Today, dictators for good reasons fear Twitter and smartphones. Today, you may find your grandmother on Facebook. Everyday several hundred million people are on Facebook and even more use Google. Something has clearly changed. Internet is everywhere and we are seeing the effects in more and more parts of our lives.
In our view there is very little room for doubt regarding the rise of e-business. Perhaps there was ten years ago. Not any longer. Look at Amazon.com. Amazon's revenue of USD 34,2 billion for 2010 represent a growth of more 39 per cent. It is significant that this growth was achieved in a global economy with very limited overall growth. Hard numbers, change is coming.
It is advances in technology, standards and similar things that enables businesses to go onto the Internet to interact with their customers. However in our view the current changes would not had taken place if they were only about technology. The current changes are happening because new technology is enabling businesses to more effective and business to be conducted in more convenient ways.
We see our role as helping businesses running Microsoft Dynamics ERP system adapt to the new requirements of e-business. Software that in turn helps our customers become even more efficient and enable the to deliver their goods and service in even more convenient ways.

Is a marketing course a marketing course without an Apple case study?
It seems like no marketing course can resist a good Apple case study. Last week was no different when I attended a one day course put on by the CIM.
And for good reason. What Apple has achieved over the past decade is nothing short of remarkable. Steve Jobs was a true visionary who crucially understood what Apple didn't stand for as much as what it did.
This video illustrates the point nicely by asking, what would the IPod's packaging look like if it was designed by Microsoft? (The fact that the IPod is used instead of the IPhone shows the video's age – but it's still funny).
Through gently mocking Microsoft's style of communications, the video makes a serious point: by attempting to communicate everything, Microsoft has communicated nothing. This 'spray and pray' tactic of bombarding the consumer with product information reveals a deeper underlying problem. Microsoft doesn't know its target audience well enough to understand how it creates real value for them. Instead, Microsoft spreads its bet by communicating numerous product features rather than hitting on the few key emotive and self expressional benefits that create true value to the customer.
As said by a director at Black and Decker, "our customers are not buying 1/4 drill bits, but 1/4 holes". In other words, brands most understand the value they create for their consumer – the product features are mere technicalities.
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. So last week, when Microsoft launched their brand new CRM with the strap line "Make Happy", we were naturally very flattered.
Make Happy was built on the premise that happy employees, clients and customers come hand in hand with healthy profits. But above all, it's nice to make happy. That's why we welcome Microsoft to share our Make Happy philosophy and reap the rewards of a formula that time and time again, has been proven to work.
Now who knows a decent copyright lawyer?

The seventh annual NanoDays, a statewide initiative designed to present the world of nanoscale science and nanotechnology to the public, particularly K-12 students and their teachers, underscores the ECE department's commitment to outreach activities in the community. The NCSU Nanofabrication Facility (NNF) and the Analytical Instrumentation Facility (AIF) hosted more than five hundred visitors at Monteith Research Center, providing tours and demonstrations in the research laboratories. The students, teachers, and parents were guided through different labs in small groups where they experienced hands-on nano activities, such as making nano ice cream, which is smoother than normal due to the size of the ice nanocrystals and their distribution in the mixture of the ingredients.
NanoDays partners include NC State Nano Initiative, NC Science Olympiad, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC Museum of Life and Sciences, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, and the Nanotechnology Informal Science Education Network.

Simon Kolar (* 23. Februar 1990 in Schwetzingen) ist ein deutscher Koch, Entertainer, Unternehmer und Influencer mit polnischen Wurzeln. Er ist Botschafter des Institute of Culinary Art, sowie Gründer und Anführer der Guerilla Chefs, einem Netzwerk von jungen Köchen und Foodbegeisterten, die den Beruf des Kochs revolutionieren und wieder attraktiv machen wollen.

Leben
Als Sohn einer Gastronomenfamilie wurde er bereits in die Gastronomie hinein geboren. Mutter Maria Kolar, geboren in Breslau (Polen), kam mit 18 Jahren nach Deutschland und machte sich bereits in jungen Jahren selbstständig. Gemeinsam mit seinem Vater Peter Kolar führten sie erfolgreich mehrere Gastronomieobjekte im Raum Mannheim.

