Curvaceous Couture Bridal featuring plus size samples

attach photos) thank you guys!!

s (which I could see the incentive to do, since they’re at minimum 4x the price of any of the evening dresses they sold). They directed me to their evening/prom wear section and I tried on a half-dozen I think. When I tried on the one I ultimately selected, my friend, and other patrons in the store who’d seen me come out in each dress, were all aflutter. “You’re going to get that one, right? You should get that one!” Fortunately, I agreed with them, and my wedding dress hunt was finally, thankfully, over! I thought I would want a red dress, but the blue dress I got was simply beautiful. Salesperson listened to what I wanted, pulled dresses she thought I would like, and was great helping me into and out of them. The blue dress I got was so inexpensive, I bought it thinking, “Heck, even if I decide to keep looking for a wedding dress, I want to get this dress for some unspecified future occasion.” (But after I bought it, I found I was more than ready to be done wedding dress shopping. It was the worst part of the whole planning process.) At the time of sale, they had a seamstress take a look at how it might be altered to better fit me, and gave me an estimate of what that would cost. They sent the dress home with me and told me to call several months later to schedule a fitting and alterations. I got that done in a timely fashion and it ended up costing one third of what they estimated. When I went for the final fitting, I asked them to hem it up a little further than they wanted, because it was interfering with my dancing (they have enough space that I twirled around a bit to test it out). They cut a bit more and hemmed it again while I waited, very fast and easy. My friend who went with me had her daughter go there to find a prom dress shortly after, and she got a great one and had a wonderful experience too. Highly recommend!

nding my dress at a different store and even if my dress shopping experience at Curvaceous Couture ended there, I would still recommend them. The store was beautiful, their dressing rooms were spacious and spotless, their gowns were stunning and their staff was so friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the other store ended up destroying my dress and I was left without a dress 6 weeks before my wedding. Luckily, Curvaceous Couture saved the day! They were able to fit me in for a last minute appointment one evening and could not have been more understanding and sympathetic about my situation. During my appoint, my sales consultant and the store's owners, Yukia and Yunesia, found me several dresses that I loved and that were able to sell me right off the rack. With their help, I found a dress I loved even more than my original dress. They then made the situation even better by offering me the price the dress would be sold for at an upcoming sample sale. Their seamstress, Amy, did an impeccable job taking a dress many sizes too big and making it fit perfectly. Curvaceous Couture was able to take a terrible situation and turn dress shopping back into a wonderful experience. Thanks to them, I felt more beautiful in my dress than I ever imagined I could.

sad to say that my experience at Curvaceous Couture was a mixed to negative one. The dress appointment to try on dresses was wonderful. The consultant was upbeat and open to letting us take pictures with the dresses on so I could see what photographed well. She even asked me if we could try on a particular dress because the sample size was a 16 and most of their clientele’s size are in the mid-to-upper twenties. I felt petite, beautiful, and confident, which is what every woman wants to feel at her appointment. When it came time to choose a dress, I couldn’t decided because I felt that most dresses looked amazing on. In the end, the consultant picked one final dress, which is what ended up being “the one.” I purchased the dress with a crystal belt to accentuate my waist. The negative aspect hit with alternations. FYI: All costs must be paid on the first alternations appointment (the rest of the dress cost and the entire cost of alternations). The alternations were horrible! See details below: 1) It costed almost $700. We were promised that this would cover the alternations from the first appointment all the way to the wedding. This was not the case. They expected us to pay for any alternations done on separate appointments. 2) During the 1st appointment, the seamstress made one side of the bust considerably looser than the other. When I pointed it out, she said they would take care of it on the second appointment. I still insisted that they do something about the shape (one was pointed and the other was more rounded). She did it begrudgingly, but it didn't fix the fit of the top. 3) On my 2nd appointment, I found out the seamstress took in the whole dress too small because she overheard me tell my mom that I wanted to lose more weight before the wedding. Because I purchased a fit-and-flare dress (one that's fitted until the tops of my thighs), this required me to go on a severe diet so I could loose enough weight for it to fit on my wedding day, which meant I couldn't participate in a bachelorette party or go out to eat with loved ones for fear of gaining inches. 4) We were kicked out of the 2nd appointment. Yes, kicked out! Apparently, they assumed I would just try on the dress, give my okay to have it steamed and pick it up two weeks before the wedding. So they only gave me a 15 minute slot, without telling me. So while we're arguing with the seamstress about the fit and that she wanted to charge more money to attach the belt (even though it's supposed to be included), one of the owners literally demanded that we leave and proceed to grab my things and throw it out of the room. Great way to treat a customer who has already paid over $2500! 5) In addition to other mishaps, on the day of the wedding, we found out they gave us the wrong veil (there goes $200), the bust was HUGE because they refused to take it in (the owner tried to convince us that double-sided tape would be a better solution that a professional alternation), and the length, even after bustled, was too long. All my guests were tripping on my dress throughout the night. Also, because of the ill-fitted bust, part of my bra could be seen in my wedding photos. Save yourself the headache. Buy and alter your dress elsewhere.

