The Curvy Bride

r style to what I wanted. I ended up not buying that day, and was not pressured or treated differently! I scheduled 2 weeks later and upon arrival was shown a brand new dress to the store. I figured, why not try it, right?? Turns out, it was my dream dress after all. I couldn't take it off in the store and luckily was able to buy off rack. The selection is insane, even for very extended sizes, such as myself. I never felt uncomfortable or unwelcome, and truly loved the experience! All the women at the shop clapped and applauded when I said yes to the dress, which was so meaningful since some staff didn't even know me at all. I felt like an absolute princess in my dress on my wedding day. I even traveled 1.5 hours to get there - and it was worth it!!

gets and I felt absolutely AMAZING in my dress. The staff of absolutely amazing ! If they sold other dresses besides bridal I would always shop here ! Love The Curvy Bride !!!

oney. I get that they say all sales final but they werent losing a sale for a more expensive dress and I know for a fact it is not the manufaturer's policy. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE BRIDE'S BEST INTEREST AT HEART. SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER THE DRESS SHE PICKED DID NOT SUIT HER BODY TYPE AND SHOWN HER MORE THAN 6 DRESSES!!!!

o try anything on in my size. My expectations could not have been further from my reality. I not only had multiple options of beautiful dresses, but I was able to try them on in my size! Michelle heard what I was looking for and found several contenders right off the bat, and included a few more based on what I shared she thought I would like. Many places try and upsell you on gowns and accessories, however I had the opposite experience. After trying on half a dozen dresses, any of which I would have been happy with, Michelle brought one out from off the rack that she thought met all my parameters, and she was right. Her suggestion was hundreds of dollars less than what I had been trying on, but was the perfect dress for me. I appreciated her putting my happiness above the profit margin. She and Purvin were pleasant, helpful, and so accommodating. It was such a refreshing and rare experience to have so many viable options, to not feel embarrassed that nothing fit, or to have only limited options; I got to feel like a bride and not the fat girl!

ment with MaryAnn. She was so friendly, listened to what I want, didn't force me to "just try it!" when I didn't want to, but was also able to suggest some styles for me that I hadn't thought of before. She was never, ever, pushy and I never felt rushed into making a decision. I purchased a gown that I knew I liked (I had tried it on at one of the previous appointments at another shop), and MaryAnn saved it for last because I had indicated that it was my favorite. When my mom cried I knew that it was perfect. I bought my dress during a trunk show and got 15% off the total cost, which is due in full at the time of purchase. From there, all communication and appointments were set up with ease. I also did alterations with their seamstress, Lydia, who was fantastic. Truly I loved my experience with everyone there and I can't recommend them enough. If you don't fit into the typical body type and want to feel confident, take the trip to see the lovely stylists at The Curvy Bride! My drive was over an hour one way and it was worth every minute. THANK YOU! <3

d beautiful selection. We won't disappointed. We were supported by all of the staff there that day. Maryann led us to the samples, looking at two sizes. She chose three, I chose one and my daughter chose the last one. You have your own private room where Maryann assisted as much as my daughter allowed. First dress - LIKED, second dress NO, third dress - OK. I followed my daughters lead every time, but thank goodness we did agree. Fourth dress, she said, "Oh I like this". I said, the same. She said, "I like this a lot", I said the same. In front of full mirror she said, "Oh I think this is it". I said, "I do too, it's a beautiful dress, it's exactly what you wanted and you look beautiful". It was so emotional and I was so relieved, I didn't cry. I did turn to the fifth dress on the hanger and asked her, "Are you sure, because you can try this on". No this is the dress ! We were just so happy. Maryann quick grabbed the "Say Yes To The Dress" sign, everyone in the shop including another client clapped and asked the question. It was such a lovely moment for us. We took the dress home that day and had it altered by local shop. My daughter was beautiful on her wedding day! Everyone commented on the gown because it was special and you could tell how happy she was wearing it. It was a fairy tale dress for a fairy tale setting. Thank you Ladies of Curvy Bride.