Nach seiner absolvierten mittleren Reife und dem Abitur an einem Wirtschaftsgymnasium zog es Kolar nach Polen. Dort studierte Kolar Hotel-, Tourismus- und Eventmanagement. Er leitete das Hochzeits- und Eventzentrum seiner Mutter. Mit 23 Jahren zog Kolar zurück nach Deutschland und eröffnete sein erstes Restaurant "Löwen" in Mannheim. Von hier aus begann die Karriere als Koch und Influencer.

Nach der Kooperation mit namhaften Unternehmen aus der Foodbranche wurde er zum Botschafter des Institute of Culinary Art in Hamburg. Bei einem Großevent im Berliner Hotel Estrel fand die Geburtsstunde der Guerilla-Chefs statt. Kolar bekochte hier die Elite der Foodbranche mit 20 Köchen, die sich am selben Tag kennen lernten und zuvor lediglich über Social Media kommunizierten.

Heute sind die Guerilla Chefs das schnellstwachsende Köchenetzwerk mit einer kostenfreien Online-Academy, der Guerilla-Chefs App, sowie einem deutschlandweit agierenden Bildungsnetzwerks in Kooperation mit dem Institute of Culinary Art.

Motown: Buildings of the...
Motown: Buildings of the Motor Industry
The beginnings of Motown: some motor industry buildings in Birmingham 1900-30.
Birmingham has come to symbolise the British motor industry: an English Detroit, "Motown" in Jonathan Meades' phrase. It was an early centre of the trade, although Coventry preceded it, with both Starley for motor cycles and Daimler for cars. However, by the mid 20th century, the Austin factory at Longbridge had become the largest car plant in the country, and Birmingham's tradition of general engineering took readily to the manufacture of motor components.
Birmingham's disdain for the past and its complex relationship with the motor car may account for the lack of interest in early motor industry survivals. There is, for example, no history of the motor industry in the city. For that and other reasons, this is tentative research, and any help and contributions will be very gratefully received.
The factory history here is largely drawn from Paul Collins & Michael Stratton, "British Car Factories From 1896" (Veloce, 1993).
Attributions are from the city building plans in the Birmingham Reference Library.