body or how it would feel. I also couldn't show any of my family members who were anxiously waiting for me to come out in a gown. Luckily, Curvaceous Couture had an entire room of dresses in my size and budget. I was able to try on many beautiful dresses and show my family. I picked a beautiful Allure gown that my guests complimented me on all night!

d in and what I liked. I would recommend them to anyone and especially any plus size bride. Their dress selection was impeccable!

ress I wanted. The staff made me feel like a bride, not just a number or a fat girl. I could fit in the sample dresses (which was a huge confidence boost) and they listened to what I had to say. I had a vision and they made it a reality for my special day!

n put me back in my dream dress and let me stare at myself for even longer than the first time! I said at least 100x during my appointment that I was loving every second of it. I went to several stores before traveling from PA to MD to go to Curvaceous Couture and let me tell you, as a curvy girl- it seemed like the consultants in those stores had some weird problem with my body that they were trying to force on me. I am SO comfortable in my skin, and I'm not too far above our national average- but boy were people rude! The things that come out of some people's mouths without thought are horrendous. I think that I almost settled on a gown prior to CC because it fit!! At CC, EVERYTHING fit. I was trying the most gorgeous gowns that FIT. That alone is amazing to me. I was able to have my bridal moment where I fell in LOVE with my gown. I didn't just like it because I could get it over my butt. I fell in love with Maggie Sottero's Marianne gown in blush. Love my gown, love my consultant for dealing with me, LOVED my experience. It was undoubtedly worth the drive and will continue to be worth it every single time that I return to MD for my alterations!! Also, Sophie is amazing, but the other gals are super nice, too! I highly recommend Curvaceous Couture! It was everything I ever dreamed my bridal experience should be!

want to be able to try on gorgeous gowns in their own size. I can't wait to wear my beautiful dress on my wedding day!

was looking for in a wedding dress and it was at an amazing price. I may have tried two other bridal salons during my process but one, I couldn't fit the samples, and two, their service level just didn't compare to Curvaceous Couture's. They have an amazing staff and they have amazing dresses for curvy women. They provide you with the experience that you are looking for as a curvy bride that you cannot get anywhere else. Just hands down amazing!!! Special shout out to Shannon, Amy and the owners Mom, they were by my side every step of the way, felt like family when it was all said and done. Thank you so so much, my dress was EVERYTHING!!!!! I will forever and ever recommend Curvaceous Couture to Brides!!!!

y of selections to try, and to have the very best experience possible when choosing her gown. We were so very lucky to have found Curvaceous Couture. Everyone at the shop was wonderful, and so kind and supportive. They took very good care of my daughter (and me too; I got my dress for her wedding from them as well!). We will be making another drive up to Baltimore in October for her first alterations appointment, and we're actually looking forward to it! I just can't say enough about how positive this experience was for my daughter. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

ed through gowns in the fitting room. It was not what a bridal appointment should be. With men everywhere, spaces in the curtains, and cameras all over the place, it was so uncomfortable. They didn't give me a heads up or ask if I wanted to reschedule. I tried to stay away from the cameras but as we were leaving we were chased down by a production member in the parking lot saying we were in his shots and had to sign paperwork and have our photo taken holding up the contract. NO WAY IS THIS OK! How unprofessional and disrespectful is this business?! I would not recommend them to anyone. They also were the only place to ask me to go over budget and their selection of lace dresses wasn't impressive. There is a better shop in DC.

