Jo just cutting up a dress... 😱 Wow! That's going above and beyond to help a customer. I'm even more impressed 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 should have let Jo pick the dresses. They have a better understanding of what suits certain body types. She may have been pleasantly surprised.

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 ...🤷‍♀️

It's too bad Holly opted not to try some of the other dresses. Perhaps one of the designs could have possibly been a perfect match. I think part of her pickiness was actually based on some other image not really related to her own body type.

I feel she was being overly judgemental and critical to all the dresses that she was showed. In a way she was actually bring disrespectful to Jo and Al. The dresses she did try on looked great on her. I honestly don't know what type of dress she expected to find at the boutique.

Wow, Jo and Al went beyond and above to help her find a dress.👍 I have never seen them cut up a dress before.😱 Jeez, talk about excellent customer service.🤯 I love love Joe and Al.❣❣

Way to remain positive Jo & Al. You're much better at customer service than I would have been. The bride seemed to be in a strange headspace. Almost determined not to find "her" dress. The selections are limited obviously, but she could be a little bit more gracious.

IMO she looked fabulous in dress #2. I hope she finds her special dress.

All the dresses she is saying no to are gorgeous . I think they were her body type too. Edit: Came back to say the look on AL and Jo's faces , when she said the bling looked tacky on that dress was priceless. They did it without her noticing . LOVE THESE TWO LADIES .

That was one fussy, annoying individual. Rude, obnoxious and just ungrateful. Jo and Al patience of a saint..love you both. Australia ❤❤

Seriously, this bride didn't have a clue what she wanted. She just wasted time.

The 2nd dress looked amazing on her, before and after the lady cut up the other dress. Good luck Holly

She says her weight doesn't bother her. I respectfully disagree.

Brides who say they're "open to anything" are ALWAYS the pickiest.

She’s not happy with herself no matter what she says……if she can’t find a dress there she will never find one!

I absolutely LOVED that second dress! I don't know what she is seeing that I am not because both the first and second dress looked great on her but she didn't see it! And, the dress she DID like the most, made her look the worst! I'm not sure she is ever going to find a dress that gives her that WOW feeling. If Jo & Al don't have it, she won't find it anywhere else in England. I think she doesn't realized she is as big as she is-which is good because it does give her confidence. The problem is White makes people look bigger-it just does. Maybe she would have liked a colored dress. That second dress I thought was the bomb but it's not my wedding!

I think the image this girl has in her mind is a thinner girl. She is not going to like any dress because they cannot make her liik thin enough. The dress that Jo created was fabulous.

Real proof that at least TRYi g to articulate what you want helps everyone ❤️ Edit: She may actually be critical of the dresses as a form of defense . . . maybe?

Who wouldn't want to play dress-up with Jo and Al just to see what they put you in. I admire and respect these ladies proves that there's more to just saying yes to a dress, it's about saying yes to you! You are enough ❤❤❤

I think Holly wants a body con dress, but doesn't like how it looks on her.

When someone is that large, maybe she should go to a seamstress with a drawing or picture and get one made.

I didn’t like any of the dresses on her, unfortunately. I’d like to have seen a couple that she rejected on sight though.

Jo got pissed off and didn't enjoy the attitude that she started throwing the dresses into a pile and ruining a beautiful dress with aggressive scissors. Honestly, I can't blame 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.

Other bridal shops she’ll be lucky to find two dresses in her size, if any at all. Mentally, I think she thinks she is a size 16, not a 26 and blames the dresses.

I can only imagine how she'd be as a "partner". I "feel" at the core of her lack of being able to make a decision is she's not secure with her body. I'm curious if she did actually get married.

She should've brought in a picture of the dress she had in mind. It would've been a lot easier.

I wish they had bridal salons like this in Canada Ontario. So many plus size brides that are dreading the whole dress experience!!

Jo and Al you amaze me, you certainly did everything you could for this bride to be. I hope that she will find her dream dress

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 🤬🤬

Literally cannot believe she just cut up that dress!! 😮

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.

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.

I wish I could have seen her in the dress she did choose, whatever the boutique.😊

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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

Her problem is. She has an image about herself in her head and in the mirror she sees her real self.

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.

Body dysmorphia at the other end.

