Countless times I've gone formal dress shopping only to leave the "big box store" in tears and disappointment. The dresses off the rack never fit. I am so thankful I found The Re...
d Brick Cottage for my formal attire. I made an appointment for a private dress fitting and all attention was on me! It felt amazing to work with staff who understood my concern with sizing and my desire to feel beautiful on my special day. The very first dress I tried on fit like it was made for me. No alterations necessary (which is always a plus). Most importantly, I felt and looked beautiful. My experience was absolutely amazing. I will be visiting this sweet boutique from this moment on. I highly recommend them!

se along the way. The fittings went great, I felt so beautiful, and the last dress I tried on was the one! I had looked at this place a long time ago and when I couldn't find anything online that didn't break the bank or my dreams, we made the appointment and the trip. I couldn't be more happy with the quality, price, and professionalism of Michelle and her boutique, definitely check it out if you're a big busted curvy girl like me! Ill be back in July to order and I can't wait!!

e ladies, specialize in clothing for curvy ladies. Michelle immediately made me less anxious with her professionalism, her kindness and her understanding ways. I told her what I had in mind and she had it ready when I went for my appointment. She also had other suggestions, as did my daughters. Not only did I find "the dress" but ended up with two other formal dresses for upcoming cruises. And maybe some other pieces. They are very knowledgeable. And the prices were incredibly reasonable. Highly recommend this shop.

This vendor while new to Wedding Dresses, and dresses for bridal party, mother and so on, is right on the mark. They cater to plus size women. The owner, Michelle, who is a plus ...
size woman herself can relate to the bride on so many levels and help alleviate many of the stresses of getting the perfect dress (from shapewear, bra's and even accessories). My daughter a plus size woman who just had a baby and felt like there was no way she would find her special dress. Not only did she find her dress, it was AFFORDABLE, and she was pampered throughout the whole process. To watch my daughter go from nervous about the process and feeling hopeless to crying when she tried on the perfect one, was so emotional and amazing. The dresses aren't size 0, they are plus size to try on so you really get a look whether you need alterations or not (we don't, other than hemming) and I honestly can't rate this little shop/boutique anything but EXCELLENT! If you are plus size, don't let this shop get by you, you will not be sorry!
