Katie Horan of All Bodies, All Brides will be cohosting one for our retailers soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013, we asked brides to share with the world how they love their fit. This vulnerable yet exciting proclamation extended beyond the fit of their dream gown, though! We wanted to know how they loved their family, workplace, friends, community, and their lives in general. Through this campaign, we were able to provide perspective into the societal values of women. We aimed to also help our commitment in promoting diversity in bridal flourish into what it is now! Today, we strive to further inclusivity in fashion. We work to accomplish this by being inclusive in our sizing, as many of our dresses are offered in US sizes 0 to 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>All Bodies, All Brides Models<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The photoshoot featured four models with disabilities including, Emma Bailey, a student at Meredith College with a spinal cord injury.
