Forget plus size..Jo and Al needs to dress all of us. They are amazing humans. Excellent customer service and I can tell it's not just for the telly.
Their compassion shows through.
They are therapists who sell wedding dresses on the side ❤
But for all the money I have spent on therapy over the years, I could have bought a round trip first class ticket across the pond and an expensive dress I don’t need. Cheaper and more effective than some of the “professionals” I have talked to.
We would be queuing half around Essex!
I 100% agree with you!! I wish I was rich, cause I would have flown to England to get a dress from them, heck, just to meet them and thank them!!
I do understand you wanting the Jo and Al experience. However, " forget plus size."
Are you kidding me!
Literally every other bridal shop provides services catering to " normal sizjudgment! Many don't even have gowns big girls can try on.
Let us fat girls have Jo and Al. They, unlike every other shop, provide for a niche in the marketplace that they cater to with love, caring and no judgement!
These ladies give me the weeps. They don't pity their clients, they empathize, encourage and believe in them. Stellar human beings!
I never get tired of this show! I can watch it all day!
Same here dear
Agreed. I have seen most of the episodes but I still love going back and watching the clips even if I have seen it before. It’s just heartwarming.
Yup :P i NEED MORE EPISODES!!!! Ive pretty much run out of ones i haven’t seen 😝😢😂
Me too!
not everyone can pull off that feather dress but SHE DID
If anyone could pull off that dress it was her!!!! I thought she was absolutely stunning in it!!!!
I just wish they can see what we see in them
I know.. Really gorgeous
I was obsessed with that dress on her. She looked incredible. I wish I could’ve worn it for my wedding!
Dang I wish she had liked it! Amazing on her!
The way she stopped talking when she saw the bride in the favorite dress just... that's a moment every bride deserves
Yeah, and that's why it kind of feels hard to believe it was a genuine moment. We've all seen fat, beautiful women come to life in a wedding dress, but this wasn't one of those moments. This girl is exactly the kind of person who needs a moment like that and they got it on camera like a movie? Sus
I love how Jo and Al are honest, but kind. So many people wouldn't be able to say "you'd need to lose 3 dress sizes" and NOT have it be harsh or cruel- intended or not.
Oh, Jo, you made me cry! I love the support you gave Mandy. You and Al support all of your bride's, but this one was extra special.
I agee!
I think Jo and Al do an amazing job!
The best ever! Love them for all they do.
I watch every episode.
I wish we knew the outcome for Mandy...
My heart broke when she said what her tutor had told her!!! It just goes to show how many secretly insecure people there are in this world, saying cruel, mean things to vulnerable people ... they claim to just being "honest" but the reality is they are pumping up their own ego in order to feel superior, revealing their own hidden insecurities!!
It's not about insecurity. It's about preying on vulnerable people for power and control.
For me it is a reminder that no matter how crappy my day might be, I need to be oh so careful that what I’m putting into the world should be positive and uplifting at best and at worst should be kind. ❤
(It is easier said than done when we are caught up in our own stuff, but it’s a worthwhile effort.)
@@wleighkst1671 WELL SAID!!!!!! Indeed a very worthwhile effort!!! And the more we practice the easier it gets too!!!
@@bev9708 ❤️
@@wleighkst1671exactly, you never know what someone else is going through. You're kind and considerate.
I don't recall Jo ever being that emotional. Sweet to see.
Yes I've seen enough episodes..❤
I felt that when she said she was told she wouldn't get a job because of her weight. My dad told me the same thing about being a paralegal. "They only want skinny pretty girls in their offices". That shit sticks with you. Glad she is working on seeing past that. She seems like a lovely person.
