How size-inclusive is the bridal industry? In this episode, Associate Features Editor Ana Escalante breaks down her recent piece about her search for the perfect wedding dress as a plus-size bride. She and Editorial Director Lauren Eggertsen unpack the unfair dilemma that plus-size brides often find themselves in: either shopping for a mass market dress that doesn’t suit their style, or paying tens of thousands for a custom gown because the demi couture boutiques don’t offer their size. Ana shares clips of her interview with plus-size bridal stylist Alysia Cole about the bridal “fat tax” — as well as her interviews with bridal designers Alexandra Grecco and Jenny Yoo about what brands can do to make every bride feel beautiful. Plus, Ana and Lauren give their advice to any bride looking for the dress of their dreams.
