Private one-to-one bridal appointments
Specialist advice on fit, support, shape and styling.
Curvy bridal collections from trusted designers.
Calm boutique setting near Ashford, around 14 miles from Faversham.
Each gown is designed with both beauty and comfort in mind, allowing you to move, celebrate, and enjoy the day without restriction. Our dresses feature a wide range of designs, colours, and fabrics:
Our boutique is at 176a Sandyhurst Lane, Ashford, Kent, TN25 4NX. If you are travelling from Faversham, contact us before your visit to discuss the styles you would like to try and your wedding date.
Zoe’s studies at the London College of Fashion inform her advice on dress construction and fit. During your appointment, she will listen to your preferences and wedding plans, then help you compare necklines, sleeves, bodices and skirt shapes.
For some made-to-order gowns, design changes may be possible with the design team. If you love a dress but want to change a detail, Zoe can discuss what is feasible and liaise with the designers before production. Availability of changes depends on the design; ask during your appointment.
You should not have to stand in a dress that will not close and guess how it might look in your size. Our boutique experience is built around plus size brides, which means more time in dresses you can actually try on and clearer advice about what each style does for your shape.
Trying a dress in a realistic sample size makes the appointment calmer and more useful. You can see the neckline properly, feel the support, move in the dress and understand the overall shape without awkward guesswork.
We can guide you through bodices, waist placement, sleeve options, skirt shapes, fabric weight and alterations, helping you compare dresses with confidence. Our advice also covers the details that make a plus size wedding dress feel secure and flattering, including structured bodices, supportive internal construction, carefully placed seams and fabrics that drape well over curves.
Allow two hours for your private bridal appointment. There is no booking fee or appointment deposit, and you can bring up to three trusted guests. We will listen to your plans and help you compare dresses without pressure to buy.

Wow what can I say, lots of happy tears, the fantastic Zoe is so helpful and really put me at ease. I found my perfect dress and fit perfectly. Im so happy and its taken a weight of my mind, I thought id never feel beautiful in a wedding dress being a curvy bride but wow I felt amazing. Do not go anywhere else Beautiful in curves is the only place that had dresses that fit my shape and didnt make me feel like an issue! Thank you for all your guidance and the process was really fun. I've gone from dreading wearing a dress to now I cant wait to show it to everyone!

Fabulous experience and extremely professional. Zoe has the knowledge and passion to find the dress which not only flatters, but gives a statement. I came out with a dress a far cry from my original ideas. There's no faffing, very methodical in her approach which is what's needed when buying a wedding dress. The guidance is there, her knowledge of her dresses is there, her determination is there. I am truly thankful that this was the first place I visited. I can't recommend her enough. What could have taken me weeks to find my perfect dress, took me 2 and a half hours. Who could wish for more. One very happy customer 🙂❤️

Great last minute appointment made with Zoe looking for a Mother of the Bride dress. Less than 20 days out and a panic outfit change landed us at Beautiful in Curves. Zoe was great and gave lots of information up front, was firm but fair with pushing Mum out of her comfort zone to try new things that wouldn’t of been default, and walked away with a dress that she didn’t want to take off!
Mid - high budget, but the quality you pay for when it comes to looking your best on the one day!

Amazing experience, nothing was to much trouble, so many options so many dresses, and a lovely surprise when we got down to THE dress which wasn’t what I was originally looking for, Zoe takes her time explaining everything and really gets you talking about what you like don’t like, what you want to change not change, Zoe doesn’t make the decision for you but asks questions, would recommend Zoe to all. Zoe made me comfortable and at ease throughout the process! Thankyou for an amazing experience!

What a wonderful experience trying on dresses for my son’s wedding with Zoe. I found her so kind, insightful and very passionate about what she does. Zoe was professional and dresses very well priced.

As a plus sized bride with social anxiety the part I was dreading was looking for a dress. Yet from the start Zoe made me feel comfortable, seen, and like I was the most important person in the room.
I went into the studio not knowing what I wanted or even liked. She was calm and set me at peace from the start. And within the first visit we found it. THE DRESS!
In the end I had the most wonderful experience, I felt like I was a princess...nay, queen. I felt so beautiful and cannot wait to pick up my dress
Thank you so much Zoe you are fantastic at your job and I will be singing your praises to whomever needs a dress.
Thank you again

Amazing experience with my sister who is the bride to be.
Zoe made everything so easy and relaxed. In an industry that is often difficult for plus size brides Zoe made my sister feel so beautiful and supported throughout the entire experience. She chose her perfect dress today and couldn't be happier.
Thank you

I cannot recommend Zoe at beautiful in curves enough.
I tried every online outlet, designer sites and many other online pages that advertised mother of the bride/groom dresses.
What a waste of 6 months. Not one either looked like the picture, took so long to arrive, was completely the wrong size or the quality was poor.
I heard about Zoe from a local bridal shop ( Novo Bridal) and Wow, just Wow.
Zoe, put me at ease on the phone, told me I would find a dress with her ( something I thought was a bold statement) but she was not wrong.
I arrived at the studio still with doubt in my mind that I would actually find something. Zoe put me at ease, made me feel comfortable. There was no pressure, no rush and no judgement.
I had a style in mind but I ended up trying dresses on that were way out of my comfort zone, all Zoe asked was to see beyond the hangar.
I must have tried on 15 dresses, all of which I liked in one way or another, then with advice from Zoe, I finally chose the one.
Similar to the style I had been looking at, but it fitted, the quality was beyond anything I had tried from online. I can honestly say I had many doubts about finding one but I could have come away with 3 or 4 of the Beautiful dresses I tried on.
Zoe took me out of my comfort zone, and each dress I tried on felt and looked beautiful.
Zoe offered suggestions for dresses that I liked and things I did/didn't want or had parts that I could move to enhance the dress better.
Almost all the dresses I tried on made me feel special, which for someone like me who doesn't dress up gave me the confidence to try styles I would not have gone for.
With Zoe's professionalism, knowledge of her stock, listening to my thoughts. I found a Kevan Jon dress that I felt comfortable, confident and beautiful in.
And one I know, as mother of the groom, no one else is likely to turn up in !
Ladies, don't go looking on line, go and see Zoe and I will be bold and say, you will go home with the dress you have been looking for.
Thank you Zoe 😊

Absolutely fantastic place to go for your dress. Zoe was so knowledgeable and in tune with working out what you were trying to get at with an idea. Once the dress was bought the service continued to be excellent and Zoe managed and sorted an issue without compromising quality, timeline or adding stress to an already stressful time. Got exactly what I wanted, thanks Zoe!
Many brides arrive feeling nervous. Some have been told there is nothing in their size. Others worry about being judged, rushed or pushed towards a dress that does not feel right. Our approach is different. We listen first, guide carefully and help you choose from dresses that make sense for your body, your budget and your wedding plans.