Sheriff's Deputies Arrest Two People
By Staff | October 20, 2015
One charged with larceny; the other with failure to appear
Putnam County Sheriff's deputies on Oct. 4 arrested a Westchester County woman after a series of cash-register thefts at the Garrison Golf Club. Meghan Gilbert, 21, of Buchanan, has been charged with grand larceny in the fourth degree, a felony.
Authorities allege that over the course of three weeks, while employed in the Pro Shop at the club, which is located on Route 9, Gilbert stole $1,150 from the register. She was arraigned before Town of Putnam Valley Justice Louis DiCarlo and released in her own recognizance pending an appearance in the Town of Philipstown Justice Court.
On Oct. 14 in Nelsonville, meanwhile, Deputy Brian Aisenstat made a traffic stop and recognized one of the passengers as a Brooklyn man wanted by Cold Spring Police for failing to appear to answer felony drug charges. After being arraigned in Village of Cold Spring Justice Court, Kevin B. Sola, 21, posted a $2,500 cash bail pending a November 18 court date.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
October 3, 2017 jamesblakeewing	Leave a comment
What is the power of a story? As much as people enjoy stories, it's often easy to dismiss stories, especially works of fiction, as things that hold little power or meaning. The self-important and pragmatic will often dismiss works of fiction as "just stories," the kind of material meant to teach children basic moral lessons or feed the minds of less high-minded people.
In the same way, Pan's Labyrinth's heroine, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is dismissed as "just" a child. Her mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil) tolerates Ofelia's obsession with fairy tales, dealing more with the physical strains of traveling to the countryside while pregnant. Carmen is giving birth to the song of her second husband, Vidal (Sergi Lopez), an important man given a military post with the important task of stamping out rebels living in the mountains after the Spanish Civil War.
Ofelia finds the country wondrous and claims she has seen a fairy. When the fairy comes into her room, she shows the creature what the storybook fairy is supposed to look like and it transforms into such a figure. Is this creature truly a fairy or is Ofelia's imagination running away with her? She follows the fairy to a nearby labyrinth and meets a creepy Faun (Doug Jones) who claims she is a long lost princess who must complete three perilous tasks to prove her soul is intact.
And while Ofelia's dark fairy tale story begins to bloom, it is interwoven with the historical drama of Spain's new fascist government and its attempt to squash the rebels. It's a story even darker and bloodier than Ofelia's fairy tale, a tale filled with its own twisted monsters and dangerous tasks.
Vidal is shaped by his own story as much as he wants to dismiss it. He carries a smashed pocket watch that he continually refers to. It is later discovered that it is his father's pocket watch and smashed to record the exact moment of his death for his son. Vidal denies to story, but it clearly shaped him, a tale of a man who wanted to pass on the story of his glorious death on the battlefield to his son.
As the film develops, Vidal is unmasked more and more as a man who desperately wants to continue his own story. Carmen comes to the mountains to birth their child and he makes it clear to the doctor he's more interested in saving the child, who he insists will be a boy, even if it means losing his wife. Vidal is interested in a son insofar as it ensures his story will be told to future generations.
This story leads him to do irrational things. He has his wife come to him so that he can witness his son's birth even though it risks both their lives, he discounts women and children in his own narrative, and he uses violence with little reason other than that he has the power to wield it. He sees himself as the hero of the story perhaps not so much from a moral standard, but from the standard that since he is the one in control, he believes can shape the narrative of how his story unfolds.
In contrast, Ofelia approaches her story with much more humility. She submits herself to the task, braves situations that place her in positions of vulnerability and weakness, and seeks to do the right thing as terrifying as that might be. She's not without flaw, but she is not controlling the story, she lets the story control her, move her, and shape her into something greater than herself.
Granted, one of the tensions of the film is whether or not the fantasy elements are the delusions of a child or, in fact, real. Writer/Director Guillermo del Toro thinks the fantasy is real but gives his audience space for interpretation, perhaps to allow those who lack the childish humility to submit to a fairy tale story to still participate in this tale.
Ofelia's story makes her stronger, allows her to overcome her limitations and act courageously in the face of a world that is horrific and terrifying. Her love of dark fairy tales equip her to face the darkness in the world and defy the monstrosity of human wickedness. Her childish humility to submit to the work and wonder of the story is what allows her to navigate the real-world problems facing her.
Stories are integral to the human experience. Whether it's family heritage or fairy tales, stories are passed down generation to generation. But the spirit we have about our own stories can be critical. For the self-important man, a name must be made, a seed must be continued, the story is about them. And such narcissism is self-destructive.
For those who submit to the story, to accept the flow of the narrative and embrace its mysteries, there is magic and meaning to be found. Perhaps it will not be great renown or a place in the history books, but a story told in whispers on the wind, a story that require digging and looking, a story that rattles one's bones and makes one just a bit stronger and braver than one was before.

