This is the story of a bride desperately looking for a gown to make her feel beautiful on her wedding day. Sadly, after visiting several salons, Mickie was not getting very far. The dresses weren’t what she had in mind and she began to feel certain that finding her dream dress just wasn’t in the cards.
Luckily, Mickie crossed paths with us. Since brides come in all different shapes, sizes and fashion sense, we’ve made sure to have an abundant selection available.
For many brides, trying on bridal gowns is an exciting ritual to be shared with family and friends. Everyone gathers at the dress shop to watch the transformation when the Perfect Dress is found. The bride steps out of the dressing room to oohs and ahhs, while mothers dab their eyes at the beautiful vision in front of them.
Unfortunately, for many women, this is not the scene. Some brides are filled with anxiety and stress while searching for a gown that makes them feel and look beautiful.
During my engagement, I flat-out refused to go shopping for a dress. After much encouragement, a friend dragged me to a salon. Sadly, the experience was exactly as I had feared. The dresses only went to a size 20 (size 12 in normal sizes) and they had to hold the back together for me to “get an idea” of how it would eventually look.
Not only was I humiliated, I was annoyed. Sadly, 14 years ago there were no other choice except to hire a seamstress and hope for the best.
Now there are options. Not only does Premier Bride’s Perfect Dress offer several styles and options, they have actual sample sizes for brides of all shapes, sizes and personal style.
Here is the letter we received from Mickie, as well as some amazing photographs. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
I wanted to give my thanks to you and the team at Premier Bride for helping this plus sized girl feel beautiful on her wedding day. I’ll never forget all those other stores that turned me away because of my size. But you not only helped me with the perfect wedding gown but treated me with kindness. I thank you for that. – Mrs. Mickie (Gill) Hansen
