About

The Curvy Bride is a wedding dress outlet located in Englishtown, New Jersey. The business was founded following the owner’s own experience of not being able to find a plus-size wedding dress. Realizing there were few boutiques that provided dresses in the size she needed, Michelle Files decided to help fill that gap in the wedding world. Now she supplies brides with elegant dresses that are comfortable and true to each customer.

The Curvy Bride provides bridal gowns, accessories, alterations, and gown preservation. They stock new pieces on a seasonal basis and provide an average turnaround time of about six to eight months for a dress. The other products they can supply to their clientele in addition to bridal gowns include jewelry, hair accessories, and veils.

Personal, body positive, professional experience

There are so many positive things I have to say about The Curvy Bride. 10/10 for sure!
It starts with the ease of the website for booking appointments. I called to ask a question and the owner, Michelle, called me back on a day that the salon isn'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!