9 April 2021 Participants of the public hearing
First Public Hearing of the Committee on the Economy, Regional Development, Trade, Tourism and Energy
The Committee on the Economy, Regional Development, Trade, Tourism and Energy organised a public hearing with the topic: Presentation of the Bill on Use of Renewable Energy Sources, Bill on Energy Efficiency and Rational Energy Use, Bill amending and modifying the Energy Law and the Bill amending and modifying the Law on Mining and Geological Research.
In his introductory speech, National Assembly Speaker Ivica Dacic pointed out that that, in its current mandate, the National Assembly is greatly focused on considering legislative drafts in public hearings, which he considers to be good practice that largely helps the Assembly and MPs obtain important information and hear the views of a wide range of interested parties, and ultimately make the best decision.
"These are perhaps the most important regulations considered by this National Assembly legislature, and I daresay, in the long term as well," said Dacic, adding that these bills regulate matters in areas of strategic, national importance, and he is therefore convinced that their assessment and the discussion on the solutions they propose, in this type of forum, is more than welcome.
Prof. Dr Zorana Mihajlovic, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Mining and Energy, presented the proposed laws on the public hearing's agenda: Bill on Use of Renewable Energy Sources, Bill on Energy Efficiency and Rational Energy Use, Bill amending and modifying the Energy Law and the Bill amending and modifying the Law on Mining and Geological Research.
She said that the draft laws, which the MPs are scheduled to discuss at the Eighth Session of the First Regular Session of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, are, first and foremost, harmonised with European standards, and are at the same time aimed at providing a good investment conducive to employee growth. According to the Minister, these laws represent the starting point to move from words to deeds, i.e. they are supposed to launch the process of energy transition in the field of energy and mining. It is precisely these four bills that should enable us to talk about decarbonisation and lead to climate-neutral development in the coming period.
To ensure energy safety and security, Serbia must take into account several different routes, all under the umbrella of decarbonisation and energy transition. The first is the production of electricity and heat from renewable energy sources, the second concerns mining and geological research and the third increase in energy efficiency, i.e. rational energy use.
She pointed out that the proposed laws had gone through a round of debates and procedures, which representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, relevant international institutions and the public took active part in.
She especially emphasised the importance of the Bill on Energy Efficiency and Rational Energy Use, which aims to reduce the production of electricity from fossil energy sources and solve the issue of underground coal exploitation. One novelty introduced by this Bill concerns the installation of solar panels on every building, company, house, sports and factory hall, to ensure an increased production of green energy and reduce the cost of "noble" electric power obtained from dirty energy sources. The Bill will also attract both state and private investments.
Mihajlovic said that the plan is to boost the share of energy and mining in GDP from today's total of 5.5% to between 7 and 9% in the next five years.
State Secretaries in the Ministry of Mining and Energy Jovanka Atanackovic and Zoran Lakicevic, as well as Assistant Ministers of Mining and Energy Zoran Ilic and Dejan Milijanovic, spoke about the bills as well, and the attending were also addressed by Milos Kuzman from the CONVENT Working Group for Negotiation Chapter 15 and Aleksandar Macura on behalf of the RES Foundation.
In his closing remarks, Committee Chairman Veroljub Arsic pointed out that this set of laws aims to protect Serbia and its population from the destruction of non-renewable natural resources and to prevent the pollution of the environment we live in. "I am sure that with these laws, when they come into force, we will contribute primarily to the life and health of our citizens and their quality of living. We secure stable energy efficiency for the economy and continue the unhindered development and reconstruction of the Republic of Serbia, without polluting the environment or polluting it to a much lesser extent than we have so far." He added that these processes will take time and the ultimate goal will not be achieved easily, but these laws are a good start, plus they would be economically viable and thus contribute to a higher standard of living.
The Committee Chairman concluded the public hearing and discussion at Committee sitting, and the Committee members will rule on the set of laws on Tuesday, 13 April 2021, at noon, in the continuation of the 11th sitting of the Committee on the Economy, Regional Development, Trade, Tourism and Energy.

I have been taking thymus now 3 times a week for about 2 months. Prior to that I was taking it twice a week. I just got my labs back and m liver enzymes were lower and my viral load was also down by 4 million pts. I did have elevated adrenals (cortisol). I was wondering if you might have any thoughts on this? My thyroid is low in some areas but I don't feel sluggish at all, in fact over the last several months I have lost almost 10 pds. I haven't told my doctor I am taking the thymus because he doesn't feel like there is any reliable safe source available. He said if there was he would recommend it to his patients.
I believe I was diagnosed with Hep-C in 2010. My viral load count was 850,000. They wanted to put me on Interferon with only a 50% chance of it working. Well I went to work on the internet and found out how horrible the side effects were. I found you website from one of the posts. Well here we are in 2013 and I just got another test. My liver function #'s are normal (AST AND ALT). My viral load number is 597,000.
Here's some good news: I got the latest blood work results back and things are looking good. Clearly the regimen is working, the one large concern is low platelets, down to 73. As for the rest of it where things were high they are lower and vice versa. All is well and I'm so very encouraged by it. Being able to actually see results means a lot to me.
Nice to hear from you. I actuallly could have called you a long while ago because his blood work has been good since early in this year but his doctor wanted to repeat the testing so she did 3 months later. Then she repeated all the tests about two weeks ago. I think she was just unable to believe that he was free of Hep C.

Australia – Continuous Disclosure Considerations For The Energy Sector: Fortescue Decision And Revised ASX Guidance.
Legal News & Analysis – Asia Pacific – Australia – Capital Markets
For energy companies listed on the ASX, the obligation to comply with the continuous disclosure regime can give rise to difficult judgements under real time pressure. There have been a number of recent developments which will be briefly summarised below. Links to more detailed consideration of those developments are also provided for those with an interest or key responsibility in the area.
Proposed new ASX Listing Rules and Guidance Notes
The ASX has recently proposed a revised Guidance Note on the continuous disclosure rules, intended to provide listed entities with clearer, more detailed information to assist them in understanding and complying with their continuous disclosure obligations.
ASX Listing Rule 3.1 requires listed entities to immediately inform ASX of any information concerning the entity that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity's securities. Various exceptions apply including trade secrets.
In a recent Podcast, Herbert Smith Freehills Partner Tony Damian highlights three of the key areas of welcome clarification:
the draft Guidance Note explains that the requirement to disclose market sensitive information "immediately" does not mean instantaneously, it means promptly and without delay;
it includes more detailed guidance on the confidentiality exception; and
ASX indicates that trading halts will be available where an entity indicates to ASX that it needs time to prepare and issue a market sensitive announcement.
The following example is provided by ASX by way of illustration: information that an entity has investigated and decided not to pursue a particular business opportunity may not be market sensitive, if the market has no knowledge or expectation that the entity is considering the opportunity. However, if the entity has previously announced that it was intending to pursue the opportunity, the fact that it has changed its mind may well be significant.
ASX has also released proposed new Listing Rules and Guidance Notes for Reserves and Resources Reporting for Mining and Oil & Gas Companies.
One key proposal for oil and gas companies is the requirement to report in accordance with the Society of Petroleum Engineers – Petroleum Resources Management System (SPE-PRMS)(A summary and update explaining the changes is available here).
Fortescue: High Court decision on misleading conduct and continuous disclosure
The High Court's Recent court decision in the appeal by Andrew Forrest and Fortescue Metals Group has been well publicised. The central issue was whether certain statements by Fortescue about its contracts with Chinese counterparties were misleading or deceptive.
The High Court considered that statements by Fortescue that it had entered into"binding contracts" with certain Chinese state-owned entities were not misleading simply because the contracts would not have been enforceable under Australian law.
The Court considered that a reasonable member of the commercial community would not necessarily have been led to believe that the agreements contained all of the necessary elements for enforcement in Australia. Indeed, it would not have been unreasonable for the audience to assume that the agreements were governed by foreign law.
The appeal also touched on the continuous disclosure regime.
ASIC argued that, if Fortescue's statements were misleading, Fortescue was bound by the continuous disclosure regime to correct the position. This argument was ultimately overtaken by the Court's conclusion that the statements were not misleading in the first place, and the Court did not take the opportunity to provide any real guidance on the operation of the regime.
Notwithstanding the outcome, the judgment provides a useful reminder that listed entities are required to correct any statements that are inaccurate, or become inaccurate due to later events.
Take-out points for Australian listed entities
The draft Guidance Note is worth reviewing by those responsible for discharging continuous disclosure obligations. It emphasises the importance of context in disclosure decisions and content.
The continuous disclosure rules require prior statements to be updated if they have become inaccurate. A periodic review of prior statements might be considered.
Be very careful when describing contractual relationships to the market. Complex contractual and joint venture relationships are a core feature of the energy sector. While the High Court adopted an interpretation of "binding contracts" in the Fortescue case which resulted in the failure of ASIC's allegations, the opportunity for expensive and distracting judicial and regulatory scrutiny could be avoided by ensuring disclosures are timely, accurate and complete.

Gov. John Kasich Wants to Create a Government Agency to Promote "Judeo-Christian Values" November 18, 2015 Hemant Mehta
Gov. John Kasich Wants to Create a Government Agency to Promote "Judeo-Christian Values"
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the Republican Presidential candidate who has tried to present himself as the sane alternative to his far right competitors, offered a proposal yesterday that you'd expect from someone like Mike Huckabee. He suggested creating a government program to spreading "Judeo-Christian values" around the world:
The new agency, which he hasn't yet named, would promote a Jewish- and Christian-based belief system to four regions of the world: China, Iran, Russia and the Middle East.
"We need to beam messages around the world" about the freedoms Americans enjoy, Kasich said in an interview with NBC News Tuesday. "It means freedom, it means opportunity, it means respect for women, it means freedom to gather, it means so many things."
He forgot what else Christian "values" have come to mean: Anti-gay bigotry, ignorance of science, pushing their personal beliefs on everyone else…
Whatever values he wants to spread, they're sure as hell not Christian values since the most prominent Christians in our society aren't known for spreading them.
Promoting freedom, opportunity, and respect for women? Those are human values. No Higher Power needed.
Even if he wanted to spread those values, how would he do it? Who would pay for the government promotion of these religious "values"? He doesn't say.
In the Party of Stupid, Kasich thinks of himself as the smart one. Yet ideas like these show how that's not saying very much.

