IMAGINE A BEAUTIFUL PLUS SIZE BRIDE...
Walks into your store... She has a group of family & friends with her.
You remember making this appointment over the phone and hearing the
genuine excitement in her voice. You said she could trust you with finding her perfect dress.
She is between a size 26 and 30. Can your store serve her?

1. THE TRUTH
Higher Closed-Sale Ratio
Speaking in business terms, You can feel confident that your business is flourishing when you have a collection of dresses this bride can try on in her size. Here's why-
Full-figured brides know that a True Plus Size selection is a rare find. So once you slip her into a stunning dress that flatters her curves, she is much more likely to say "Yes" during her first appointment. Regular sized bridal stores have more competition and therefore have a lower closed-sale ratio.
When a full-figured bride is able to try dresses on in store, you have made her happy as well as her friends & family. They will gladly tell their entire social circles how comfortable you made her feel and being the unique store that had
a collection specially designed for her.
These positive reviews spread to the entire plus size community in your area and you soon become the leading store for brides of ANY size.
Naturally, this is how your business will start to grow after you begin to carry
a True Plus Size collection!

*Only the Glamour Plus & Indie Glam Plus collections
size up to 44 US.*
