Plus size brides beware! So, I ve debated and put off writing this review (and it s been a while, but I m pretty sure I haven t written it yet), but it still makes me upset when I think about it these three years later, so I m just going to do it. Most of the staff at CC s Bridal were great and the seamstress was really nice and helpful. One woman, however, was very unpleasant. I did get the feeling that I was out of the ordinary for them as a plus size bride, but it could ve been mostly in my head. My consultant L , however, seemed to go out of her way to make me feel uncomfortable and fat. She made covert snide remarks, half-assed my appointment a little and when I ended up falling in love with a dress in spite of all of this talked about my body as if she were embarrassed for me. Later, when I arrived for a fitting, I saw another bride with her group of bridesmaids that had just purchased her dress. She and her group also happened to be plus sized, which honestly lifted my spirits a little because I had proof that I wasn t the only plus sized bride that had ever shopped there (which I had started to suspect based on some of the behavior). As I sat across the room from this bride, I watched as that same consultant thanked her and every other member of her bridal party and then, just looking at me (and having seen me several times before for fittings and whatnot), assumed I was part of her bridal party and began to thank me. When I corrected her quietly and politely, she replied (and I quote), Oh, sorry...you all look the same to me. I hate to admit it, but that made me really sad. She wasn t the only one to make me feel this way, but she was the most blatant. This was before the phrase fat shaming had entered the general lexicon, so I didn t have a way to describe it to people, but it s definitely an accurate description of the treatment that I received from some of the staff there.
