Plot Synopsis

This half-hour reality series follows Yukia Walker and Yuneisia Harris, sisters and owners of Curvaceous Couture, who have made it their mission to help curvy brides look and feel amazing in the right dress for their figure on their special day. Yukia and Yuneisia first conceived the idea to open a specialty bridal boutique after Yukia had an awful experience shopping for her own wedding dress in 2008. After not being able to find a dress in her size, Yukia needed Yuneisia to try on gowns for her. With limited options available, Yukia was forced to buy a dress that she didn't feel comfortable in. It became clear to the sisters through this experience that the market was seriously lacking. Every bride deserves a bridal moment they will remember forever and a dress that fits, no matter the size. And from there, Curvaceous Couture was born just outside Baltimore, MD. Now, this series chronicles everything about the sisters' business -- from their annual Sample Sale to their adventures at New York Bridal Market -- while highlighting personalities at the salon and exploring Yuneisia's dating life. In addition to family drama and business events, each half-hour episode also features one or two brides-to-be, including: one client who insists on taking a picture of herself in every dress she tries on, so she knows how it will look on her big day; special guest Whitney Thompson, AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL Season 10 winner, who comes in looking for a dress -- and ends up strutting down the catwalk; one lucky bride who could win a free wedding dress; two brides whose opinionated mothers prevent them from finding their dream dresses; and many more curvy women looking for the perfect dress. TLC debuted CURVY BRIDES' pilot on Friday, August 1, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT, eight months before the show's official series premiere.

In the night's first new episode (9:30pm), "The Bonds of Sisterhood," Yukia & Yuneisia share an inseparable bond as sisters & friends, and they need a night out!

Then, in the season ender (10pm), "Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover," Yukia & Yuneisia worry the salon's unappealing exterior gives potential customers the wrong impression about what's inside, so they consider making a big change.
