"Absolutely wonderful experience at Celebrating Curves Bridal. Beautiful range of dresses and the most welcoming host. Jane made my party and I feel so welcome, it was like greeting an old friend. Nothing was too much for her, any dress or accessory. I never thought I would have a great experience shopping for my wedding dress, being a bigger size. But having had many friends and family get married, I've had the best experience of them all. It is just like the movies portray with Jane, she has created the absolute bridal experience. Thank you Jane for everything Xxx"

"To the girl who dreads looking in the mirror. To the bride who doesn't feel like they can get excited about dress shopping. To the girl who panics about finding a dress that fits. I can relate. I am you. I can't guarantee your wedding day will be perfect but if you go to Celebrating Curves Bridal I can guarantee your dressing shopping experience will be. Jane is simply wonderful. From getting you in the dress to offering solutions to problems that don't even exist yet, she was amazing. From the moment you walk through the door Jane just puts you at ease, the relaxed atmosphere and the beautiful store is just a dream. I would happily recommend her to anyone of any size but especially for ladies that need that reminder that a dress size is just a number, and you can look beautiful whatever your size. Thank you, Jane, buying the dress was only part of the experience, you were the cherry on top."

"After an appalling try on in another shop, my mum found Celebrating Curves Bridal online. The shop is so clean, tidy and has all the dresses you could imagine, and although is more marketed towards plus size, I feel all the brides need Jane for their wedding dress shop experience. I already went dress shopping before to get a feel of what I wanted, but OMG I felt so gorgeous in all the dresses! The fitting room is huge! So much space I didn't break a sweat even though I had my mask on through it, she listened to what I had to say, guided us and was really honest on what to expect, how things would fit, especially with me insisting on a mermaid or fit and flare. It is soo important to have someone like her, to fit the dress around you, to corset, pin and hold sleeves in its place, it does make a whole world of difference. I wish I could afford another gown, I want to do it all over again. Thank you, Jane"

"Jane is the most bubbly fantastic lady ever. She made me feel so welcome and even with all the covid restrictions she made us feel at home. Thank you so much, Jane."

"Today Jane helped me to pick my perfect wedding dress. From the moment I walked in the door she made me at home and completely at ease. To say she has only been doing this a year is almost unbelievable; from her professionalism, expertise and warmth I would've thought she had been doing this her whole life. To be honest I was really nervous about today, but she made the experience a truly joyful one. She knew just what to say and suggest and she is such a lovely person - you don't mind getting down to your knickers in front of her after only knowing her 5 minutes haha! Glowing reviews from my Mum and two bridesmaids as well as she made the day really fun and inclusive for them by encouraging them to have fun with the veils, bringing them cakes and prosecco too. From head to toe, thank you so much for today - it was perfect and much more than I could have ever hoped! Would recommend this lady and her beautiful dresses to anyone."
- Emma Hall

★★★★★
"Cannot begin to tell you what a brilliant experience it was working with Jane to find my dress!
The shop is welcoming and really lovely (felt very Covid safe when I went to pick my dress up too) and the dresses in stock are overwhelmingly beautiful. One thing I noticed, compared to the other plus size bridal shop I visited, is that the designers that Jane chooses actually seem to put effort into their plus-size dresses. Not an undersized arm-hole in sight!
Jane herself is super supportive and always has time to offer advice. She even recommended an incredible seamstress for my alterations and adding sleeves. Couldn't recommend Celebrating Curves more!"
- Amy Le Sueur

★★★★★
"This bridal shop is a hidden treasure. Jane is an amazing lady who knows her stuff regarding wedding dresses and makes you feel at ease. I never thought that I would find the perfect one, but I did, so a massive thank you to Jane.
Keep on doing what you do. x"

"Amazing experience through and through. Jane made me feel so at ease and made me feel like I had the wedding dress experience every girl should have! I can not thank you enough. I was made to feel so at ease and my confidence was sky high upon leaving.
Amazing day!"
- Chloe Marples

★★★★★
"I had almost made peace with myself that I would never have 'that moment' when picking a dress. But when I arrived at Celebrating Curves Bridal Jane made me feel so at ease. It was a little slice of heaven, where there were beautiful dresses, and I could try on every single one if I wanted to. She was so lovely and built up my confidence whilst helping me to select a dress which I absolutely loved.
Jane was also a superhero on our wedding eve, I blew a tyre on the M1, and Jane stayed open late to make sure I got my dress. I cannot sing her praises enough."
- Alison Bell

★★★★★
"Never thought I'd be buying a wedding dress today. Had the best experience ever today. Loved every minute of it, I was very nervous at first and did not feel comfortable at all. But after 5 minutes of being there I felt amazing. Found the dress for me, and Jane picked it after the ones I chose were just not right for me. So happy and so amazed at how good it all went. 100% will be recommending. Thank you so much xxx"

"I had my first appointment with Jane this afternoon. What a lovely experience from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble & she really listens to your concerns and wishes. It is so refreshing to deal with someone who knows what it’s like to be a curvier woman & not to feel judged.
All in all, I fully enjoyed my time at Celebrating Curves and recommend it to anyone!"
- Clare Vickers

