    I was made to feel so welcome at Brides with Curves and the appointment times fitted in well with having a small baby. I felt confident and comfortable in my dress and went for something I never thought I would. Everyone commented on how beautiful my dress was and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my special day.

    Unlike most brides, it's no secret that I wasn't looking forward to the dress shopping. I never wear dresses or skirts, I'm a trackies and jeans kinda girl. BwC was suggested to me by a friend whose daughter had recently been there. The whole process was so easy. Once we started the trying on process it was just really easy. Kelly was great and full of suggestions and ideas and always on the end of the phone if I had any questions. Stella, who did all the alterations was also great and very helpful. I would definately recommend them to friends.

    Last saturday I visited brides with curves feeling sick,shaking, snappy at my friends & imagining nothing was going to fit ' Im never going to find a dress' Having put i on quite alot of weight but always being a larger girl. Kelly greeted us and I honestly couldn't remember the convo I was a wreck but off I went into the changing room put on a hoop and 1st dress was on , wow I was blown away..1 that it fit & 2 how comfortable one person can makes you in 5 mins. Talked to me during every dress change getting an understanding of want I liked and wanted but not pushing me,kelly knew straight away how to dress my figure &  showing me all the different styles even 1s I liked but didn't suit my figure, I tried on about 9 dresses all fitting some even to big (yes I cheered)🤣🙊 I never thought I would say this but after 1 visit but I said yes to a dress❤ I even asked for a job. The way Kelly made me feel & how amazing my experience was I'm sure there are so many women feeling the same. But please don't we are all beautiful in our own way. I even got a lush thoughtful goodie bag , I cant wait to go back for fittings and for my dream dress. thank you

    As a curvy bride, this is the ONLY bridal shop you ever need to visit. Kelly is wonderful, you will have a positive, and truly lovely experience and get to try on dresses that actually fit and are stunning. I was like a rabbit caught in headlights when I first walked in but Kelly just put ne at ease and helped me find my stunning dress.

    Kelly was absolutely amazing. I only went to her shop as I found my dress on my first visit. We tried on many dresses and just kept coming back to this one. Everytime I saw kelly she was lovely and she was always interested in what was going on with the wedding plans and more like a friend than a lady selling me a dress. Being a larger bride I thought nothing would fit however I had more choices than I could ever imagine. I went in wanting plain and fell in love with bling. Thanks kelly xx
