She should have let Jo pick the dresses. They have a better understanding of what suits certain body types. She may have been pleasantly surprised.

To be fair, a wedding dress is a big deal and a lot of money to spend. I don't think most brides come in knowing exactly what they want (even if they think they do) because they've never had a wedding dress on their bodies before. There's no shame in going home to think about it, or visiting a different salon to see if they have any different options.

@karenstasik2979

Agree she was disrespectful. I'm pretty annoyed right now

I don't think Holly has a realistic body image. It's great to be confident but one also has to be realistic. Holly says she loves her entire body but continually finds fault with the lower part of every dress. I don't think she's really at ease with her hips and belly. Just like millions of other women!

She just cut up a dress for no reason… damn that’s going above and beyond. I think the bride is not happy with herself and has nothing to do w the dress

Im obese myself, and the thing is this ...as you get bigger you lose your 'shape' (i guess you can call it..) so with something LIKE a wedding dress you tend to look for a dress that gives the illusion of shape ...something that flatters or draws the eye to features ...Holly might have confidence but she actually lacks acceptance of her body as it is...which was clearly evident by what she chose as suiting her ...🤷‍♀️

The bride had a confident attitude alright but her body is her body and all those dresses just showed what was there. The dress she couldn't commit too is her dress, I hope she realizes that.

I kind of think she's not as confident as she says she is. The dress she liked so much didn't look like a wedding dress, it looked like a dress that you might wear to church on Easter or a date night. The second dress was the only one that really looked good on her, and I think the fact that it made her stand out and the center of attention was actually what turned her off from it. It was the only one that she indicated that it made her feel fat, when in fact it's the one that complemented her shape the best. There's some sort of mental or emotional baggage, if she chooses things based on what she's been told doesn't go well on fat people (i.e. the bright colors and other things she mentioned).

Holly needs to have a dress designed for her specific wants and needs then she'll have "the feeling". Kudos to Al and Jo for their sheer determination in givng this bride to be a good experience on wedding dress shopping.

It is just part of the show. It's a show.

She should have tried on other dresses that she dismissed out of hand. How many times have we seen a bride know exactly what she wants, but she is persuaded to try on a different style and she falls in love with it? I think this had the potential to be one of those times. I was absolutely mortified when Jo took the scissors to that dress, but I trust she knows what she's doing. I think the dress with the drape on the back was lovely and was the only dress she tried on that didn't look like she was stuffed into a sausage casing.

If I were them I would've just been glad to get her out of my shop!! She just strikes me as the type who's never satisfied with anything and pretty much proved that here when they cut up and ruined a whole dress just to try to please her and she still didn't like it!! I can't handle ppl like that 🤬🤬

I wonder if brides who need a dress to give them a wow moment have perhaps been sold this idea by tv programs. I do think that you should feel like you are comfortable, look your best, and that it makes you smile when you think about it. Something else that I learned is to have a picture taken because we look different in pictures than in mirrors. 😊 I made my dress and used a pattern that I had made before, fit well, looked good on me. And suited my taste and budget.

Great comment

I loved that last dress! I want it and I've been married for 48 years.

I really wish she could have come in with a more open mind. Dress shopping is overwhelming as you just don’t wear that type of dress everyday- so your usual experience of clothes has to go out the window. I also had the feeling that she is confident because she doesn’t look at her body in a full length mirror like that very often. I think she felt quite exposed and it rocked her confidence in herself. I was watching it thinking she looked lovely in all the dresses because I could see her body properly when she walked in- I get the feeling that she was a little shocked by it. I hope she managed to find her perfect dress!

I was taught if you have nothing nice to say!!!! Say nothing 🤐 And this Is a 1st for this show for me to zip it!!!

I think this bride wants to weigh a bit less so that her dress will fulfill her vision. I completely relate.

