With the news that David’s Bridal has filed for bankruptcy, I just wanted to say that I hope they can find a buyer and don't shut down for good. I personally love my David's Bridal wedding dress (heck, it's my favorite thing I've ever worn!) and loved the experience I had at the Springfield location. I know it's not the fanciest, classiest joint and it's not very hip to have a mass-produced wedding dress from a chain store, but it felt welcoming and accessible to me in a way that not many wedding industry businesses do.

I feel like the gulf is diverging rapidly between 'high-end wedding' and 'budget wedding.' The average wedding dress from a bridal boutique costs almost $2,000, while online stores offer much cheaper dresses. But while there are a lot of convenient and affordable options online, it doesn't give that experience of trying on different dresses and styles in front of your family and friends with the help of a knowledgeable consultant-- and you might not realize how different the dress looks in person than online until it's too late.

And while secondhand or consignment bridal stores are an amazing option and I highly recommend them (I planned to visit one if my trip to David's Bridal didn't pan out), you won't have as many options for styles in your size if you have a specific vision or style preference like I did. David's Bridal makes the full experience of trying on wedding dresses in-store accessible to people who can't afford a designer gown. I don't like the idea of the 'bridal store' experience only being for the wealthy. But budget isn't the only reason it felt more inclusive to me.

My favorite thing about David's Bridal is their size-inclusiveness. Unlike many higher-end retailers, they have sample sizes in store in a wide variety of sizes. Many brides who visit fancy bridal stores can only hold a dress up to them and imagine what it looks like, or try it on with the whole back open and clipped into place. Typical sample gowns are often in designer bridal sizes 8-12, but that translates to something closer to street sizes 4 to 8. That leaves out a LOT of customers. Though things are changing, they haven't changed fast enough.

Not only are David's Bridal dresses fairly true to size, they have samples in a wide variety of sizes. I wear a street size 10-12 and those are the dress sizes I tried on at David's-- and I was able to try on every dress in my own size except for one brand new dress that we pulled off the mannequin. Unlike many other bridal stores, David's Bridal doesn't charge more for plus sizes, offers all their dresses in sizes 0-30, and uses models of all sizes in their advertising and catalogs. Although I didn't purchase a plus size dress from David's Bridal, a street size 10-12 is often considered plus at other higher-end bridal stores and would have much more limited options, especially within my small budget. And it made me feel way better to know that I was shopping in a place that wouldn't turn away other people I love and care about if they were to shop there, too.

Like many chain stores, David's Bridal experiences and stores can vary between locations. I've heard some horror stories about the stores, and I also was warned not to use their alterations department (I didn't). But when I had my appointment at David's Bridal, I never felt excluded from making certain choices or uncomfortable with my body, never felt like a less valuable customer, and the consultants were only positive and enthusiastic. I can sometimes feel very self-conscious when shopping for clothes, but it was a great day with some of my favorite people and had good vibes only.

I do hope that they find a buyer and keep at least some stores open, because I'd really like other people to have a nice welcoming experience like I did!

Connor McDavid’s Bridal

#idk how regional David’s bridal is #if you’ve ever been in a wedding in the US you’ve probably had to buy an ugly dress there

Ive been shopping for my sisters wedding and it’s the first time I’m going to an Event after I’ve transitioned and having MANY thoughts about how complicated my relationship with fashion has always been? I have always struggled with how I want to present and express myself and now that im more masculine presenting it’s taking time to figure out HOW I want to dress while still being me. Anyways i went to men’s warehouse for the first time, got overwhelmed and discovered the Other side of gender dysphoria for myself 😐

#also extremely complicated relationship to buying clothes bc growing up poor #life blogging #like paying a lot of money for luxury clothing is REALLY hard #i was able to find a lot of my stuff second hand at goodwill tho so hell yeah boy #my mom got TWO dresses for $30 and they’re like brand new David’s bridal gowns

TIFERET: THE HEART OF THE ROSE & SOPHIA

Now that we’ve established a bit of the doctrine surrounding the Divine Feminine I wanted to share a few techniques for awakening to Her presence. Since she actually permeates everything we aren’t evoking Her. We’re becoming aware She is within us and around us. If you’re new to the mystical aspects of the path then you will definitely benefit from these visualization techniques. So rock with me as we take the journey within.
