What do you advise to make sure I get the best out of my appointment? (5:30)
I’ve never tried on a wedding dress before and I’m really nervous. Is this normal?? (8:30)
You always talk about being the bride you want to be but what does that actually mean? (9:30)
I am a plus size bride and I’ve had a bad experience in a different shop. How do I know you’ll look after me? (11:15)
I found a dress I love but didn’t have the “this is the one” moment where everyone cried. Now I’m doubting that this is the right dress. What should I do? (12:20)

So in love with the idea of wearing a skirt over a slip dress or fitted dress, however, how seamless does this look? Does the dress sometimes end up bunching up under the skirt? (23:14)