of more classic designs. The dressing rooms are only separated from the viewing area by curtains that gape and DONT keep the future bride out of view as she has her fitting. While I appreciate the fact that they do carry dresses for larger sizes, they seem to now consider their tv show more important than their customers. Customers are greeted with a sign that says your entering implies consent to be filmed. Then you are badgered by members of the production crew asking for your consent form to be signed or you have to leave when they begin filming. The lighting and atmosphere are not pleasant at all--which is also affected by the brighter lights the film crew needs. I am sorry but this store is not that great that it deserves a tv show and they seem to be risking the satisfaction of their clientele to earn additional $$ from the show. They should at least put the tv show in the back room and save the customers in the front from all that nonsense but instead, the clientele who buy the priciest dresses (over $2K) are kept in the back away from filming .

d never gave up looking for my dream dress!!!

pbeat and knowledgeable. I found my dress on the first visit and felt amazing! The seamstress was a bit intense for me as she told me not to "eat too much or your dress will not fit." However, she did a great job taking in the bustline and creating the bustle. The dress looked amazing and I felt so beautiful on my wedding. I would recommend Curvaceous Couture to any bride.

ere, I was able to select 7 different samples to try on. It was so hard to pick just one! The staff really assisted me with everything. They were friendly and patient during the entire process and they really made me feel special. My order came in earlier than expected and even the alteration process was great. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for the ultimate bridal gown buying experience.

in the first shop I went to, but their selection was so varied and the saleswomen were so wonderful that they made it easy to find the perfect dress.

. When the dresses came in I had the alterations done there, at great expense. That is where the problems arose. The first dress (for Nov) was less problematic but I was unable to raise my arms!!!! I was told the fabric wasn't stretchy. I have certainly worn "non-stretchy"dresses and could lift my arms. I felt restricted. The second dress was a HUGE disaster. It was ordered much to large and the alterations rendered it unwearable. I tried asserting myself but there was such little time left and I was panicking that this could not be "nade right" I gave up, took the dress and bought a different dress off the rack from another shop. I actually spent closer to 1700.00 for the two dresses I wasted a large amount of $ that I really could not afford. The moral of the tale, if you go there do not have it altered there and be careful of the size that is ordered!! what was once a potentially lovely purple gown was a purple disaster! never worn wasted$ and given to Good Will.

good, occasionally it was not the most professional. I often was left standing awkwardly at the door while employees chatted at return visits. My initial appointment though, they were very flexible and accommodating! They allowed me to have a large group and take over the store, and I was able to find my dress with my out of state family there. It was a great experience! Fittings and subsequent visits were less flexible and less professional, but I would still completely recommend this location. The selections of dresses were great, and the alterations were excellent although very expensive. Highly recommended for alterations as well.

was basically impossible to get an idea for how the dress would look on my body. I was fearful I was going to have to settle for something that I didn't actually want. Thank goodness for Curvaceous Couture! They had several dresses for me to try and multiple different styles. I am a very simple bride, so Curvaceous Couture's seamstress is custom making my dress! AND it's even in the price range I was hoping to stay within! All of the staff is super friendly and welcoming! I could NOT be any happier! I wish I could give them 100 stars!

s a great variety of gowns for us "Sexy Curvy Girl". The ladies there are very nice to EVERYONE it doesnt matter what walks of life you come from and I really love them for that and the services is EXCELLENT. And I just want to add that its a black owned bridal place and it has that very high class stature and all the ladies have that very warm and inviting attitude that made my experience there great. They really know how to make each bride feel special. I luck up and found them on the internet after trying so many other bridal places that really didnt have any "show stopper" gowns for us "real size women". The bridal gown I got at Curvaceous Couture was SO BEAUTIFUL and everyone at my wedding couldnt stop telling me so but the number one person in my book that I couldnt wait to see it was my now husband and he loved my dress as well. I really felt like a princess that day and Curvaceous Couture I owe you wonderful ladies for that and I cant thank you enough. I highly recommend every bride to go CURVACEOUS COUTURE you will not regret it. Sincerely, Lisa

s to admire the gorgeous dresses. My consultant was incredibly helpful (Shannon) and she really listened to me. She found the perfect dress for me! I've ordered it and am excitedly anticipating its arrival! Thank you, Curvaceous Couture!