Its true though. People who have always been average sized, have no clue how overweight people are treated. Growing up, I was tall, thin and popular, people always treated me kindly, but I gained 175lbs after all my pregnancies and for 10 years I was plus sized. People either treat you badly, right to your face, or they ignore you like you aren't there. I had gastric bypass 16 years ago and lost 160lbs and have maintained 130lbs for the last 15 years, I had a tummy tuck and breast lift. Now people treat me the way I use to be treated before I gained the weight. But you can ask any overweight or obese woman how they are treated by others and I guarantee you that they've all got stories to tell about people treating them badly. I was made to feel stupid and uneducated, I have a master's degree and I'm far from stupid but that's how thin people treat heavy people. Not many people talk about weight discrimination, but it's out there, full on. Every single job I applied to when I was thin, I got! But those years I was heavy, I'd have to go on 8-10 interviews just to get a second call back interview. Many people talk about color discrimination but I agree, its real, I also have darker skin and very ethnic looking, but it was the weight discrimination that was always a much worse issue with employers. It's horrible being heavy, you don't get the respect you deserve!!
@@julietteoscaralphanovember2223 Pretty privilege is a thing, too. I have always been moderately overweight, a size 14-16/XL in the US. I have always gotten the job I applied for because I am kind & respectful but also have blue eyes and olive skin, brown hair, good skin. I lost 80lbs few years ago & I got more unwanted attention from men, but getting jobs was just as easy. Pretty privilege exists too.
(I'm agreeing with you by the way).
I live in the US and I wish that these 2 ladies had a shop here. They are kind and there isn't enough of that here
You’re so right! We need shops like this over here! Gok too!
Kleinfelds could learn from these ladies!!
@@Ktcsr17 I really like Gok .. He seems to treat his brides with caring love.
@@darlenelipuma7769 What you said... I keep hearing we only have 2 dresses in that size. .. Or the bride's budget there are only plain dresses. No embellishments
Kitchen and Jorn (youtubers) just went to a plus size wedding dress boutique with one of their partners. Their clips didn't focus on the owner or staff, it was mostly the try on, but it seemed nice. Located in LA, so maybe more selection in coming to the bigger bride in North America too
I would love to follow Mandy's joureny. Seeing her grow in confidence in this episode was just the beginning.
Looks like she only lost 2 stone and had to wear a different dress. I googled her name and the boutique's name, and there are some TLC UK facebook pages that show a picture and a clip from the follow up episode.
@@L.Spencer link?
PS 2 stone is still amazing, good for her!
@@Wriwnas1 My comments are often deleted if I post a link, but I'll try.
It got deleted.
those who make judgements on people based off their physical appearance will live a very miserable life. mandy gives me a warm & gentle energy, she is so beautiful both inside AND out ❤️
When I was a young girl I was tiny. And if I heard any snide comments about my bigger friends. I would say, be nice because Karma will kick your ass.
We need to make teenagers aware of that before they make people's lives miserable
It's a fact of life. Ive been thin and I've been plus sized. The way others treat overweight or obese people is horrendous and heartbreaking. They think you are stupid, make mean comments or ignore you and pretend you're not there. Its almost like the thin person doesn't realize that you are a human being also!! I was plus sized for 10 years of my 61 years on this earth and in those 10 years I have so many wretched and mean stories I could tell you. Employers discriminate, people are rude, its probably the worst discrimination I've every experienced. I also have darker skin and I'm very ethnic looking, but I got discriminated way more for my weight! Overweight or obese people ARE PEOPLE TOO!!
I can relate....10 yrs. Old, taking dancing lessons, and a guy who was always at our classes said to me as I m coming out of the dressing room to the dance floor said to me, Well, I see u put down that knife and fork. Haven t ever forgot those words. I m 72 yo now and those words said to me...I still remember after all these words. Words are powerful. Be kind to others
Yes children old and young can really be hurt by careless words of criticism.
I can totally relate. My best friend's mother called me a cow when I was about 10. That would have been around 1960 or so. Plus I was/am tall, so everyone called me a "big girl". But nothing hurt as much as her mom saying that to me.
When I was 13 y.o. I was called a 2 by 4 ... a flat straight board from all sides. Now I'm called fat as- at 66 y.o. People can be mean and judgemental at all sizes... And it cuts deep & stays with me no matter the age
I hope you know that is says so much more about the person that said it you than it does anything about you.
