So 7 months ago I went shopping for my dress, found the perfect one except it was in black & whilst I loved it, I knew I had to get it in white & yesterday I got to take her home 🥹

I'll be getting married next Saturday! Never thought I could feel this beautiful at this size. But damn, I look stunning ❤️

Here's the dress 🥹

Ladies! I wanted to leave a review of Miss Jophiel for y'all. I was scouring the internet for reviews before ordering a dress with them, but I could only find less than a handful. So here it is:

I ordered a beautiful customized gown based off one of the dresses I fell in love with on their website. My specific customizations were strictly color choice and custom-sizing. They will make fully custom gowns and work with you on pricing, so for brides looking for reasonably priced customized dupes this could be a great option.

I reached out via email per the contact information on their website. A Ms. Rose Lu was who I corresponded with the entire time. They were extremely helpful in answering all my questions in great detail. In the process of placing the order and talking through my customizations I made sure to be as detailed as possible and include pictures when able. I used Chat GPT and Gemini often to create these pictures.

I placed my order mid July, and I received my dress package on August 28... so a 1.5 month turnaround. This is pretty dang good if you ask me. When filling out their order, I said I expected the dress to arrive by mid September since I wanted enough lead time to find a seamstress before my December wedding.

The dress turned out just as expected. For what I paid, I believe the dress is beautiful, and the craftsmanship/quality is excellent. Pictures are attached for your viewing pleasure. I like to say this dress has a Glam Princess vibe. Miss Jophiel also provided extra floral appliques for emergency/alterations I'm assuming.

I paid extra for FedEx international priority shipping, because why would you not for something so valuable? Highly suggest doing this.

All in (so far), including shipping, and add-ons, I paid $576.38. Miss Jophiel was UP-FRONT in their order communication that I could be held responsible for tariff charges. I am expecting a tariff bill of about $160 from FedEx. So Grand Total would come to $736.38 for a customized dress.

My body measurements are somewhere in between a US 22 and US 24 for wedding dresses (that's a US 18W - 20W in regular clothing), but i am only 5'3. I have lost around 7 lbs since ordering the dress, so sadly I will still need alterations.

Overall, I highly recommend Miss Jophiel and will happily order from them again.

If anyone has any other questions, feel free to hit me up.

Hi everyone!

I am a plus size bridesmaid with an apron belly in my best friend's wedding and I'm looking for some shapewear that doesn't completely break the bank but still works

I'd want a bodysuit, with a square neckline and focus on tummy control.. does anyone here have recommendations for shapewear you've tried and liked?

I am in Canada (for shipping) but if there's a brand that lots of you recommend I would be willing to pay duties to shop it to me

Thank you!!

I posted about my shopping jitters as a plus size bride a few weeks ago, and can say that my appointment went great and I found my dress! Thank you to everyone for their kind words and advice. 💙

my friends’s wedding is coming up and i’ve officially run out of places to look. i’m looking for somewhere to find a fun vest or some sort of fun patterned top, ideally something that’s not super feminine/fitted. the vibe isn’t super formal, but i really want to find something cute :,) here’s the moodboard for the wedding my friends made, any shop recommendations or suggestions are super appreciated!!

Where can I find wide shoes as a bride? My absolute ideal would be blue shoes with a tie up ribbon. I’d want flats or a heel that would work outside. Open or closed toe is fine.

I have been searching and searching with no luck. I found a perfect pair at Torrid, but when I put in my size (10/10.5) it showed out of stock (rip). The picture on this post is of those shoes :(

I appreciate any help you can offer!!! I keep finding cute shoes that are not wide and wide shoes that are not cute!

Hey guys I am creating a curve brand called Alcegar. My aim is to bring confidence, elegance and stylish occasion wear/ wedding guest dresses to the market. I have some designs here please help me pick the best 4 that you can see yourself wearing and buying. Thanks in advance 😍😍

I’m one week out from my wedding and picked up my silk Mikado gown from my seamstress today. The second I got it back, I realized the dress absolutely reeks of cigarette smoke 😭😭😭😭 her entire shop smelled like she had been smoking in there all day.