She looked amazing in that last on with the change to the back, but she don't like the way she looks and only she can change that, it a mind set

I understand what she means. I can try on something which makes me say "Yes!" If you don't get that feeling with a wedding dress, don't pick it.

That final dress looked really good on her. She should have gotten it. Maybe the fact that it was a little short was her issue or maybe they could have put on a veil and boosted her feelings about the dress.

Bride that is too annoying and unrealistic demand a miracle

If you're a fan of Derry Girls, she sounds like she's from Derry!

ahhhh I cannot believe she cut up that dress!!!! blasphemy

I suspect that Holky envisioned a different shape, not a different dress.

Those dresses looked great on her... I am a plus sized woman, so I feel like I can say this. At this size, you kind of have to lower your idea's a bit. If it fits, sometimes you have to accept good enough.

Beautiful looking bride to be, I thought the 2nd dress looked fabulous on her. Personally I would have never torn apart another dress lol , she was way too unsure for that. Hopefully she will find what she is looking for.

This bride looked lovely in all the gowns. I hope she finds the right one for her. Jo and Al are the best.

Then custom make one geez

Not loving the judgemental expressions but the second dress looked so nice on her!😭 also these two ( sorry forgot the names :’) )were SUPER professional I loved how helpful they were to the bride! Truly professionals!

I loved the 2nd dress she had on. Can't believe you cut up that other dress for her, and she still didn't like it. If I ever get married, if I had the funds I would take a vacation and come see you Lady's! Love your show!!

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.

The 2nd dress looked best on her.

You could tell Jo was mad and she should be. The dress she liked looked horrible on her. The second one was the best.

The dresses r beautiful and so r jo. And al

For someone who says she's really confident, that didn't come across what she was seeing in the mirror!

I thought she looked fabulous in the second dress.

Lovely girl! I hope she finds her perfect dress! I would have liked for her to try on the dress at 6:31, it could have been a nice shape for her especially the bottom part. The bling she didn’t like on the top part could have been modified. Good luck and have a wonderful wedding!

Love it. Way to go Monte

i loved the first dress on her

Regardless of why she doesn't like the dresses, Holly shouldn't pick one that she's not happy with. She's the one who's gonna wear it on her wedding day after all. For all those saying she should be more gracious, chill. There's nothing wrong with expressing how you feel. As far as feeling bad for Jo or Al, they're professionals and I'm sure they've dealt with a lot worse

She's so funny how she just walks off 😅

Love theses 2 fab ladies ❤

It's her opinion that counts ladies

She wants to look classic, a bit retro and not like ten pounds of sausage in a five pound bag! She wore a monochromatic jumpsuit to the appointment. That should be a clue. She wants to look mature and expensive.

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

Hi ladies , i love that dress and i hope that wen she does made up her mind ,, AL and Jo will be will to help her out

I liked #3!

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

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

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.

$12,000 for that dress?! She could have bought a spectacular dress for that!

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.

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

she can not see how it is going to look on her. She should have let jo help her. That is what she is there for.

Is she really that fussy though? She just wants to look amazing and she deserves that.

I loved Holly’s confidence right away! Over n over you hear big girls say how they hate shopping, how they haven’t worn a dress in decades. Etc. so it’s great to see her with such confidence!

This bride should have Just let Jo and 7:32 Al do what they know how to do from the beginning.

Jo is right every time again & again...the first one looked best on Holy...BUT she wanted a non existing dress 😞

4:25 this is the best look for her!

I thought that Jo was going to use the material to make a train!?! I think that would've cinched the deal. It would have made the bride feel like a "Royal"!

🎉

Gosh. I am an outlier. They really aren't used to a client who isn't grateful. I saw exactly where the bride was coming from. The material was lovely but the dress was a sack. What she would have looked fantastic in is a mermaid dress with a lovely sweetheart neckline.

She looked really pretty in the dress she liked best. Don't think she's as confident as she says.

Wheres the padded room?

Too glam to give a damn"... better if she starts taking care of her health though. She is fussy af, at the same time her outfit suits her horribly.

😮

❤🇧🇷

Muriel's Wedding 😅

Jeez😮

She started out open minded and then turned her nose up at each one. I would not have cut up a dress for her.

Does this girl not see what her figure is before trying on a dress?
