Being a plus-sized bride is difficult. If you are plus, you know that you can only really find dresses (and clothing for that matter) that is sweat-shop manufactured, and is often of inferior quality and fit.
When I found Celia Grace Bridal I... knew someone finally understood that every-size woman wants to celebrate her special day feeling like a goddess in a dress that is created by happy, healthy and thriving individuals . I have always felt that it is a hypocrisy to wear a garment that embodies happiness, fulfillment and love when it is manufactured in a hopeless environment.
With the cost of weddings in general I feel that what is spent on a Celia Grace dress is a true bargain. Isn't it wonderful that you can contribute to the happiness and welfare of those have helped to create something that takes center-stage at your wedding?
As far as the quality of the dress, I was floored. The layers of silk taffeta and organza are truly stunning and feel amazing. These fabrics are also mindfully-created, which is so hard to find, again not only in regular sizes but nearly-unheard of in plus sizes.
Marcie recommended dresses she felt would show my figure at it's best and we settled on the Rachel dress. And not only did I find the perfect dress, but Marcie respected my "dress your favorite color" wedding theme and added a STUNNNNNING cobalt belt and train (made with a sky blue taffeta silk and deep purple organza silk, on top).
Once I received my dress I took it to a seamstress (who thought the quality was amazing), and we added sleeves that Marcie had conceptualized, and a high-low seam, that was my idea.
Needless to say with all of the help and support and the incredible craftsmanship, I looked amazing and FELT amazing!
I whole-heartedly recommended to ANY SIZE BRIDE- if you are considering spending money on any part of your wedding, invest it in a master-work by Celia Grace!