★★★★★
"The first and only place I visited for my dress. Jane is so lovely and charismatic that I quickly got over any nerves and managed to find my perfect dress. The only one Jane picked and it was always mine. Can't wait to come back to pick up my dress."
- Gemma Megson

★★★★★
"Best bridal shop ever. Lovely, supportive atmosphere, let me try on loads of dresses, listened to my worries, advised, is rushing my order even though my wedding is only 8 weeks away, and best of all, after I spent all weekend panicking that I'd chosen the wrong dress, Jane opened up late to let me come and retry my dress on to reassure my crazy brain that I'd made the right decision! Don't go anywhere else for your dress!!"
- Brina Jayne Halton

★★★★★
"I saw Jane a few weeks ago and was blown away but her! She is so welcoming, funny and friendly and really puts you at ease. Her selection of dresses are gorgeous and she really takes the time to understand what you do and don’t like, even making her own suggestions. I would highly recommend this you visit this shop."
- Stevie Edwards

★★★★★
"I said YES to the DRESS today at Celebrating Curves Bridal and what a lovely experience I had. Jane is absolutely lovely and has such a beautiful shop, it's girly and pretty and just wonderful.
I'd had a couple of negative experiences whilst shopping for my wedding dress, the "normal size" shops just don't stock normal sizes, I'm size 18 and though we'll that not very big, I'll have no trouble but how wrong I was, I had tried 2 dresses on in 1 shop as that's all they had over a size 14 and even went to 1 appt and left without trying any as nothing in my size, it's quite upsetting and very disheartening.
Then I booked an appt with Jane, when we entered the shop, a sea of beautiful, trendy, pretty, sparkly dresses lined the walls, it was so nice looking at so many gorgeous dresses, knowing I could have my pick. Jane was so professional yet so friendly and totally knew what she was talking about. I tried on several dresses, one of which was the dress of my dreams and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Jane x"

"My first proper dress experience so i went just to get ideas. Never thought I'd actually find 'THE ONE' as soon as I stepped through the door. Jane - Amazing, welcoming, patient. She told me to go home an think about it rather than make a rash decision. (Not many people do that) I said ‘YES’ anyway and Jane even let me keep the dress there so I could bring my mum, auntie and mother-in-law to-be to the shop for the same experience. Been back down again today and Jane WASN'T being pushy and made everyone feel welcome again. Had a few laughs. Everyone complimented on how nice Jane was and the shop is lovely. Looking forward to going back for the flower girl dresses. Xxx"

"Jane is amazing, knows exactly what a bride wants even when the bride doesn't (this was me), if I ever get asked to recommend anywhere for dresses, Jane is the first and only one on my list."
- Sara Mooney

★★★★★
"This place is run by a lovely lady called Jane, she is so pleasant, nothing is too much trouble for her, she is so obliging and kind and gives you her honest opinion. She made me feel really good about myself. I went for an outfit for my golden wedding and I really enjoyed trying on different outfits till I got the one I wanted."
- Angela Millard

★★★★★
"I cannot recommend this lovely bridal shop highly enough. When I arrived, I did not have a clue what I wanted or what would suit me. Jane found a few dresses that she thought would suit my colouring and shape. I’m 40 this year and have never tried a wedding dress on in my life until I visited Jane’s shop - yet the first dress I tried on was the one! I tried others on but nothing quite had the same feel. Jane suggested a lovely belt that could be attached and it made it even more perfect. She also has fantastic contacts in the dress altering business - Amie took the baton from Jane’s expert eye and made my dress fit like a glove. If you need to find a dress, make an appointment! The fitting room is huge too, just to make it that bit more special."
- Sara Jinks

★★★★★
"I cannot even describe how amazing this shop, and this lady is! I haven't dared step into an 'average' bridal store - I've heard so many horror stories, and I didn't want what should be an amazing day and exciting time, to be full of stress, upset and self-loathing. Jane put my mind to rest as soon as I stepped foot in Celebrating Curves! For a start, the actual shop itself is stunning. You walk in and it's like being in your own lounge, full of wedding dresses and beautiful things! Jane even provided some bubbles and much needed coffee, along with some adorable little cupcakes. It was just such a lovely experience. Jane is such an incredible lady, she made me feel so comfortable straight away and was full of advice, she knew what I'd like better than I knew myself! This was my second shop I'd been to, and I said Yes to the dress there and then!! All in all, you've made it a wonderful experience, thank you Jane!"

