1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,720 All right, let's jump into a topic 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,120 that I think a lot of people have strong feelings about, 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,080 but maybe haven't thought about too deeply. 4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,120 And that is wedding dress sizing. 5 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:09,960 Oh yeah, yeah. 6 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,060 So whether you are a bride to be, 7 00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:16,560 or you're just fascinated by the hidden quirks 8 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,120 of the fashion industry, 9 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,680 or maybe you're having a friend 10 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,080 who's going through this process, 11 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:24,740 this deep dive is gonna give you some insider knowledge. 12 00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:26,240 I think it's a great topic. 13 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,040 Because it really gets into so many different things 14 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,800 like body image and industry standards. 15 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,280 Oh yeah, for sure. 16 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Expectations. 17 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,720 It can be a lot for brides to. 18 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,640 Totally. 19 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,160 Yeah, and we're gonna unpack all of this 20 00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:40,880 using some really cool sources, 21 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,720 including insights from a bridal shop in Pennsylvania 22 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,120 called Darianna Bridal & Tuxedo. 23 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,160 Oh wow. 24 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,080 They're known for their commitment to size inclusivity. 25 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,940 Okay. 26 00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:52,840 And we're gonna get into 27 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,600 what makes their approach so unique. 28 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,440 Yeah. 29 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,480 But first, let's just talk about the elephant in the room. 30 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,320 Okay. 31 00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,140 Bridal sizing itself. 32 00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:00,980 You know, it's so interesting 33 00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:03,120 because it's almost like bridal sizing 34 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,040 exists in its own universe. 35 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,880 Yeah. 36 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,700 Completely separate from like 37 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:07,540 Totally. 38 00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:09,280 Sizes we see in everyday clothes. 39 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Totally, and it's not just the bridal sizes run large, 40 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,920 which is already confusing enough. 41 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,760 Yeah, yeah. 42 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,880 But our sources point out that like 43 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,560 different designers use their own sizing scales. 44 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,720 Oh wow. 45 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,280 It's kinda like how a size eight shoe. 46 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,120 Oh right. 47 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,520 And one brand can fit totally differently. 48 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,360 Yeah. 49 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,880 From a size eight in another brand. 50 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,080 Exactly, and it gets even trickier than that 51 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,600 because we're not just talking about slight variations. 52 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,560 Okay. 53 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,920 The way that a garment is constructed for bridal. 54 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,760 Okay. 55 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Like all the boning and the layers 56 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,840 and the, you know, the way it's designed to censure flow. 57 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,680 Oh yeah. 58 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280 That plays a role in how a size translates 59 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,120 from the tag to your body. 60 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,120 Yeah, like how is a bride supposed to shop confidently 61 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,840 when sizes are this inconsistent? 62 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,680 Right. 63 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,000 It's nerve wracking enough as it is. 64 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,920 Exactly, and that's where understanding 65 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,440 these little nuances becomes really important. 66 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,720 So for example, let's say you're trying on a ball gown. 67 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,560 Okay. 68 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,520 The sample size might fit your bodice when it's clipped in. 69 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,360 Okay. 70 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,640 But then the skirt volume is gonna be totally different 71 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,560 once it's tailored to your actual size. 72 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,920 Oh, that makes sense because the proportions would change. 73 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:18,740 Exactly. 74 00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:19,580 Depending on the size. 75 00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:20,420 Yes. 76 00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:23,440 So even if you love that dramatic princess-worthy skirt. 77 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,280 Yeah. 78 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,320 It's not gonna have the same effect. 79 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,160 Right. 80 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,980 In a smaller size. 81 00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:28,520 Exactly, and it's not just ball gowns. 82 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960 Think about a mermaid silhouette. 83 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:31,800 Oh yeah. 84 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,760 Which is all about hugging the curves. 85 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Yeah. 86 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,800 A larger sample size may not actually reflect 87 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,840 how that dress is gonna contour to your body 88 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,960 in your true size. 89 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Yeah, so it's not just about finding a dress that zips up. 90 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,280 Right. 91 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,400 It's about understanding how the style and the proportions. 92 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,240 That's right. 93 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,480 Translate across sizes. 94 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,520 And this is something that 95 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,800 Darian and Bridal really emphasizes. 96 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,640 Okay. 97 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,120 And we talk about how the lack of inclusive sample sizes 98 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040 can be deeply discouraging for brides. 99 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,880 Trouble. 100 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,640 Especially those who maybe fall outside 101 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,000 of that average range. 102 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,160 Yeah, and it's not just about offering 103 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,360 a wide range of sizes on paper. 104 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,200 Right. 