I loved the feather dress on her. Unique and fun. And she looked kickin
Its not often I cry over watching these shows, but the first girl finding that beautiful dress, brought so much joy to my heart. She looked ABSOLUETLY stunning! That dress looked like it was made for her.
I love these 2 women so much! The Way the treat their customers is lovely. And I love their necklaces! All of them!
Balling my eyes out hard on this one. These two ladies have touched my soul in a way no therapist or friend have ever.....
Jo and Al are most kindest souls they should teach everyone how to be kind to brides
Would love an update on the 6 months later goal. That made me cry my heart out
The dress she wore doesn't look like the one she wanted to wear.
Jo and Alison are both amazing people. The “ Service “ these women provide is truly inspiring.
I love how Jo & Al try to help the brides see themselves as the beautiful women they are. I thought Gemma absolutely rocked the feather dress! And I loved Mandy’s first dress, but I hope her favorite dress worked out for her. 💓
Ok I know Ive complained about klienfeld's just being a big commercial for panina, but I'd really like some designers named in these episodes so folks can seek out the dresses we see on the show.
The funny thing, when I was stressed this evening, I started TH-cam, and there were Jo and Al. I became calm and actually happy just listening to them.
Thank You both.
Oh my goodness. This episode really got to me. Love to Mandy, love to Gemma, and love to Jo and Al!
I love these women. They never put a bride in a position to be humiliated. Their first concern is the bride always. I love these women
I love you two ladies. You are so amazing with your costumers. The two of you understand what they go through shopping. You also make them completely comfortable with trying on different styles.
Me crying to tears of joy Mandy you are beautiful. People that says bad stuff to you or me makes us stronger.
I hope Mandy was able to wear the dress she loved..Curvey women come in all shapes and sizes and thank God for Jo and Al having everything a curvey Bride could want along with a good dose of positivity ❤️
Such amazing women those two are. They love helping brides.
I absolutely love and adore Jo and Al. They are so kind and gentle but still tell the brides the truth. We need more people like Jo and Al
You ladies are the most kind & compassionate people. This beautiful lady came to you so deflated & feeling less than beautiful. You've made her realise that she was the wonderful person that everyone sees, but she couldn't. Then Jo cried when she told the bride of her own weight loss journey & that brought me undone. Brilliant, as usual.
That first dress looks amazing on her
SHES SO PRETTYYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤
Love these ladies...I want just to hug them both. They could make the world feel special.💜🙏🌞👏
I love theses ladies. Always touching the lives of their clients.
I loved the second one in the feather dress. She looked amazing!
I've never seen Jo get this emotional. BIG lump in my throat over this episode. 🥺
When you need a smile and some hope and the feeling like you just got a hug, you just watched them in action. Jo and Al are what we all need. Their karma is smooth and blue. ❤
20 stone!? How come I never knew this about Jo? That's amazing!!
When I was 6 I started ballet classes. I desperately wanted to dance. I was only there a short time because one day the teacher said I'd never make a good dancer because I was too fat. That comment has haunted me all my life and I never returned to dancing. I never told my mom because I was so ashamed. I look back at photos now and don't even know why she said that. I'm just an average six year old. Maybe not "skinny" but definitely not an overweight child at all. Yet here I am 46 years later, very overweight and still feeling crushed as I write this.
Choose your words carefully. They can have a life long impact for good or for harm.
She was STUNNING in the first dress! What a spectacular figure she had! But...to each their own. She looked beautiful in the dress she chose.
I loved the feather dress!
I have lost 200 lbs. I feel for her so much. After losing the weight it is nice to buy clothes in a normal store and be able to pick more of a variety. I only ever got picked on once in college.
That story she told about her tutor INFURIATED ME! How freaking dare you!
Man I love what you girls do! You make the lives of plus size girls so much sweeter when you show them that they truly are beautiful! I cry over every show. You make the world a better place!
I wish they would make a new season…
ive never seen Jo cry like that! so sweet
They are just the nicest people. Honestly and genuinely kind and good. ❤
Both brides looked beautiful and picked gorgeous gowns.