"Amazing choice of dresses, Jane makes you feel really comfortable and helped find me the perfect dress."
- Holly Swales

★★★★★
"Jane is amazing, I am very body conscious and don't feel comfortable at all at taking my clothes off, but Jane is like a best friend, she is such a lovely person and puts you at ease immediately, as soon as you walk in you just feel the friendliness and care that Jane has. She is able to look at you and know exactly what dress will suit you and with my dress she was right, she looks after you like you are her own family. I would highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone who is looking for a dress, the shop sells mother of the bride outfits, flower girls and bridesmaid dresses in a range of colours and sizes."
- Paula Kenny

★★★★★

★★★★★
"This Bridal shop is a hidden gem for all of us curvy brides. Beautiful location... fabulous shop with lots of sparkles and best of all choice for all ages. Book an appointment to see Jane and her service is 5 star. A personal private service, no other brides and their families watching, the whole shop is yours. Jane is patient and caring with an eye for detail and so truthful. The service I got was amazing... Within 2 appointments I had my dress and brought it home. I travelled over a hundred miles to the shop and a hundred home, but worth it, I would do it all again. I have recommended it to friends and on my personal social media...
Don't be nervous or scared, the hardest thing you will do is walk through the door and meet a new friend, get a brew and biscuit and you will walk out a million dollars with a dress... #perfectionforcurves and a huge thank you from me xx loved my bridal experience."

"From the (many!) bridal shops I visited, celebrating curves was by far the best experience! Jane is amazing and makes you feel so welcome and comfortable from the minute you make the appointment. Nothing is too much trouble and her help and advice is amazing. The whole experience was exactly how bridal shopping should be! Not only did she make me feel comfortable but was so welcoming to the whole party who came with me! I cannot praise her enough, if there were more stars I'd give them! I wish Jane every success in the future and will definitely recommend her to any brides to be I meet!"

★★★★★
"Jane is lovely and makes every person that walks into the shop feel welcome. You are guaranteed a personal service and Jane does not push you to make a decision she gives you all the time you need. The idea behind the shop is fabulous. Trying dresses on that actually fit without having to try ridiculously small sizes makes everything stress free and easy.
I would highly recommend it to everyone and anyone. Don't go anywhere else. If you want to be treated like the only bride, have a lovely cuppa, a laugh, chat and honest opinion and advice... go to Jane at Celebrating Curves Bridal.
Best decision I ever made. I am so happy with my dress and can't wait to put it on again.
Thank you for everything Jane. You are an amazing lady. Carry on being you xxx"

"My favourite place of all time! I hate clothes shopping anyway, and the thought of wedding dress shopping literally made me feel sick. I’d been to a different shop in Sheffield the day before, and while it was lovely to fit into the dresses, the experience overall really wasn’t great, so I was feeling a little despondent. Stepped into Jane’s lovely little sanctuary the next day & it absolutely changed everything. We all felt like we’d known Jane forever, she is so warm & personable, and completely and genuinely cares about each person that steps through that door. I immediately felt like Jane totally understood my concerns, and she tailored the experience to my tastes. Jane went above and beyond to secure me my dream dress. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID so I haven’t been able to wear it yet, but even through all that Jane has kept in touch and I know she’s there for a natter if I need a shoulder. I can’t wait to take the little one for her bridesmaid dress. Jane has so many beautiful dresses that even though we aren’t even married yet, I’m trying to convince my other half to do a vow renewal so I can go and buy another dress with Jane! You will not be disappointed, Jane is our real-life fairy godmother. Thank you so much Jane & Celebrating Curves Bridal!"

"(If there was an option beyond 5 stars I'd pick that one!). I didn't really have a clue what I was looking for other than 'not a bell tent and not a bin bag'!!!! Jane is incredibly friendly. She puts you at ease from stepping through the door. She has great advice and passion for us curvier brides. The dresses are stunning and flatter any figure, body shape and style. She helped me figure out what I looked good in and found 'The One' for me."
- Gemma Louise Tate

"Wow! Not only did I find the most perfect dress but the whole experience, hospitality, chats, laughs and giggles made it that bit more fantastic! What I love the most about Jane and Celebrating Curves is being able to walk into a shop and talk to someone that is so down to earth! I instantly liked the atmosphere and hospitality and felt comfortable from the start. The whole experience so far has been amazing and I cannot wait to keep visiting until the final fitting Eeeekk!!

"What can I say about Jane and Celebrating Curves? I am so pleased I chose to come to Jane's little haven to shop for my dress. Jane made my 'entourage' and I so very welcome and helped us choose some beautiful dresses. I did find the 'one' and am very excited to receive it later in the year!
I can highly recommend Celebrating Curves and can only say if you want to visit somewhere that's relaxed and has a variety of curvy style dresses, book an appointment now!"

"What can I say, I have had the best experience ever. Jane made us all so welcome. It was like I've know Jane years. She knew what I liked and she actually picked my dress, what I have fell in love with. I wouldn't have picked it but she said try this on for me, so I did and OMG it's my dress. So can't wait to wear it on my wedding day.
Thank you so much Jane - You are the best, you have made my day wonderful and you certainly have an eye for wedding dresses. Thank you again. Karen xxxxx"
- Karen Taylor

★★★★★
"I was really worried as a plus-size lady that I would never find my wedding dress. I never thought I could find a dress that actually made me feel amazing, but with janes amazing help I managed to find 'the dress'. From the very moment we walked through her door she made us feel at ease and reassured. After trying on just one dress and telling her the things I didn't like, she picked out a dress that was just perfect, she knew me just by meeting her for half an hour. She really is a fairy godmother. I will recommend her to anyone. Jane is just wonderful! xx"