sn't even open. I also had to call the day of my second appointment and Pervin answered "Hey Nicole!" immediately as if I was calling a friend. So personal, great customer service. We worked with Maria, Pervin, and Michelle between our two appointments. All three of them are lovely and every single second from when we walked in the door until leaving the building we felt and were treated like beautiful women. They are so body positive and had not one negative thing to say about any of the dresses my fiance and I tried on. We were looking for two dresses and arrived a little early for the appointment. I called to see if we could come in a half hour early and we were welcomed right in. The appointment lasted two and a half hours (way longer than the scheduled time) and I did not feel rushed at all. Michelle kept picking out dresses for me to try on because I was so undecided on what I truly wanted. There were sleeves I loved from one dress and wanted to add them to another, and Pervin called the dress maker and they were able to sell the sleeves separately if I wanted them! Above and beyond all expectations. Their dress selection is amazing and the dresses are all in sizes that you can't find at most bridal shops. I had previously gone to another bridal salon and had a terrible experience because all of the dresses were too small. Not at The Curvy Bride! Even if a dress wasn't our size, Michelle used her clips and tucked everything in to make it feel like and look like it fit. On top of all of that, you have the entire salon to yourself during your appointment, so you have the full attention of the staff and a personalized experience that is so hard to find! No trying on dresses next to a size 0 or not having enough seats for your entourage. Plenty of space and seating for everyone to enjoy the experience with you! A friend we brought with us is a type 1 diabetic. Her sugar was getting low and Michelle offered her a snack to help get her sugar back up. We truly felt that even though we walked in as strangers, we left as friends! I HIGHLY recommend checking out The Curvy Bride. I can't say enough good things about our experience. It's so hard to find clothing as a plus size person and not many stores do it right. The Curvy Bride does it right!

soo patient and intuitive. She knew with each dress what direction to take the next one in. She eventually found me my dream dress that was completely in my budget and out of my comfort zone. It was a dress I was not expecting to fall in love with, but with MaryAnn's guidance I found my dream dress. Everyone in the store was such a cheerleader. I really enjoyed my shopping experience with them!

it are hard and I never wanted to feel upset that they didn't have my size to try on, especially when it is such an important and expensive purchase. Going to The Curvy Bride I got to feel good about myself trying on dresses. The women there made me feel special and understood how important that was. If I hadn't found them I know it would have not been even half as good an experience for me. So thank you so much.

Michelle made me feel like such a beautiful bride and for once, I didn’t feel “plus size”, I just felt like a bride. Such an amazing place!!

of plus size samples? Was I going to be limited to a single style gown? I found The Curvy Bride through WeddingWire and how happy am I that I stumbled upon them. I made the over 1 hour trip to and back from them countless times (finding my gown, picking it up, ordering my veil, 2 fittings and then final pick up) and I'd do it all over again if I had to. The owner was so nice, friendly and flexible. The girls out front were always happy and personable. Their seamstress, Lydia, is a complete miracle worker. After I ordered my gown I ended up loosing some weight, not a ton, but definitely enough to make a difference in my gown.. and she took it in all over the place and hid the seams flawlessly. An amazing shop and an exceptional team

day! I received so many compliments on my dress! They also put a ton of work into it, they added sleeves and added extra lace from my dress to said sleeves-- it came out flawless! you couldn't even tell they weren't a part of the original dress! They also helped alter my mother's veil which I wore for my wedding. All around great service and I totally recommend them!!

e sizes and wide variety of dresses. Plus they carried Essence of Australia, which was a brand I had followed for years and not too many NJ stores carry it. I fell in love with my gown, and couldn’t have dreamed of a better dress for me. It’s funny because I went in with the mindset I wanted long sleeves A-line, and walked out with a strapless ballgown. But it was just perfect. I did all my alterations through the store as well, and she was amazing as well. Could not recommend any more.

