What can I say about this AMAZING Bridal Shop! From the moment I reached out online to book my private VIP appt and then receiving a phone call from the shop in such a prompt and timely manner was just the start of such a Wonderful experience. Everyone and I mean everyone at the Curvy Bride are so Amazing. They're aren't enough words to explain how special the staff made me feel when it came to picking out my wedding gown, the appts during each fitting and leading up to my wedding day. The Curvy Bride is the place to go and I promise you that you won't regret it. I can now call them FAMILY, because that's how special each and everyone of them are.

As a plus size woman who is getting married, I was so anxious about whether or not I would find a dress that was right for me for my big day. When I saw the curvy bride in my boutique searches, I knew I had to book an appointment. I scheduled a VIP appointment which was $100 and I had the largest fitting room with one on one help, and was greeted with snacks and champagne. The store has tons of samples and all of the dresses are size 16+ so you can really fit into any of the options. My bridal assistant, MaryAnn made me feel so comfortable and really took the time to understand my needs as a destination wedding bride. We pulled a variety of dresses and she helped me to narrow down my choices as we tried dresses on by pointing out areas where the dress highlighted features of my body, or didn't serve my needs for the event that I was hosting. After an hour, I said yes to the dress at The Curvy Bride and I've honestly never felt more beautiful. Thanks to the team here, you really know how to make us brides feel special!!

I can't explain to you the joy this store brought to my heart. From the second I walked in I felt valued and beautiful. We worked with P and she was perfect. She pulled dresses for me,gave honest feedback and was Incredibly kind.. she totally let me lead the appointment I didn't feel as if she was over selling anything or rushing me. The location is beautiful and the dressing rooms give you enough space to really appreciate your dress.. and to top it all off my dress was in budget!! Under 1k. YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE.

Omg ! Is all I can say ! I went to the curvy bride after searching google for a plus size bridal store although the curvy bride was about 45-50 min drive for me I can say with all the happiness in the world it was worth it ! I went there just to look at different gowns not really thinking I would find my dress but I am happy to say I said yes to the dress at curvy bride and it was the best decision I made ! October 27,2013 was the day of my appointment and with me I had my Mom Dad Mother in law one of my bridesmaids my Matron of honor and Maid of honor along with my 5 nieces and nephews , and the room was big enough to have everyone sit comfortably which was great because to me everyone who was with me that day was the most IMPORTANT in my dress shopping experience ! I loved the private appointment feeling which is what made me extremely happy . Michelle and her staff were amazing and I would definitely recommend THE CURVY BRIDE to all plus size brides ! Again thank you MICHELLE AND STAFF

Amazing. Michelle, the owner of The Curvy Bride made my dress buying experience stress free and fun! I would absolutely recommend The Curvy Bride to anyone- not just plus size brides. I couldn't imagine buying my Wedding Dress anywhere else. Being a plus size bride, I was incredibly anxious about trying on dresses. I found The Curvy Bride on The Knot and decided to go make an appointment to go by myself (before bringing Bridesmaids and an entourage) so that I could get an idea of what I liked and felt comfortable in. Michelle was able to get me in on New Years Eve; the owner giving me a private appointment at 5pm on a Holiday was my first indicator that this was going to be a fantastic business to work with. During my appointment, Michelle encouraged me to try on as many dresses as I wanted. I never felt rushed and I got Michelle's undivided attention and honest opinions. She even helped me by taking photos and FaceTime-ing my mom who lives in Florida. At my 2nd appointment (this time with my Bridesmaids and fiancé's Mom), I tried on several dresses for my group, knowing which dress I was leaning towards. Michelle was so accommodating and let me try on any dress that my group & I picked out. I ended up ordering the Allure W314, the first dress I ever tried on. Michelle even brought us champagne to celebrate. I also brought my mom to the Curvy Bride when she was visiting from Florida. My mom bought a stunning Mary's Bridal MOTB dress. During my moms appointment, Michelle even let me try on the sample of my dress so that my mom could see my wedding dress in person. I'm so happy I that I found The Curvy Bride!

Great selection of dresses that is conscious that not every bride is a size 6. The staff is amazing! My consultant Maria was kind and listened to what I wanted and was looking for! She even had fun with my Entourage which included my Fiancé!!! Michelle the owner was what I expected, she gets it! They get it! Beautiful little shop..

Gina is amazing and I give her 5 stars alone. Like most brides who got married in the craziness of…read moreCOVID, I had a challenging request having alterations done in a less than 2 month window of time due to having to move our wedding date. Most places wouldn't have been able to do that, but Zatsarina's really came through. My first fitting was on August 24th with a second scheduled for September 18th and finally a pickup for October 4th. Gina was so efficient and diligent explaining what needed to be done (take in the shoulder straps, hem, bustle, etc). My first visit was thorough and she explained everything perfectly. All of the alterations would come to $800 (as I had bought off the rack at another boutique). When I came in for my fitting everything was looking great and only a few minor tweaks needed to be made. All in all, a great experience. There was a bit of a hiccup at the end when it wasn't fully ready for my pickup and still needed to be steamed. They made it work and were able to finish it while I waited. I didn't entirely like dealing with her husband but Gina was EXCEPTIONAL. She suggested a video on how to bustle which was super helpful for later. As I mentioned, I had a difficult request with such a quick turnaround time, but I'm so grateful for how everything turned out and how Gina was willing to help and deliver such high quality service.

