For many reasons the fashion industry has centered itself on the beauty of a minority of women — short and slender — but this is changing. Today women of all shapes and sizes are challenging the world to find them anything but beautiful, and with this confidence comes the desire to make their wedding day — that day of days — the most beautiful of all.
Chamein Canton uses her unique mix of native New York sophistication and a touch of Southern charm (a gift from her mother) combined with her considerable experience in the wedding industry to address the needs of full figured brides around the world. The result is Down that Aisle in Style! – A Wedding Guide for Full Figured Women. Her book focuses on the resources, advice and encouragement (generously mixed with photographs of beautiful full figured women) that will help women around the world plan one of the most important days of their lives — their wedding day.

Review by Midwest Book Review for Down That Aisle in Style!: A Wedding Guide for the Full-figured Woman

The average clothing manufacturer sells to a size six, but the average American woman is a size sixteen. When it comes to that very specialized area of clothing designs called the wedding dress, the bride needs to look her very best within traditional gown parameters and doesn’t need the stress of going through the usual guess work associated with choosing clothing that will be stylish and appropriate for full-figured women. In “Down That Aisle In Style: A Wedding Guide For Full-Figured Women”, Chamein Canton draws upon her many years of experience and expertise in the wedding industry to provide sound advice and moral-boosting encouragement on how to use the fundamentals of design and style to acquire the perfect gown for that perfect day. Profusely illustrated and with a truly “user friendly” text that is both informed and informative (and occasionally inspiring!), “Down That Aisle In Style” should be considered `must’ reading for full-figured brides-to-be. It will save them aggravation and anxiety when searching for – and finding – that ideal wedding gown.

Down That Aisle in Style!: A Wedding Guide for the Full-figured Woman covers EVERYTHING a “curvy” brides needs to know to look her best on her special day. The book is absolutely beautiful and makes a great engagement gift.
Chamein covers everything from head-to-toe, including choosing the proper undergarments to hold you together for that special day. I now have a book that I can refer to my e-newsletter readers who are getting married and do not know where to start.
You WILL NOT be disappointed with this beautiful book which currently hold a prominent space on my coffee table (smile).
