\"Representation is really important in fashion, so having an event like this during Fashion Week really calls attention to the fact that size-inclusivity is an issue that needs to be addressed and that women of all body types, all shapes and all sizes should feel comfortable attending fashion week and participating in the fashion industry,\" Brown said.

Gardner weighed in on the importance of creating dresses for all body types, saying, \"My goal is to make sure that every dress is made beautifully and fits perfectly no matter what size you are.\"

McGrady knows firsthand the struggle of finding the perfect wedding dress as a recent bride herself. She said the search for the dream dress is hard enough, even without the feeling that brides in catalog images don't look like you.

\"My bridal experience was a little different than others. For me, it was hard to shop for a dress. It was hard to see myself in the bridal magazines,\" McGrady told \"GMA.\"

\"I absolutely wish that I had this type of event to look to when I was younger because it would show me that I was OK exactly how I was,\" she added.

She said she hopes the event will encourage other bridal brands to follow in step so that all women might be able to \"say yes to the dress\" like she did.

\"This will catapult future bridal shows,\" McGrady said.
