Southampton-based Olivia George bridal boutique has exciting new plans in the pipeline.

From the end of 2021, the business is now focusing solely on plus-size bridal. Co-owner Carolyn Foster explains, "We already specialise in dresses up to size 28 and are now starting to phase out our smaller samples and will only stock dresses from size 14 up to 34. We're really excited about this, we already help lots of curvy brides to find their dream dress and our focus now is all about making sure we have plenty of styles available for then to try on."
