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.

They stock new pieces on a seasonal basis and provide an average turnaround time of about six to eight months for a dress.

Perfect for my Plus Sized Girls

As someone who was very stressed about shopping for my dress, The Curvy Bride made it so easy. They only carry Plus Sizes so it was nice to know I could actually see what a dress would look like on my not so small body. I was shopping off the rank so I was only given options in my size but there were plenty of options and I tried on as many as I wanted (ended up choosing the very first one). They were so excited and involved in the process and when I did my alterations with them, I really felt like they listened to me and wanted me to look my best. For any of my fellow plus-sized girlies, this is the place!

Highly Recommend!

I bought my wedding dress at the Curvy Bride, and I could not be happier with their services! As a plus size woman, shopping is not always the most exciting experience for me. However, the Curvy Bride provided a comfortable environment for me to try on wedding dresses. They only have a couple of brides in the shop at a time, so the employees are very attentive, and all had such an encouraging attitude. They had a beautiful selection of dresses, and I picked out my dress on my first visit! I was so happy with my shopping experience that I utilized their alternations services as well. I highly recommend shopping at the Curvy Bride for your wedding dress!

The absolute BEST!

Finding my wedding dress at The Curvy Bride was an absolute dream! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fun, and truly special. When I first walked into the store, I was so nervous about whether any wedding dress would look good on my curvy body, but Michelle, Pervin, and the entire staff immediately put me at ease. They made me feel so comfortable and confident, and with their guidance, I found the perfect dress that made me feel like a princess. The compliments on my dress were endless, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice.

I can’t stop raving about how incredible The Curvy Bride is, and I will recommend them to everyone I know!