beginning to end, I visited the shop 6 times (including my initial visit) and each time I had a pleasant experience. The dresses were great. I only tried on a few, but I ended up purchasing the first dress that I tried on. The sales representative brought me exactly what I asked for in the first round. My experience was so positive, that my mother bought her dress from them as well and her experience was equally as positive. I must mention that the seamstress is fantastic! My dress fit like a glove.

amstress was outstanding and fixed 3 dresses for me in one fitting. I have never had a seamstress get a garment to fit my body in one go. It was incredible. Everyone was so friendly and supportive.

aid of honor to the appt because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of too many people. The staff was incredible and I felt comfortable right away! They were all so helpful and made me feel beautiful on that first visit as well as every visit to follow. Although I was not planning on finding a dress in that first visit, I found my wedding dress in the second one I tried on! Such an amazing selection and kind staff part of me wishes I could go back and just play dress up with the ladies in the shop.

shop. The bridal collection was awesome!!! I will recommend this shop to any new bride! They will not be disappointed!!

edding date to make sure the gown would be back in time and we did, yet they stole our money. My sister -in-law recommended Curvaceous since time was of the essence. I was not happy about not having the wedding gown I search high and low for and finally find it. From the conversation on the phone until I arrived at Curvaceous the owner worked with me. Not only did I find a gown that compliment my hips everyone was caring, and did everything to put a smile on my face. I would highly recommend this boutique to all full figure ladies. You will get personal attention from start to finish. Thank You every one at Curvaceous Couture Bridal Collection for making my day

idn’t want that added stress around my wedding. I met with Sophia for my wedding dress and she had me try on numerous dresses that I liked. She really listened to my style and we clicked right away. I had broken my foot two months before, and I was still in a walking cast, and Sophie got me and my cast in and out of these gorgeous gowns. I ended up with the first one I tried on there. I really got my “say ‘yes’ to the dress” moment. I still loved my dress as much as the day I picked it when I walked down the aisle with it. I am trying to find ways I can still wear it. I chose my bridesmaid dresses at CC, as I was there and half of my bridesmaids were size 10+. A month later the designer had discontinued the dress! Yukia to the rescue! She calmed me down expertly and took care of everything. I got my dresses and they turned out wonderfully. My mother also bought her dress at CC. Her dress was stunning and she was thrilled with it. Amy with alterations is fantastic! There were a few ways the dress was laying that bothered me and she fixed it, no problem. All my bridesmaids and I had chiffon jackets made for a Jewish ceremony, and they were wonderful. I plan to use her for my future alterations. At CC you become part of a family. No question is stupid, no concern is minimal. They provide the best service you can hope for. A special shout out to Yenisia. She was with me every step of the way, from buying with Sophia, the bridesmaid fittings, the alterations, and then the final pick up. It really an amazing place! If you can afford to spend a little more than DB or AA, or are a 10 or higher and want to have an memorable experience, go there, you won’t regret it!

to try on, I would have started shopping much sooner. I did not want just any dress for my daughter's wedding, I wanted something special. After searching for a couple of months at numerous stores and bridal shops, I was frustrated and disappointed with the lack of selection of dresses in my size and the generally mediocre customer service I received. With the wedding approaching rapidly, and just when I was ready to give up and settle for a dress that was not quite what I wanted, I found Curvaceous Couture. They are a hidden gem. They have a great selection of high quality fashionable dresses to try on. Additionally, they are very courteous and professional as well as being extremely attentive and they genuinely care for their customers. I highly recommend Curvaceous Couture due to the warm, sincere, caring, professional treatment I received from Yuneisia Harris as well as the great selection of high quality dresses they have available for curvy ladies. Sincerely, Tammy S.