Finding A Plus Size Wedding Dress Shouldn't Have To Be This Hard
It's time for a change.
TZR Weddings
For brides-to-be, finding the picture-perfect gown should, in theory, be an exciting, life-changing occasion. For women seeking a plus-size wedding dress, however, that's often not the case.
Despite progress made in recent years, the fashion industry at large remains slow to adequately serve the plus-size customer, especially in regards to the bridal market. While over 67% of American women are plus-size — with many planning to shop for a wedding dress at one point — the variety is still extremely limited. The process of in-store dress shopping often includes trying on samples, which may only go up to a certain size (and wedding dresses often run small anyways).
The issue is rooted far deeper than just hesitancy from designers, however. Like many issues facing the plus-size community today, the problem lies in the misconceptions of who these women truly are.
Age-old stereotypes exacerbate the issue. One being that plus-size women will never find love with another human — a narrative furthered in the media by the likes of Netflix's Insatiable or Sierra Burgess is a Loser, in which fatness can never be seen as desirable. In these films and others, love is either attainable only after weight loss, or as a rare exception to the "normal" romance stories fed to society, in which a one-in-a-million man can look beyond a woman's size to see her true beauty. Furthermore, there's the assumption that those who are dress shopping are exclusively looking for conservative styles as if the community at large is a monolith with one singular aesthetic.
When fashion blogger Sarah Chiwaya tied the knot back in 2012, the size-inclusive wedding dress options were underwhelming. "Everything was online-only if you could find it, but even then, there were no guarantees," she recalls. In-store bridal consultants proved to be no help, telling Chiwaya that she should be grateful for whatever she could find, regardless of whether or not it fit her aesthetic. As those very consultants ignored Chiwaya at one fitting, she fell off the platform and shattered her elbow due to the lack of assistance.
Needless to say, her bridal experience was anything but seamless.
"You need to treat plus customers with the same respect that everyone else is getting because this is already a very emotional and pressure-filled situation for women to be in," she says.
That emotional pressure isn't just limited to ironing out wedding details, there's also the pressure to look picture-perfect by the time you say "I Do." At the time, Chiwaya felt entrapped by the wedding industry's toxic diet complex, pressured by stylists, friends, and messages from society at large to lose weight and slim down before the big day. Like many other women, this led her to the belief that she was unworthy of finding her fantasy gown because she didn't fit the "traditional" bride's body type. But in the years since, things have changed: Plus-size women have more of a voice, more of a presence, and more of a determination to fight for the equal treatment they deserve.
What hasn't changed much, however, is the bridal industry's reluctance to adequately serve them.
Having designers and stylists who genuinely understand the plus-size bridal experience is crucial, and that includes creating space for brides to be part of the process. "If you want someone to come in here and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a gown, I should be able to try it on my body and see that visual," says influencer Sabrina Servance, who is getting married in Florida this month. "I shouldn't have to envision it by putting a size 10 around my neck."
Blogger Rosey Blair, who is currently in the midst of planning her own wedding, explains that plus-size brides must be more "flexible," amending to the constraints of the stylist.
"I wish there were more opportunities for us to try on a gown before actually purchasing it," she says, describing the difficulties of having to order a dress for an additional cost of shipping without seeing how it fits prior — spending extra without the personalized experience that often comes with shopping for wedding gowns. "You have to be okay with an exorbitant amount of money kind of just floating around in the air."
Blair found that the in-store options available were the more traditional — and, quite frankly, lackluster — style gowns for plus-size brides. "I think that [designers] still feel that we would like to cover up our bodies," she says. "There's a big misconception that we're just super safe when it comes to our fashion choices."
That lack of style diversity complicated her dress-seeking process, forcing her to work harder and research smarter to eventually find her perfect gown (which yes, she had to order an off-the-rack style and customize it with a local tailor).
