What is Size 44 – British 16/18???? Piles of wedding dresses in charity shops in every town and city in Britain, but hardly that size or more than a 40/12.
I wonder why the company can’t make its own?
Much more expensive!
Sounds as if they need a lot of them. Expensive to make — all those yards of material.
Do brides that big usually go for the full white/veil/train etc.?
This smacks of regietheater…or some weird new thing. I can’t think of an opera we know with a ton of weddings in it…
Unless it’s for a musical. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?
Um, yes, actually, it is not only skinny brides who like to wear a traditional white wedding gown and veil… Plus-size women are still women, by the way…
It’s for a Regietheater production where all the knights are dressed as brides in the grail ritual, to stress their commitment to the purity of the grail.
Are they to be worn by bassos?
