Women today are facing so much uncertainty—about life and the future. The need to pivot is stronger than ever, but many of us feel powerless to change or simply don’t know how to take that essential first step. For Lori Allen, business owner, breast cancer survivor, and star of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, these vital life lessons are the inspiration for her new book. Say Yes to What’s Next is more than just a guide for our best tomorrows, it’s the beginning of a life-makeover movement for women of all ages.
Lori Allen’s advice stems from the ups and downs of her personal life: from building one of the biggest and busiest bridal mega salons in the country to navigating her position in the sandwich generation and caring for a husband battling cancer during her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Lori shares her life experiences with confidence, wisdom, and her signature humor to model how today’s women—especially those of us approaching age fifty and beyond—can live out the coming years as the best of our lives.
Whether you’re feeling invisible, ignored, or like your voice doesn’t matter, or you’re simply uncertain about what’s next, Lori offers advice on what to do, what not do, and how to see your way through the unexpected.
In Say Yes to What’s Next, Lori addresses crucial issues, such as
- how to pivot, embrace the unexpected, and live out your passion
- how to practice essential self-care that enriches your mind, body, and spirit
- how to make space for yourself and your priorities while still being a caring partner, parent, and friend
- how to maintain a close circle of girlfriends at every age and stage of life
- how to take charge of your money and attain financial freedom and security
Say Yes to What’s Next is a life makeover and therapy session all in one, as Lori helps women from all walks of life shape their futures with confidence, style, and sass. This is your opportunity to get real with yourself, to give yourself the truest form of self-care by putting yourself first. Discover your potential by saying yes to what’s next.

Each Designer has a unique manufacturing schedule. This schedule varies throughout the year for each item based upon seasonal demand. Each Designer’s current manufacturing schedule is displayed on the product detail page.
The manufacturing clock begins ticking once we order the items from the Designer. This normally occurs within 24 hours of sale.
IMPORTANT: Be sure you refer to the Designer measurement to size chart to pick your size. Do not simply select your normal dress size. Once the order is received we will reach out to review the size you selected. Once the order is placed with a Designer it CANNOT be changed so we will wish to verify the selected size prior to the order being submitted.
Most of the gowns offered are sized smaller than normal street apparel. Meaning with most Designers you will need a size larger than you normally wear in everyday street apparel.
Desginers provide measurement size charts as your guide in choosing the correct size. Look for the size chart on the product detail page.
Measure carefully, preferably by an professional seamstress. Review this “How to measure” video for sizing explanations.
It is important that you measure properly. We can help guide you in this area, but we cannot choose the size for you. Proper fit is subjective and individual - one person may like a dress tighter than another. You will need to choose the size you feel most comfortable with, given your measurements and fit preferences. Remember also, every designer has their own size chart.
Sizes usually cannot be changed on an order once it has been placed. The final choice for size is yours. The information provided is intended to help you make the best choice.
We are eager to provide assistance in determining your size. You can email netsales@bridalsbylori.com, however, when we give advice on sizing, we are basing it on the information you’ve provided – since we are not taking the measurements ourselves, we have to assume that the measurements provided are correct, and that is what we are basing our recommendations upon.
Measuring tips: The best way to get accurate measurements and find the best fit is to enlist a professional seamstress to help you. Measure your bust at the fullest part with your arms down by your side. Then measure your waist at its smallest part. Remember gown measurements are at your natural waist, not necessarily where your jeans sit. You should measure your hips around their fullest part. View our Measuring Guide
