Romance in Style

Great message, and an important one. One of the best movies Hallmark has put out in quite some time. A believable pairing with real chemistry between the leads. I really wish writers would aim to get away from including somewhat awkward dance scenes as filler in every film, this one included. Also, the ending felt a bit contrived, especially with the naysayers suddenly seeing the light, but all in all, very enjoyable.

Juicy Elliot proves she is more than just the supporting character she plays on Grey's Anatomy. A sweet story that focuses more on the body positivity side than it does the romance. It's a sweet and refreshing modern take on Cinderella and honestly, it took me a while to catch on to that. The ending wrapped up a tad confusing but overall this is worth the watch.

Hallmark is finally making movies that bring a true connection with the characters and to the audience. This movie was enjoyable to watch, and the chemistry between the main two actors is sweet and romantic. I'm so glad Hallmark is trying new stories. They made this one into gold.

Unlike the one poor review that has been written thus far, I give high praises to this film. Here is a beautiful story of how the fashion world should be ... and is slowly becoming. As we all know, these major changes do not occur overnight.

This is a great reflection of those who are instrumental in making these changes evolve in reality.

Yes, there is a romantic relationship evolving with Ella and Derek It is great that it is not the over the top style that too many Hallmarks are!

It is more realistic with how quality relationships evolve.

... A small take on the Cinderella story ... her name is Ella after all! :)

Jaicy (Ella) played this role very well ... Confident, but not over confident ... after all she is standing up to the prejudices that exist in the fashion industry. What does one expect? