Styling Plus Size Brides

Styling Plus Size Brides

Hi Brides to be ,It has been just over 2 years since I opened Accapella Bridal. I loved styling brides that come into my boutique, but I really want get into styling a plus size bride.
This bride came in early this year flustered that she had not found a dress for her August wedding. I asked her what style she had in mind? She explained to me I want a ball gown. I pulled out 8718 but it wasn't her size l said to her hold it against your body and I am going to explain what this dress would look like in your size. My dressmaking skills and explaining what it would look like made her mum and bridesmaid cry.
Rachel ordered the dress that day. Rachel being a size 24 but,  had lost a little more weight when her dress arrived, not even trying she said " just organising a wedding " . I have photos of her final fitting. I said to Rachel "how complimenting is this dress" .  It's about " styling a plus size bride not about sizing". She sent me a photo with a lovely message .

Hi Connie, sorry I didn't get a photo to you yesterday, but thank you SOOO much for the most amazing gown , it was everything I wanted and more!!

How happy I was to know she loved her wedding dress when she thought she would never find a dress. I am so grateful she trusted me in styling a wedding dress that was nothing but perfect for her.