Shes so beautiful!
They are Just Lovely! Jo and Al make absolutely everyone feel beautiful!!! I weep at every episode! But this one was extra special!
I weigh about 75 kg... yes, I know that's not comparable.. I just want to say that I love very much all women who weigh just a little bit more... they are so vulnerable, full of kindness and love and that she just didn't deserve to be treated like that...🌹❤️🙏🏼
❤❤❤ I love Jo and Al!!
Don’t forget to give us an update on the first client please and thanks
My heart literally went out to Jo in this episode. When she started crying, it just broke my heart. I’m not a big girl, and I’ve never been a big girl, but I have been pregnant four times and each pregnancy. I had to lose 45 pounds afterwards. It was really really hard and I can’t imagine losing as much weight as Jo has. ❤ Jo and Al are beautiful human beings inside and out.
anyone wondering, when Jo said she lost 20 stone, thats 280lbs!
She looked amazing in that feather dress!!! She just didn’t know it!
I don't cry often but the first girl. She is beautiful.
I love so much that Al gave the bride the option of having that motivation to get healthier. The earlier she does it, the better off she will be. I really hope it worked out.
My favorite Say Yes To The Dress is Curvy Brides and these two women. I wish there was a comprable shop in the U.S.
There is. I can't remember the name she had a show. It's run by a black woman
😊 Every woman walking through that door are ALL BEAUTIFUL 😊 and CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 BLESSINGS 🌻🙏🏽🌻
I really liked the first dress with the feathers, really nice shape. But happy she got the one she loved!
I absolutely love these two women!!!
The brides look so pretty.
She has the most gorgeous eyes 😍😍
Gemma looked stunning in that feather dress
Jemmas first dress was so amazing
Beautiful bride! Love her hair!
Kuddos to these 2 ladies....... Who makes every girl realize that she's unstoppable.......
I love the feathers. They are fun like her personality.
Mandy! You are just lovely. Thanks for sharing this special time🌺
They both looked amazing.
I truly love you guys!! You change lives!! I love it!!!!
Mandy is a beauty and is really sweet. Shame on those who have criticized her.
No, Jo doesn't cry 😭😭
@8:00 Why would you get implants and then go out of your way to wear baggy tops so that you can hide them? I think she got them for the wrong reasons or didn't think long and hard about it before she did it.
Gemma looks absolutely stunning in the dress that she chose! ❤
I loved the feathers!
This totally was a beautiful tear jerker, omygoodness ❤
I love them these ladies are everything ❤
Absolutely stunning!!! Gorgeous!!!!
The Lord has sent these beautiful women to help these girls feel perfect on their wedding day. So moving.
I am glad she got in to her favorite but I actually liked the first one better. Regardless of size, these two women have a GIFT of putting a woman in the right dress. That's an art.
Love this show, Jo and Al are so kind and genuine. The shot at 3:45 is just so lovely. The editing of this show is also great, it feels so authentic, just the emotion of the bride and guests.
These ladies are so caring and helpful with these over weight brides . God bless them
Mandy has the most beautiful complexion/ flawless skin....lovely young bride :)
Half the reason I whatch this show is Alisons fabulous necklace collection.
The last dress was beautiful
Gm ladies both dress looooooks absolutely beautiful gorgeous but i loves the last one ,,❣❤❤❤❣❣congratulations al u've done well 👏 ❤ keep up the great work 💪
She has such pretty coloring. I love red hair !
I love the feather dress
I once had a DOCTOR tell me I’d be pretty if I were thinner, so I can totally relate to the first bride.
First one. Loved first dress. But she needed a longer veil. Then it would look stunning! She was radiant. Try on a longer veil.
.. another exciting episode, could watch this show daily 😅
Very nice. She looks lovely in her dress.
Hermosas mujeres y vestidos increíbles 😍🙌👍..
Al & Jo are such amazingly beautiful women!
I love this show!
Chills, Chills, Chills!! The first one just got me. The pain she was carrying.
I love that feather dress
