and all I'm coming up with are all the usual wedding dress places and ads. This place was definitely a small, independent shop. Anyone know the place I'm thinking of? Or was it in my dreams?

Best answer: Yeah, probably Dolly Couture.
If you like that style I'd also like to put in a good word for Fancy Bridal, where I got mine. If you can get to their shop in person they make your dress to measure, so no figuring out sizes and I didn't need any alterations after my dress was delivered. I also found their styling a little more flattering on my curvyness than DC -- DC does this gathered skirt thing that looked awful on me.