ce wasn't very good. The first salon I went to only had one....that's right ONE gown in the entire shop that I could actually try on, so I was very concerned about being able to find a salon that would have a large variety of stylish, sexy and sophisticated gowns. Curvaceous Couture had more than I had imagined and the overall experience was fantastic. My consultant's name was Sophia and she was excellent! I described the look I was going for and she got it right away. She had me pull some gowns from the stock they had on the floor and then she went to the back and pulled other beautiful and very stylish gowns for me to try. Can you believe the very first gown I tried on was THE one!!! Ladies, just because we're curvy doesn't mean we don't have style and want to look HOTT...yes hot with two tt's on our big day. Never settle in life, especially when it comes to the way you look on your wedding day. Give Curvaceous Couture a try, I promise you won't be sorry. Tell them Tiffany G. sent you. :D

brides, I wanted to feel stunning on my wedding day. I was looking for high quality lace, a classic and timeless look and to feel like I was a bride - not an easy task. The previous shops I went too and tried dresses on-- made me feel horrible about myself and all the garments were cheap! The quality for a plus-sized woman should NEVER be compromised just because of size. There are designers out there that believe in this mantra as well, I just needed to find them in the wedding industry. The moment my mom told me about Curvaceous, I hopped online and looked around at their collections. I was BEYOND excited about the ability to try on a sample size that would fit and be luxurious. Pronovias caught my eye immediately. The lace, the lines and all the options. I couldn't wait to try them on. When I stepped in the door for my appointment, my family and I were greeted like old friends and directed to look around there extensive collections. They let us get familiar with the dresses and then asked us questions to get a little deeper into what I was looking for. Nothing was pressure filled, judgmental or awkward. It was like a few friends sitting around discussing my wedding. I was wonderful. My appointment was amazing. I thought I knew the style that I liked, but when trying them on it just wasn't it. Yukia Walker was standing by the appointment and overheard that I just wasn't finding "The Dress." She brought over a style that I had not thought of, I tried it on, and although I didn't cry--I did get the feeling that it was the one. She had nailed it. She knew the vision I was looking to create and found it in their inventory. In order to create the look that I envisioned, I was going to have to enlist a talented seamstress. Luckily, they have one--Amy and her talent, match the quality that Curvaceous wants to uphold. My vision was met with buttons, hand sown lace around the entire bottom of the dress, hidden buttons for bustling my dress, a lace bolero and removal of crinoline in multiple places. These are not just alterations, but creating a whole new perfect dress that is one of a kind. I spent hours with their team laughing, learning and making my vision come true. I regard them as family, as woman that uplift each other and people that create visions for the most important day of your life. This is a group of talented, kind hearted visionaries--that happen to sell wedding dresses.

was able to buy. It was my dream dress! They were always professional and accommodating. I just couldn't find anything I liked at David's Bridal (what I like to call 'the Walmart of the wedding world), and at other bridal boutiques, I could barely fit the size 8 sample on my body. At CC, they have hundreds of quality gorgeous gowns for a variety of budgets (my sample gown was 1K to give you an idea). They treated me like a princess- it was the wedding gown shopping experience I always wanted! Even after I bought my gown, they continued to care about ME (and not just my money!). I used them for alterations as well, and their seamstress is awesome! She can do anything.

and staff were friendly and very helpful. After trying on several dresses, I fell in love with one that ended up being on the low end of my budget (yay!) and I never felt they were trying to get me to buy a more expensive one, even though they knew I was prepared to spend more. My dress came last week and I am love it. I haven't had my fitting yet, but so far I feel like I made the best decision choosing CC and would recommend them to EVERYONE. The model dresses are larger sizes but they can order and fit for anyone. "Because the love of his life isn't always a size 6", i.e. they cater to real sized women :)

the name of the woman who helped me, but she was so patient and really listened to what my concerns were. All in all, I got a Reem Acra dress for a David's bridal price!

hopping for and fitting my dress a wonderful experience!!

llent....from helping with picking out a dress, getting into the dress (a lot harder when you have to do it by yourself), and alterations. I decided on Calistoga by Enzoani. Best decision I made. I felt like a princess on that very special day. I am a plus size woman and Curvaceous Couture made the dress shopping experience a wonderful and beautiful one. I am glad that I went there first and made my way back to purchase the dress of my dreams.

job. The dress and veil came in just as they should and when they said it would. The fittings went well and they know exactly what to do. They knew exactly what kind of veil to order and how to alter it to my best advantage. I had one problem, some of the pins were left in the dress and I didn't know it until during the ceremony. Once I let them know they took care of it and were very responsive. They even came to see the dress and make sure it was okay. I am not deducting anything on the ratings for this because of how well they responded to the issue.

try on any dress I wanted. They have a wonderful selection and are very helpful. Their alterations works miracles. I would strongly recommend them to any bride. They gave me the wedding gown of my dreams! Thank you!

well.

