My Big Fat Wedding

An observational documentary following a very special bridal shop in the north of England which caters for plus size brides who, like their skinnier counterparts, want to feel like a princess on their big day. But owners of this specialist bridal boutique, lifelong friends Paula and Lucy, appreciate that brides-to-be come in all shapes and sizes. With off the peg dresses ranging from size 20 to 38 and bespoke dresses getting as large as size 54, no bride is turned away for being too buxom. The shop’s clientele have often suffered humiliating experiences in the past and some have delayed or even called off their big day because of their dress jitters.