105 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,840 It's about actually having those sizes. 106 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Yes. 107 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,500 To try on in the store. 108 00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,680 Yeah, imagine walking into a bridal salon 109 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,380 and it's supposed to be this experience 110 00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:17,520 that's all about you feeling special and beautiful. 111 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,360 Yes. 112 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,280 You can't even try on a dress. 113 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,120 Right. 114 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,940 In your size. 115 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:22,780 That's awful. 116 00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:24,520 That's incredibly disheartening. 117 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,180 Yeah, and it makes brides feel like their bodies are wrong. 118 00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:29,020 Yeah. 119 00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:29,840 Or less than. 120 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,920 It's supposed to be a joyful experience. 121 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:32,760 Yeah. 122 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,000 Not one that makes you question yourself. 123 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,820 Totally. 124 00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:35,660 Yeah. 125 00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:37,600 So Darianna's approach really is refreshing. 126 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Yes, it is. 127 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,560 They've been very vocal about the need 128 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080 for size inclusivity in the bridal industry. 129 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Yeah. 130 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,880 And they've taken steps to make their shop 131 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,280 a welcoming space. 132 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Yeah. 133 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,000 For brides of all sizes. 134 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,160 So let's get into what they're doing. 135 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,000 Okay. 136 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Because I'm so curious to hear about this. 137 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,560 Well, for starters, 138 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,480 they carry a really impressive range of sizes. 139 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,280 They have in store from a size two to a size 32. 140 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,160 Wow. 141 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,720 But what's really remarkable 142 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,760 is that they also offer special orders 143 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,060 for sizes zero to 32. 144 00:04:11,060 --> 00:04:12,640 That's a huge commitment. 145 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Yeah. 146 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,360 Like they're really invested in serving a diverse clientele. 147 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,960 It goes beyond that though. 148 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,640 They have over 60 plus size sample gowns. 149 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,480 Wow. 150 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,580 For brides to try on. 151 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:24,720 Okay, that's impressive. 152 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,140 So this allows brides to actually get a sense 153 00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:29,200 of how a dress will look. 154 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,040 Yes. 155 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,620 And feel on their body instead of just having to imagine it. 156 00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:33,460 Okay. 157 00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:34,720 Based on a smaller sample size. 158 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,200 I mean, most bridal shops have like very limited 159 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,920 plus size samples, if any at all. 160 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,400 And they did this even before 161 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,200 it was like a trend in the industry. 162 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,500 They saw a need that wasn't being met 163 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:48,280 and they decided to invest in that. 164 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,200 That's amazing. 165 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,440 They're really walking the walk. 166 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,280 Yeah. 167 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,560 It's one thing to talk about inclusivity. 168 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,400 Right. 169 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,240 But it's another thing to like actually invest in it. 170 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,280 Especially when it goes against the grain. 171 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,120 Exactly. 172 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,120 Of what everyone else is doing. 173 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880 And there's another detail I thought was really interesting. 174 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,780 Okay. 175 00:05:04,780 --> 00:05:08,040 They don't charge extra for dresses 176 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,600 in sizes 18 and up. 177 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,800 Seriously. 178 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,080 Why is that even a thing? 179 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,920 You know, unfortunately it's a practice 180 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,360 that reflects a deeper issue in the fashion industry. 181 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Totally. 182 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,840 It kind of perpetuates this idea. 183 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:20,680 Yeah. 184 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,320 That there's this standard size 185 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,440 that deserves preferential treatment. 186 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,280 Right. 187 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,400 While other sizes are somehow outside the norm. 188 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,240 Yeah. 189 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,080 And so you have to pay. 190 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,360 It's like you have to pay a penalty 191 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,040 for not fitting into a certain mold. 192 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,960 Exactly. 193 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,840 And Dariana is challenging that. 194 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:36,680 I love it. 195 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,840 But you know, refusing to participate in that practice. 196 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:39,680 That's fantastic. 197 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,500 Yeah. 198 00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:43,440 They believe that every bride deserves to feel beautiful. 199 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,280 Yeah. 200 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,480 And valued, regardless of her size. 201 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,300 I love that. 202 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:48,840 And they've actually noticed some interesting things 203 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:51,340 about like what sells in their shop. 204 00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:52,240 Okay. 205 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,480 So sizes two to six and 28 to 32 206 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,920 tend to sell out the fastest. 207 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,760 Okay. 208 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,960 Along with long

are all about 272 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840 flattering certain body types or hiding flaws. 273 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,480 It just makes you feel like you have to conform 274 00:07:46,480 -->