When I arrived at Curvaceous Couture there were no other customers there and I had the last appointment. I found the two women there to be courteous and patient as I agonized over the gorgeous gowns they had selected. Their shop was spacious, clean and very professional. I gave them my budget and they didn't try to push me into a higher price point, but stayed within my limit and found a variety of options for me, since I was still unsure of what I was looking for. My maid of honor was able to view a selected of bridesmaid gowns on a monitor in the same dressing room I was in, it was outstanding. I became very indecisive in the end attempting to choose between two wonderful gowns and even though it was past closing, the ladies were patient and waited for me to agonize about it in front of the mirror as I tried both dresses on again and again. In the end, I found my dream dress and when my wedding date changed by 6 months, they were kind enough to keep the dress in storage since I had nowhere else to store it. When I came for my first fitting, I had lost a lot of weight and the seamstress there was able to make the dress fit like a glove. I also got my mother's dress here and with her being out of state, they were very accommodating in scheduling appointments around her visits. I have been recommending Curvaceous Couture to every plus size bride or wedding vendor I know and I hope they stay in business for a while.

bridal party (sizes 2 - 26) all got their gowns here. I had not planned to purchase my bridesmaids dresses here, but when Priscilla of Boston fell through, in stepped CC with the perfect dress at the perfect price point for my 7 bridesmaids, sizes 2 - 14. Because all of my bridesmaids live out of town, CC coordinated the shipping the dress and the shoes to each girl with pleasant and professional customer service. My mom (size 6) got her gown the same time I did. Amy in alterations was great! My veil was made custom just for me. Further, one of my hostesses was without a gown 2 weeks prior to the wedding. She was able to purchase a dress off the rack and have it altered in time for the wedding. Finally, this store is beautiful, luxurious, and high-tech with a Mac flat screen for you to flip through pictures of all the gowns offered. All of this made for a really beautful, stress-free experience. Thank you Curvaceous Couture!!!

I tried David's Bridal and a number of other bridal boutiques and none of them had the styles that I wanted in my size. All the sales women asked me to "imagine" what their size 6 dress would look like on my size 12 frame. OR they took me to their two rack "plus sized" section. It was making me crazy... and destroying my confidence, which is NOT how you are supposed to feel as the blushing bride. Then I found Curvaceous Couture on WeddingWire and all these women - sizes 10, 12, 20 - were raving about it. I went there and I saw why. First off, the dresses are stunning. There is a wide, GORGEOUS selection of gowns that are actually couture. Nothing cheap looking or poorly constructed (my grandmother was a seamstress). AND I could put everything on! I didn't have to "imagine" a thing! I actually ENJOYED the experience. Yukia, the owner, is amazing. She was attentive, kind, funny and professional. I felt like I was getting extremely personal attention the entire time. She is actually the one that made me try on what is now my wedding gown. I was looking at very simple A-lines and she brought this dress into my dressing room and told me to try it. I said... "Well, that looks like it has a lot going on..." She said, "Trust me, this will be beautiful on your shape, and if you dont like it, we'll keep looking!" It was PERFECT, ladies. PERFECT! Every bride knows that feeling when you turn around and see youself in the mirror in the bridal shop and say, "Oh my god! I'm a bride!" This was THE dress and I passed it over three times on the showroom floor (which is clean, classic and sophisticated, by the way). Because of the way the dress looked, I knew I had fallen for a dress that was WAY over my budget... IT WAS NOT! It was completely affordable (less than $900 - which for this dress is a STEAL!) So I knew this was The One; I wanted my mother to see it. But she was coming down the weekend before Christmas when Curvaceous (a family business - AWESOME!) was closed for that week. When I told the owner that I wished I could have my mom see if before I pulled the trigger, she offered to open the store just for my mother and I, the WEEKEND BEFORE CHRISTMAS! Amazing. I know this was a long one but I cannot say enough positive things about this store and this owner. They say its all over once you choose the dress... well the people at Curvaceous made this oh-so-important experience a beautiful one. If you want to feel special, attended and beautiful in your skin (which is rare in most dressing rooms, lets face it) then GO TO CURVACEOUS COUTURE!! From finding the dress to my fittings it was a wonderful experience with wonderful women. Thanks, Yukia!!! =)

