Curvy Brides resembles the rest of TLC's wedding-themed programming, like the popular Say Yes to the Dress, but focuses brides sized 12-44 that have more trouble finding dresses that fit and flatter their bodies. Brides profiled on the show often cannot find gowns in their size in traditional stores and discuss being treated rudely and discouraged from shopping at other bridal salons.[2][3]