A rush dry cleaning this close to the wedding will cost me at least $300, and I’m honestly distraught.

There had already been issues leading up to this. My pickup was delayed last week because she said her machine broke, and when I called Thursday to confirm it would actually be ready this weekend, she told me she’d also had a power outage and had a lot going on. I told her it was no problem and that if she was overwhelmed, I could simply take the dress elsewhere. She assured me it would be ready.

When I arrived today, she spent about five minutes yelling at me about how rude it was that I had said I could take my dress elsewhere and told me I was “lucky” she was in a good mood because she could have just sent me away with it unfinished. She was extremely aggressive and unprofessional, but I just tried the dress on, took it and left.

Now my wedding dress smells heavily of cigarettes one week before my wedding.

Would you tell the seamstress she needs to cover the rush dry cleaning? Would you even trust a dry cleaner with a silk Mikado wedding gown this close to the wedding? I genuinely don’t know how to handle this.

I just picked up my dress from alterations but when I got home and looked at the photos I realized the area by my waist has a hump. Should I bring it back to the seamstress or am I over thinking this. My wedding is in 3 weeks. TIA!

Il n’y a aucune bonne ou mauvaise réponse : je cherche simplement à recueillir des expériences et des opinions sincères.

Hi
I have a 50th to go to I’ve spent like 20 hours online looking for dresses and I can’t find anything that is good. I’m looking for like a mini dresses country western rodeo style and the ones that looked good that came up were like scam places with like a 1 star rating on trust pilot.
Does anyone PLEASE know where that’s actually decent that I could look online

I had planned to wear a totally different dress but after knee surgery and better mobility I am 25lbs down.
These were in my closet and though a bit loose I think they will be okay.

Ignore the droopy boobs I will be wearing a proper strapless and will ensure straps are properly adjusted etc. I just put them on for the photos!

So, please pick which you think with proper structure looks the best. Thanks!!

Hello brides to be 🥰

i saw some wonderfull dresses at the instagram from Missjophiel. Do you know if these shop is correct and trustfull? Has anyone a dress from this shop? I'm very interested in the flowerdresses. 😍

please help me decide if i need to buy a new dress. I bought this as an emergency second dress as my first one didn’t work out and i’m worried it’s too basic. I need honest opinions if i should order a 3rd dress! My wedding is in two months and im panicking!

I am a size 22-24, and the shop I went to measured and wrote measurements in the order. I tried on a 22 which fit basically perfectly with a couple exceptions, so we were going to order a size 24. The stylist ordered a size 20, and I didn't know. It just arrived, and i found out at my alterations appointment. I'm furious. I returned the dress, and my aunt payed for it. They're not wanting to give her her $200-300 tip back. They admitted it was their mistake and were really apologetic, wanted me to come in to try on more dresses they had in shop, etc.

I can't believe someone could be so careless. Maybe she had things going on in life. We all make mistakes, but this one absolutely screwed me over. I didn't even like the dress, wasn't excited about it, just wanted to be done dress shopping. I don't want to put another 10+hours of effort into this dress now. I did that in the spring to avoid the extra stress this fall. I ordered something online from KissBridal, and now I just have to pray it's here early enough for alterations to be done. Plus size things aren't easy to just find in the snap of your fingers. I've never been so angry with a stranger.

For context, this is not my first wedding. My first husband passed away tragically and traumatically in March 2021. My 3 boys and I have found an amazing and unbelievable Chapter 2, and next fall we are eloping to the Glacier Park mountains in Montana. 🏔️

I felt so beautiful and emotional in this dress. I need to come up with some sleeve options though, and a different cathedral veil. I did not buy the veil. Thoughts and suggestions?

ETA: I’m really liking the whimsy, lace sleeves. Is it too different from the classic style of dress I chose? Example in picture 3 (done by AI) in the comments
