What's on the racks
“Crazy as it may sound, the wedding dress was the last thing I got for my wedding and I was very last minute with it, mostly because I was nervous to try dresses on.”
“This was my first bridal shop I chose to find my dream wedding dress for my wedding in Italy on the Almafi Coast in October 2026.”
What shoppers say again and again
“My stylist was Barbara and she was absolutely the sweetest and made me feel confident in everything I tried on.”
“Thanks to the excellent work of my stylist Barbara -- who had the sweetest demeanor and a sharp eye for what would look good on me -- I found my gown pretty much immediately.”
“I was very surprised at the ease of experience and so happy I found my dress.”
“Not only did I purchase my dress here but my veil, as well as all my custom alterations are being done on sight.”
From the reviews
I bought my wedding dress at the Curvy Bride, and I could not be happier with their services! As a plus size woman, shopping is not always the most exciting experience for me. However, the Curvy Bride provided a comfortable environment for me to try on wedding dresses.
Had such an amazing experience at The Curvy Bride! As soon as you walk in you just feel so welcomed. The staff is amazing and offer beverages to you and your guests while you try on gowns. They have many gown options for each and every bride to make them feel beautiful on their wedding day.
I booked an appointment with the curvy brides. Me and my fiancé wanted to see the options they had there. Michelle greeted us with open arms. We tried on so many dresses. And we had some choices but it took a a while. We found the right dress. I had a talk with my fiancé and I told him we couldnt pass up the dress.
I had such an amazing experience here! As a curvy girl, shopping has always been something I dreaded, but this place made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in. They had such a great variety of sizes, and my girl Barb ❤️ made the whole experience even better.
Plus size bridal & formal at The Curvy Bride
The Curvy Bride comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