!! I found my dream dress by dress 6 and it was nothing like I thought I would get. It's like the owner Yukia sees your body and just knows what will look the best!! I loved them so much I even came back with my bridesmaids to get their dresses. We found a bridesmaids dress by dress 3 that ALL the girls loved!! We even found a mother of the bride dress too. I can not thank them enough for making this experience the best!!! If you are plus sized you need to go see Yukia and her family, they will treat you right!!

tuff. They made me feel very comfortable and brought life to the appointment. I had another appointment at a different salon that was dried and not so great. I really enjoyed myself and am happy to say I purchased my dress from this salon. So I definetly recommend this salon to all brides. Curvy and all. The gowns are of excellent quality and style, and you have so many to choose from.

get ! I not only found my dream dress but a beautiful reception gown! Greatest experience ever....if your curvy and want a stunning dress ....please go...you will not be disappointed !!!

oks good on different body types. I would recommend this shop to everyone!

l work on a body and she has a passion for this business. Unfortunately, I don't recall the names of the other ladies, but they are all wonderful. I wear a size 34-36 dress and you know how disappointing it must have been for me to look online for dresses and at bridal shops who say they carry larger sizes. Well, excuse me, but size 26 might be larger but when it's the largest size you carry, that just doesn't cut it for many of the real world women out here! The process was devastating and extremely depressing and demoralizing. Until one day, in desperation, I called Curvacsous Couture, thinking they wouldn't be able to help me. No one else could fit me. They got me in quickly for a late evening appointment - just me - there was no one else coming from my bridal party at that time. It was about 12 weeks until my wedding and too late to order a dress from China to be made for me (which is how they do it- they are all made overseas apparently.) To be honest, when I stepped in the door and told them my budget, the owner, Yukia said that their dresses start at more than double my budget. I'm sure she recognized the real look of hopelessness cross my face because she said, "Let's see what we might be able to sample for you." They then pulled I think 5 dresses from their sample stock. None of them was anything like I described that I was looking for, but let me tell you...These ladies know exactly what they are doing. The one dress I thought wasn't my style was the one that literally took all our breath away. When they laced me up and pulled the laces tight, everyone in the room (there were 3 of us) literally gasped very loudly. My daughter heard us out in the showroom. The dress was amazing. Simply amazing. Suddenly I felt beautiful and hopeful. Suddenly this very apple shaped woman was shapely and lovely. We added a belt and a veil and OMG, what a transformation. Because my arms are very big, I wanted a jacket and they had none that worked with my dress, so Amy, the incredible seamstress, has hand made a jacket for me. She recreated the lace that is in the dress, which is a very distinctive lace and the jacket is amazing. Somehow she knew what was in my heart without my really saying because I didn't really know how to describe what I really wanted. So on my 2nd fitting, I saw the jacket and the dress that she had hemmed and we made a few more very minor alterations. I can't wait to see it all come together on my next fitting when the jacket is completed. I truly felt like Cinderella. They took this tired and discouraged 56 year old woman and transformed her into a young-feeling, beautiful woman. At least in my eyes, and isn't that what really counts?

ore is the only one a moderate distance from where we both live and to be told there are no appointments available to parties of 5 or less is outrageous. It is poor business practice to turn away clients that should have an equal opportunity in the bridal/bridesmaid experience because of party size. I was told a the Baltimore Bridal Showcase that appointments would not be a problem to arrange come April so I have patiently waited to call. I think you should reconsider your policy. I will be publishing my thoughts so that other brides/bridesmaids/mothers may know what to expect from this specialty store.

smaid dresses recommeded Curvaceous Couture knowing that I would have a better selection of wedding dresses to try on than most places. Instead of being tramatized by trying to squeeze myself like a sausage into a sample size I was able to actually enjoy the experience and have the same incredible selection that every other brides gets to. The owner and all of her employees were unbelievably accomodating and wonderfully supportive. I can't say enough about them and their extraordinary store. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this a truly lovely experience!

s perfect in every way. You have to check them out!