he time to ask questions, give advice and suggestions, and offer solutions which went way above and beyond what is normally expected at a bridal salon. The patience and kindness which was shown to us at The Curvy Bride confirmed that we made the right decision when we chose this shop to purchase a bridal gown. Both Pervin and Mary Ann researched designers and availability for us in order to help us make our selection. I can say for certain that they put in extra hours trying to locate the perfect dress for my daughter, which was a combination of several different styles and features that she had tried on. It goes without saying that she was extremely happy with the final result, and we are grateful for all of the extra effort that was put forth on her behalf. The Curvy Bride works hard to ensure that their customers are satisfied. Currently, we are looking forward to the actual wedding day!

on September 10, 2021 after being rescheduled due to Covid! And I couldn’t be any happier with my selection! After losing an extensive amount of way to the medical issues it meant the world to me to feel like a princess and have my dream wedding! Hands-down The best wedding wedding shop in the state of New Jersey! Thank you curvy bride for making me feel beautiful.

on shows like say yes to the dress paired with my high anxiety left me nervously anticipating not being able to fit into any dresses in the shops, having to clip one on top of my clothes and not actually knowing what it would look like, and having to go to the dark, back corner to see the five plus size dresses most stores carry. Needless to say, The Curvy Bride blew me away. When you arrive you are greeted by the sweetest team of women who immediately make you feel beautiful, valued, and like family. As if it could get any better, I could fit ANY DRESS in the store! They carry their samples in plus sizes so any bride can have that magical wedding dress moment! They also can order for dresses who aren't plus size when you fall in love with one of their gorgeous gowns! The spaces where you try on dresses is closed off so you are the only one in the space which makes you feel even more comfortable. The angel on earth that is Pervin listened to everything I wanted in a dress and helped me find multiple different styles to try on. Even better, there was a sample sale going on at the time and the very first dress I tried on was the dress of my dreams and I took it home that night! The women at this store - staff and customers alike - are like your own team of hypewomen. We would run into other brides in the parking lot and it felt like we were one big family. I still can't believe how easy and actually enjoyable this process was! I came back multiple times to have my dress fitted after this and we didn't even mind driving one hour each way because these ladies are worth it! Make The Curvy Bride your first and last stop for the wedding dress of your dreams!

and I were greeted with huge smiles and we were treated well from the start. My consultant MaryAnn did anything and everything to make sure I was comfortable and let me try on everything I wanted. Thank you MaryAnn and The Curvy Bride staff for making dress shopping such a special experience!

Lydia who was the sweetest! I had lost a lot of weight after buying my dress and it all still worked out perfectly. The staff at this store is unlike any other dress shop I've been to. They are all the SWEETEST! Definitely check The Curvy Bride out!

p walking out with the first dress I tried on and was able to take that sample with me - it was an impeccably beautiful Stella York. I could not recommend the overall experience anymore! Can’t wait to see you ladies again in March for my first fitting!

only fit, but looked so good on me! I felt so confident and so happy that I found my dress here. I just got married this past weekend on May 22, 2021, and I'm just in love with my dress. I will definitely be sharing pictures when I get them back from my photographer. Thank you again Curvy bride. Nicest staff working here too!!!

a few fittings and alterations, but their seamstress helped me add a few details to customize the dress to my comfort and style. The end result was a breathtaking, perfectly fitted wedding gown that had my groom and guests in complete awe. They are the BEST bridal salon!!!

goes above and beyond. Would recommend this place to any bride!

re all fantastic.

verything I showed to her in pictures she found it for me or something similar. She did not pressure me into anything or rush me during the appointment. She let me try on the dresses multiple times just to make sure my dress was really my one. And it was it was the most beautiful dress. They helped me pick out a headpiece and veil but also did not pressure me into buying them, which for me is the best thing in the world, I’m easily turned off by pushing and will just leave. But these ladies are wonderful they make you feel like you have known them forever. Did my alterations there as well and Lydia is the sweetest woman I have ever met. She did a wonderful job on my dress!
