Carolyn Brown does not disappoint. Yet another great read! Her characters make you feel like they are your next door neighbors. What could be better then 3 best friends running a Plus size wedding boutique, a secret crush moving back into town, and enough drama to make life interesting. I loved reading about Mitzi and Graham and getting to know Graham's twin daughters. They do everything big in Texas and this book is no exception. If you like an ending that makes you happy with enough twists to make you wonder if you will get there, then this is the read for you!

In The Perfect Dress, Ms. Brown gives her readers a glimpse into the lives of three best friends running a wedding dress business & their lives, loves & families. All three girls are what is considered “big” girls & have been bullied for their size. They cater only to plus sizes, determined to help them feel beautiful on their big day. I enjoyed the fact that even though all three have their moments of shame & self doubt, they stand behind each other through everything & come out the other side stronger & more self assured.

This story follows three friends who own their own custom wedding dress shop. These three women are the type of friends everyone is looking for in their life-one who will stand beside you or stand up for you no matter what. Carolyn Brown presents us with witty characters as she tackles family dynamics, romance and gives us TONS of humor along the way.

I recieved a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this one, the characters were fun and there was plenty of drama.

Time shops a little sometimes and without chalet trains for which character we're with can be a little confusing, at times I had to go can to try to figure out who was talking.

I loved Mitzi's conversation with Rita and the way she shit her down, but then again I loved the way Graham did that too.

Overall I liked it

Three friends open a plus size wedding dress shop in the south, you just know there is going to be a lot of humor in this one. I really liked all of the characters and how the friends stood together against everything. Lots of humor and drama and as we all know, southern ladies tell it like it is

I loved this book! I loved the relationships that we got to watch grow in this novel. The relationships between Mitzi and Graham’s girls was so great to see blossom. Even Fanny and Mitzi relationship was wonderful to read about. Although Mitzi, Jody and Paula each had a difficult storyline at times they all supported each other and there were great outcomes. I would love to read more about each of them with sequels to this one. There were definitely times I laughed during reading this. I couldn’t wait to keep reading this book, it was definitely a fast and fun read!

I couldn’t find this on Goodreads so I could not review it on there quite yet.