eception came over to assist me. I tried on a few dresses that I loved but it just wasn't the one. Once the consultant finished with her bride she helped me. I showed her the pictures of dresses that I liked and she was able to show me dresses based on my ideas. Out of the 3 dresses that she showed me I fell in love with 2 dresses that I didn't want to part with. Curvaceous is a one stop shop, this is a placed that I didn't feel judged because of my shape and size. They made me feel like the perfect pride to be. This is the place to shop if you want a unique and special experience. Curvaceous Couture is definitely a one stop shop... Thanks ladies for making me feel special!

he doors, as a plus-size there are always hesitation and thought as to whether or not they truly have inventory on hand to fit me. However, when you are greeted by the friendly staff (who are mostly related to one another) and they introduce you to their services, all of those doubts left my mind. I had the honor of trying on over 8 dresses, which were all beautiful in their own right, and then it happened, one of the staff members picked out the perfect dress for me and the rest was history. The dress was unique, fit my figure perfectly and had a color hue that complimented my skin complexion. On my special day, I felt amazing and sexy! Matter of fact, I think Curvceous Courture helped me to embrace my figure in such a way that I cannot stop looking at the photo images while saying to myself, "I looked amazing." Thank you for creating such a store to cater to plus size women. I'm also proud to say, that my entire bridal party was able to purchase their gowns from this establishments and their sizes ranged from a 2 to 18. :-)

adies could not have been more wonderful. I highly recommend and think the very best of them.

t all-- and some structure work in the top of my dress that was promised... never was provided.

you have their undivided attention during your appointment and really make you feel special. Their selection is top of the line and prices are reasonable. They have the best of everything from bridal to social.

ppy with their service, and very happy with my dress.

gowns that aren't being seen on all brides like David's Bridal and other main labels. The large dressing rooms made the experience all that much more incredible. My only reason for not selecting 5 stars is because I would like more privacy while changing between dresses (and this could just be my issue), but with service like this, I'll just be sure to wear my undergarments to the boutique! I know I'll buy a dress from here once I decide on which one! Thanks ladies for the best experience thus far :) This was the first time I actually volunteered to take a survey! I only promote companies I truly believe rendered great service.

essure buying experience. They have a very nice selection of styles and designers, and their prices are very competitive. i would absolutely recommend Curvaceous Couture to any "plus size" bride who wants to find a fabulous dress in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

a dress over my hips to see what it would look like. I also visited bridal shops that carry plus sizes and found my selection extremely limited to a few dresses. After leaving a bridal shop in tears, I found Curvaceous Couture. What an amazing experience!! It felt so good to see any dress hanging and know I’ll be able to try it on. The selection was ample and the quality of the dresses was excellent. Yuneisia listened to what I was looking for and pulled dresses that fit my vision and were within my price range. I found the perfect dress for me and encourage any bride (curvaceous or not) to visit the salon. Thank you ladies for turning a disastrous experience into one where I felt absolutely beautiful (as any bride should)!!

y went through their inventory to find what they had in my size and in the color that I needed. I made an appointment to go down that weekend! When I arrived, they immediately greeted me and made me feel weldome. (a huge change from some of the shops I was in near my home town) I looked through the gowns they had on the racks, but didn't really see anything that caught my eye until I saw IT on the mannequin! They took the gown off the mannequin and it was my size! I tried it on and that was it, I was hooked!!! 3 weeks later I arrived home with the gown, altered (just a little) and ready for the wedding in 2 weeks! If you are a curvy woman, I highly recommend this vendor for you! They are friendly, professional and will go out of their way for you. I was not able to find a gown in my size and color in the shops near me and there were some shops that acted like they didn't even want me in them! I drove almost 2 hours to get to this shop and it was well worth it!

d dislikes. I highly recommend this shop to any bride- curvaceous, or not!!!!! They are awesome!

and professional atmosphere. The professional staff knew exactly how to pick out dresses that would flatter my curves; not hide them. The boutique is very large and the fitting room is amazing. I walked away undecided on two dresses and will be returning in a few days to pick the "one" and a MOB dress.

o my every need and want and found the perfect dress for me. When I went to Curvaceous Couture, I had a completely different image in my head of what I was looking for, but Yukia was able to pinpoint the perfect dress for me and I knew it was the one the moment I put it on. The sisters are Curvaceous Couture made me feel at ease and like I had known them forever. I love the private rooms with mirrors so that I didn't have to go out and model in front of strangers. I highly recommend CC to all plus-size brides. You will feel respected and comfortable being you.
