Move Over Debenhams, We've Always Had A Size 16!

It has recently been in the news that Debenhams have decided to start using size 16 mannequins, as if this something completely original that no one else has ever tried. They might be right about being one of the first high street stores to do so, but here at Especially For You, we didn't give this a second thought.

"Why's this?" I hear you ask. Probably because we've had our size 16 dummy in the window for years, we didn't see anything unusual about Debenhams and their brand new publicity.
It has often been the assumption of many that any time you visit a bridal store, all the dresses available to try on will be sample size dresses in a size ten, and at some bridal boutiques, we're sure this is the case. Not at Especially For You.

We know that not everyone is a stick thin model who needs to eat more pies, and we also know that different dresses are perfect for different body shapes. Why would we stock a size 6 in a dress that looks best on an hourglass figure? We try to have dresses in the sizes that we think they would look best in,  but of course that doesn't mean to say that we don't stock small sizes, because we do. It's just that we stock a whole range of sizes, because it's hard to imagine what your wedding dress will look like if the one you're trying on is three sizes too small. We are only a small shop though, so this means that we can only stock one size in each dress. If a dress isn't a perfect fit, we can use our expertise to help fit the dress around you, so you can visualise how, once ordered in your size, the dress would suit you.

 At the moment, the smallest size we have is UK size 6/8, and the largest is currently a size 28. However, we can easily order up to a size 32 in any of the 60 or more dresses we currently have in stock to reorder. Here are some dresses we have in stock, all in different sizes.
