Claire’s heartfelt plea for gorgeous plus-size bridal fashion in Perth which ran on Australia Entertains a few weeks ago has caused quite a stir. I’ve been inundated with lovely emails to pass on to Claire and so many brides have told me they have had the same experience (not just in Perth, but around Australia and elsewhere around the world). A fantastic company called Boutique 88 contacted me yesterday to tell me about their stores. I am floored by the beautiful range of bridal gowns, evening wear and fashion Boutique 88 carries for plus-size gals. Joanne the company’s Owner & Katherine, the CEO, takes their role of providing glamorous options for non-size 10’s very seriously and have a wonderful attitude, energy and enthusiasm for Joanne’s boutiques.So, I wanted to plug Boutique 88 and encourage Perth brides-to-be and anyone with a celebration coming up (and in need of a glamorous gown) to head on down to one of Boutique 88’s stores in Morley, Mandurah and Geraldton; or visit their online store to view their great range for sizes 14-30. Don’t you just adore this Henri Josef gown modelled by curvy girl & owner of Boutique 88 Jo!?

And, especially for Claire, here is Katherine’s response to Claire’s plea:

We so far have 3 retail stores (in Morley, Mandurah & Geraldton) as well as an online shop & specialize in sizes 16-30.
