Bride of the Month - February 2012: Kate Elizabeth Thorpe

Kate Elizabeth Thorpe

Name: Kate Elizabeth Thorpe

Wedding Date: 24th September 2011

Location: Warrington, Cheshire

Dress: 912

I bought my dress from Cheshire Bridal Wear, Goose Green, Altrincham. I would recommend Julie and her team, they gave me the best experience buying and choosing my wedding gown. They were honest, helpful and really listened to what I liked and disliked, they never rushed me or made me feel under pressure.

I chose a Benjamin Roberts gown for the fit, the design and the fabric. I didn't want to take it off! There is so much choice and the designs fit and flatter all figures. The quality of the gowns and the fabrics is second to none.

I began my search for a wedding gown 12 months before my wedding and had no idea what I wanted, what would suit my figure nor what designers to try.

After visiting several dress shops and trying on over 20 different dresses I was introduced to the Benjamin Roberts Gorgeous with Curves collection, I instantly fell in love. I have never really thought myself as curvy, though I am a typical pear shape (not too much on top but I have hips!) Then my decision was made for me, these were the dresses I was comfortable in, the dresses I felt like a princess in and the only dresses I'd tried on and didn't want to take off! After much deliberation I decided on the Gorgeous with Curves design 912 in silky white. I fell in love with the fit, the sweeping train and the intricate beading work. The dress has just a subtle sparkle, but made me feel like a million dollars. It nipped in my waist, accentuated my curves and the sweetheart neckline flattered my bust. Even now, three months after my wedding day I unzip my dress from its protective case just to spend a few minutes looking at it and remembering what an amazing day I had wearing it.