This is all an act for this bride. She's not actually happy with herself and therefore, she doesn't like the way she looks in any of the dresses. I hope she found something she loved.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

The more I look and listen to Holly, the more I like her. :) She is obviously very direct and confident and with (still vague) vision of how her dream dress should look like, as well as what she doesn't want in a dress. She is not rude nor offensive. Just direct and very straight forward. People, even us with the similar weight issues, tend to be much more forgiving and empathetic when we see someone who is lacking confidence. We tend to be much harsher towards people that doesn't seek our approval - there are very harsh comments here, some of us took Holly's self confidence and decisive attitude way too personally. I wonder why? Why people tend to expect certain behavior pattern from others and if it doesn't match their expectations, they might get triggered. Why we root for plus size brides who are battered and brought down and we are trying to do the same to one who isn't? Is that what's expected from plus size people - to 'know their place' and to behave accordingly'? Should only slim women be confident and have prerogative to like themselves? Holly has good intuition - she might want to explore the world of vintage, 1920s dresses, also known as Gatsby or Flapper style. She doesn't like bling, but vintage Art Deco sequins and beading are the classiest version of it in history of fashion, IMHO. And regardless how strange it might sound, that style of a dress - sheet with geometric beading that creates illusion of desired shape in upper body, with drop waist, or layered top with slight fit and flare skirt (just around her knees) might give her shape and classy drama she seeks and will suit lovely. Even her face and lovely hair would suit that period hair style and hair piece.

Love that Holly is confident and that no changing room therapy was needed, for a change. However, she needs to find the right silhouette for her. Details are easy to tweak, right cut is crucial. Ample apple shape, or body shape with weight carried in middle section is the most difficult to dress, so that clothes looks flattering . Holly is young person who doesn't have taste for corseted tops and wants column style/sheet look, of free flowing gown that will flatter her. Since she would require support and structure underneath lace or any top fabric, it would be the best for her to opt for bespoke dress. Something that will have excellent structured low corset, down to her hips, with lighter, flowy, but well executed over dress to fit her upper body and than to softly flare from above knees. That's how she'll get well fitted gown without corseted look. Straight flow of the skirt is not very flattering, she needs some flare to balance her upper body and the narrowest part of her figure visible - if that is not achievable by empire waist , than fit and flare around knees might do the trick.

Mostly agree - just not sure with a mature part. Jump suit gives her two things that she needs, regarding her height and body shape: continuous, uninterrupted vertical line (that takes care of her central part where she has the most width) and revealed the most narrow part of her body (her legs) diverting attention from the central zone and giving her shape. The silhouette of the dress needs to match her body lines. She needs soft fit and flare at the bottom that would emphasize the shape of her legs as the narrowest part of her body, balancing her upper part.

I would luv to know which dress she chose in the end

I know what it’s like being a fat woman shopping for a dress.There isn’t a dress in the world that will turn you into a swan .some aspect or other of your body will prevent you from loving the dress. Confidence not withstanding, throw out the hope of achieving the tear provoking perfection you’re looking for ,and settle for the satisfaction of looking really nice in a lovely dress.Where did the over the top reaction idea come from for heavens sake? Now everybody talks about ‘that feeling’ . Good grief it’s a dress ,not winning the lottery or winning Olympic Gold ! Ridiculous. Bridal shops invented ‘that feeling’ to force you into trying on increasingly pricy dresses . The brides are probably crying from complete confusion and shock at how they somehow ended up many thousands over budget.That woman looked marvellous in the dress she liked. I’m astonished she was so particular when we big lumps are generally elated when we can find a dress that actually fastens and allows us to breathe.

Someone with her figure should have a dress MADE for her, a long sleeveless dress without a defined waist under a light open top, no buttons, cut like a shawl so the sleeves aren't defined, slightly scooped neckline on the dress, no veil, just flowers in her hair. She is very pretty.

It's her opinion that counts ladies

she wants a dress that makes her look thin, well she is not, and she looked as good as she possibly could, lovely even 😕

Holly you're an inspiration for all of us bigger beautiful women. Love it ❤❤❤

This is why, historically, women always had the dress made for their wedding

I thought she looked fabulous in the second dress.

Considering what she wore to the appt. her choice of dress style was not surprising. I thought he second dress was very flattering. I admire her confidence, but I also think she truly sees only what she wants to see rather than what actually is. She likes a certain silhouette and doesn't see or doesn't care what it actually looks like on. For example, the outfit she wore to the appt: she seems to like the one-piece look with a skinny belt about the middle. The one piece is doable, but the skinny belt doesn't really work. In short, she likes a certain look and doesn't seem to care if it fits her body type or looks good on her. But as long as she is happy more power to her and I hope she finds that special dress and has a lovely wedding. She is a refreshing change from most of their brides who seem to hate the way they look but aren't able or willing to do something about it. I think they are beautiful, but they don't seem to think so yet don't do anything about it. I find this both sad and frustrating because I hate seeing people suffering in this much pain. Thank heavens for these two who help these brides see how truly beautiful they really are.
