online wedding dress disaster : Bride-to-be Jessica discovered her dream wedding gown at an upscale boutique—but later spotted an affordable replica online for a fraction of the price.
Unfortunately, her bargain backfired. The 38-year-old returned to the boutique carrying a poorly made, ill-fitting dress stuffed in a shopping bag, hoping to urgently find a replacement.
In an episode of Curvy Brides Boutique—available to watch for free on —Jessica turned to plus-size bridal experts Jo and Al to fix her mistake and help her find the original dress.
Jo admitted she wasn’t surprised that brides were tempted by cheaper gowns online, but warned that hitting ‘buy’ deserved careful thought. ‘Plus-size dresses are made specifically for plus-size women, and their price reflects the craftsmanship involved,’ she explained.

I think if you’re willing to take a gamble and buy online, well—what can I say? You get what you pay for.
When Jessica tried on the cheap dress, no one was surprised it didn’t measure up—it had flimsy lace that reminded them of doilies and lacked any supportive boning.
This just makes me think of rabbit droppings at the bottom of your dress—what’s that all about?’ Jo remarked, pointing to the visible brown buttons running down the back.
With only four months left until Jessica’s wedding, the pressure was on to find a solution.

Jessica couldn’t stop the tears as she slipped into her dream dress once more—this time, with no doubt she’d be leaving the boutique as its proud owner.
