As a curvy woman myself, I know and understand the unique challenges when shopping for a wedding dress. This topic is so near and dear to my heart that todayâs show is the first in a multi-part series covering the issues that curvy brides face. Join me as we lay the foundation in understanding the wedding landscape for a curvy woman.
Show Highlights:
Why helping curvy brides has been some of my most satisfying work Our focus today is on designer wedding dresses for curvy women--not those found at lower price points What curvy women need to know: Bridal sizing runs up to two sizes small (be prepared to be shocked!) Most boutiques carry only one of each dress sample, usually in size 8 (which is really a size 4!) Trunk show dresses are even smaller than normal because they were made for a model to wear (curvy women should avoid trunk shows altogether!) Youâll be asked to âenvisionâ what the dress in your size will look like on you (this is difficult to do when you may not be able to zip up the dress!)Resources:

We all know itâs a crazy time to be planning that most extraordinary event in your life. You have to be prepared for every possible twist and turn in your wedding journey, and one thing that is a huge part of your special day is your wedding dress. Join me for this solo episode as we discuss how to tackle finding a dress you love in an uncertain world.
Show Highlights:
Five tips to navigate the important step of choosing a dress you love:
Keep it simple--Versatility is important, and accessories can help achieve the look you want. Simple and chic work in every setting and a simple dress is easier for a designer to produce. Choose a dress that looks good on you today--Donât add stress to your life by having to work like crazy to âmake it fit.â Start shopping early--Dresses take longer to make right now, especially with imported components. More options are available to you if you plan ahead. Consider a rehearsal dinner look that could do double duty--Many brides are choosing that rehearsal dinner outfit that can also be worn in an intimate wedding. Itâs hard to wear your wedding dress twice--If you plan a small wedding now and a bigger one post-pandemic, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a dress off the rack for the intimate ceremony.Resources:
