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

“As a plus-size bride 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,” explains Arletta.

Founder Gia Sinatra recounts her desire to create a bridal collection and how meaningful it is to see it come to life. “I have been wanting to launch a bridal collection since I launched the brand in 2022 and got married that same year,” says Sinatra. “This collection is very special to me because we are giving plus-size brides beautiful, quality options to wear for their special events, and doing it alongside Emma is a dream.”
