It’s no secret that there’s a major deficit in quality plus-size clothing <\/a>options in the world of fashion retail. However, one model-founded independent brand has been looking to tackle just that. Recently, Gia\/IRL<\/a> debuted its first bridal collection in collaboration with inclusive fashion creator Emma Arletta.<\/p>\n

“As a plus-size bride<\/a> in 2025, I spent countless hours searching online and in stores for bridal event wear that felt stylish, modern, and truly designed for my body. Instead, during a season when I was supposed to feel celebrated and beautiful, I often felt excluded from the image of what a bride is ‘supposed’ to look like. That experience inspired this collection,\u201d explains Arletta.<\/p>\n