Gina and her husband are the best! After being sold a non-existent dress by a local bridal store (I…read moredid review them here), I needed a trustworthy seamstress to bring my vision to life. From the moment you walk into Zatsarina, you're met with kindness and professionalism. The inside is sleek and showcases all of Gina's talents. For my personal tailoring, in terms of a unique situation, I needed sleeves from a jacket placed on a spaghetti strap dress. Then, I needed a bustle added to my dress, tulle taken out of the bottom layers, and a slit added. The fabric of my jacket sleeves were very delicate (covered in beads); and I needed someone who I could fully trust. She delivered. She even hand placed matching beads in spots that were naturally not as crowded, to match the rest of the jacket. Additionally, she hemmed the sleeves of the jacket, so they were perfect. For my bustle, I wanted something that did not create a large bump around my butt, and the way she made the bustle was perfect and almost invisible. (My train was LONG, when bustled, you could not tell there were 14 buttons to make this possible.) It was so easy to connect everything- she showed my MOH a video how to do so too and even encouraged her to record it, which was super helpful dua of. my sister (MOH) was able to do it within a few minutes. Gina's work is perfection. She met with me multiple times to make sure everything was perfect and even provided directions on how to steam the day off. Also, Gina makes custom wedding dresses! Pros: attention to detail & skill Overall, my dress fit perfectly & everything held up. I would highly recommend zatsarina fashion, specifically gina for your most important tailorings. With her attention to detail and skill, you cannot go wrong!

Oh lord please save your money and go somewhere else. I went with a friend to try on dresses, as…read morethis is where the bride wanted us to go. Our appointment was double booked so the stylist was running back-and-forth between us and other appointments. She was very friendly but it's not the type of experience I was expecting. We tried on dresses that weren't in the bride's approved collection. They don't have a lot of sample sizes for curvy women so we couldn't really gauge sizing. The sample size dresses are all stretched out and ruined so even the sample dresses aren't accurate. And the stylist measured me, but when my dress came in, was outrageously larger than it should've been if she measured it to any of my specifications. And it's not like one portion of the dress actually fit me, the whole thing was too big. I wanted to size down, but she kept pushing me to size up and I couldn't try on the real size of the dress because they didn't have that in store. Overall, this is not unexperienced. I would recommend to anyone. Highly advised, going elsewhere and using a different company.

Okay, idk why people are bashing this place so much. I just went here yesterday to choose a dress,…read moreand had a very pleasant experience. The bride for me, lives in MA and told us the designer, color and material we had to get.. but with whatever dress we felt comfortable in. I looked around and around, and Bella bridesmaid was the only shop I found that carries that designer, so I made a single dress appointment. I was a little afraid going into this appointment, because I am a bigger/tall girl, so I was afraid that they wouldn't have any sample dresses that would actually fit me. Man, I was wrong! They had a wide variety of larger sizes, let alone a nice selection I had to choose from! I ultimately went with the dress below that I attached a pic to, but ordered it in terracotta. The sample size I was in was tight (I could have ordered that size but just lost 10-15 pounds to feel more comfortable... but I didn't want that pressure) so to be on the safe side, I went up a size and will just get it altered to my body type. For people that are new to the bridal world, bridal dresses AS WELL AS bridesmaid dresses run totally different in sizes... they usually run really really small. So don't be alarmed if you are, for example, a 16 normal size but you have to get a dress that's a 20, or possibly even bigger. It is normal! As far as price, it was reasonable! No sales tax, so that's a plus! If you need a dress, I highly recommend this shop... so make an appointment! And just remember, the lead time is like 3-4 months, so make sure you order plenty of time ahead!!

This location wasn't busy at all the day I went in November so I'd like to hope they wouldn't turn away customers who wanted to try on some dresses if they didn't have an appt. While they make you complete a style questionnaire ahead of time, no where on the form does it allow you to input the specific style numbers of the dresses you want to try on. I called and gave the consultant a bunch of the style #s ahead of time so it could be in my appt record and brought a print out with more to maximize my hour in the store. The associate helping me was very helpful and patient, and not pushy at all. I enjoyed working with her much more than the associates I worked with at the Paramus location. The Paramus location was much more lively on a Saturday vs. the Freehold location. I didn't end up buying a dress that day however I had a good idea of which styles I did not like and a good sense of my sizing in the DB studio brand. DB does have a good amount of affordable dresses. The actual store is a bit dated looking, on the inside and outside, but the staff were friendly there.

Mark was very professional and personable constantly cracking jokes and keeping the atmosphere light. We were fitted one by one pretty quickly. He ended up giving the group a nice discount when the groom answered a question about the bride as a game. When returning months later to pick up my tux for the big day Mark didn't miss a beat. I could have honestly just took the suit off the hanger and kept it moving. Everything fit perfectly! There was not a thread out of place and the tux's were ready for pickup about a week from the event to make it even more convenient. I was a groomsman once before and they used Men's Warehouse. My pants looked like capris over there. We had so many issues when the big day got there they ended up giving everyone a huge refund. Night and day experience. I'm getting married myself soon and I know where I'm going for sure. A bit pricier than your chains but well worth the extra money for the time and effort he puts in. Good job Mark!
