Owners are Katherine Davies and Sally-Ann McGladdery, we’re both local and live in Whitefield. We’ve been friends for 15 years and met through our families mutual love of cricket. Our husbands and sons have all played for Stand Cricket Club and we spend a lot of our spare time socialising at the club!
We both wanted a new challenge and with seamstress and business skills between us we decided that bridalwear was the perfect industry. We’re really passionate that everyone should look and feel fantastic on their wedding day but that choice is limited for women with curvier figures. That’s why we decided to specialise in plus size wedding dresses and Bridal 1632 was born!
The name relates to the size of our sample dresses, they all range from size 16 to size 32. Our mission is to deliver a special dress shopping experience to every bride regardless of their shape or size. We’ve carefully chosen designers that have excellent ranges for curvier brides and are proud to be working with Ladybird, Rosa Couture and Eternity Bridal. We have over 30 sample dresses in stock so there is plenty of choice and with dresses starting from £750 we offer great value for money.
