[ABC] is a popular shop for wedding accessories related to groom, brides, groomsmen, and bridesmaids. It houses a variety of wedding gowns and other dresses to accommodate everyone related to the wedding. ABC is run by professional designers and stylists who not only design amazing dresses but also give suggestions based on the personality and preferences of the clients.
Mostly, brides are accompanied by other women i.e., mother, sister, or friend to help in choosing the right dress for the bride. The shop is furnished in a manner that it can cater to anyone related to the wedding and can provide many options to choose from. I have learned a lot about styling, designing, bringing different pieces together to create a phenomenal look, and assisting. ABC shop takes great pride in being the number one shop to cater to all the needs of the wedding.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working for this shop but the only problem I encountered during my job was the derogatory attitude of employers towards plus-size individuals. All the dresses and gowns are designed to fit young, smart individuals but they do not design any dress for bulky or heavy customers. These customers are always looked down upon and make their arrival awkward. I tried to change this norm but all in vain. I came across the idea of setting up my own shop of bridal gowns for every size. A bride can be any size and still, she will be provided with the best service at my shop.

I want to set up a shop that can serve every woman regardless of their physique. I always had a creative mind and with experience and knowledge, I will be able to launch an exclusive collection that will be loved by every woman.