That's not to say plus-size wedding dress options aren't available. On the contrary, the number is growing season after season, from brands like BHLDN and popular shops like David's Bridal. Online retailers like ASOS and Azazie have also joined the bandwagon. TORRID even launched their Ever After Bridal Collection in 2019, featuring styles in sizes 10-30 for under $400. Some other options to explore: Halseene, Studio Levana, Lane Bryant, Kiyonna, and Strut Bridal. Still, most of the options today still skew more mass-market versus luxury designer.
For Justin Alexander Warshaw, the CEO and Creative Director of Justin Alexander, successful growth has come in partnering directly with boutiques and shops to educate and encourage them to provide a range of sizes in-store for brides to try on. "Regardless of size, from 2 to 32, every woman wants a fit that's going to be designed for their body," he says.
This upcoming season, Justin Alexander will be reconstructing their size charts to better reflect modern women and be more inclusive of today's various body shapes. Warshaw's hope is that this will help to simplify the fitting process, as is often a major complication when it comes to larger bodies who can all individually carry weight differently.
But, even with proactive change, Warshaw explains that only 95% of the brand's offerings are available in extended sizes because of an under-discussed design issue: fabric length.
"Unfortunately, the fabrics that we're purchasing are not always available in widths that wouldn't require additional seams or changes to the design. We can customize and create a dress in that size 32, but it would require us to create extra seams, and that's sometimes difficult to communicate down to the boutique and stylist level."
The issue points to a broader one: Designers can only push so far; the system must evolve and change.
Curinne Infantolino of New York's plus-size bridal boutique Ivory & Main notes that catering specifically to plus-size clients helped brides-to-be open their eyes to the possibilities that they otherwise never would have imagined — thanks to the expertise and wide range of options available than elsewhere.
"That's actually the best part," Infantolino says. "They come in thinking they have to wear an A-line or ball gown, and then seeing themselves actually fit perfectly into a fit and flare gown is mood-changing." Adding, "At our store, we have over 300 options. So when you have this wide selection available to you, why not take the opportunity to push your comfort zone and try them all on?"
Despite its clear challenges, bridal shopping can indeed be a pleasurable experience for brides of all sizes. Remember to research beforehand while keeping an open mind, as knowledge is truly power in the hands of a bride-to-be.
"Start out with a shape that you really love, and then keep in mind that you could get in contact with a tailor or dressmaker to make it really, really special," Blair says. "It's obviously going to take more work, but just know that you can start at a base level and then add on from there."
And Blair's most important tip: Rely on your core circle to fight for you to be the most beautiful bride you can be. "I personally didn't know what an emotional time I would have [trying] on dresses in person, she explains. "I think that a lot of stylists still use phrases like 'problem areas' or bring up that conversation of wanting to cover up. And because you're already so overwhelmed with emotion, you can't really step up and do that self-advocacy in the moment. Bring a bridesmaid or a friend or family member that is prepared to advocate on your behalf."
Chiwaya adds, "Research as much as possible, and remember that you are there to find something that makes you feel beautiful. Don't let anyone steer you in a direction you don't like. The options do exist out there, and if you feel you're not being respected, take your money elsewhere."


Ouch!! That resonates too strongly with my experience. What I was afraid to know. What he could not follow through. Yes. Does it mean yes, I agree Or does it mean I hear you, but that's all. How could I let myself not understand what was not being said? I wanted to trust, I wanted him to choose me, to choose to be partners. I wanted him to fight for us when I knew he was not a fighter. We both played what I felt was dangerous. Until I could no more.

Listen to Prince + Zooey Deschanel's New Song 'FALLINLOVE2NITE' [AUDIO]
Michelle McGahan Published: March 17, 2014
In one of the most interesting pop music pairings we've ever heard of, Prince and Zooey Deschanel have teamed up for Prince's new song, 'FALLINLOVE2NITE.' The funky tune, which the duo also performed on last night's episode of 'New Girl,' was released today, March 17.
While the duet might be a little unexpected, Prince's trademark falsetto vocals and Deschanel's rich voice perfectly compliment each other and make the song sound super smooth. 'FALLINLOVE2NITE' has a retro vibe with a catchy, danceable beat that just makes you want to get up and groove, just like the lyrics predict.
"The moon threatened to dance her out of her shoes," Prince beckons on one particularly memorable line.
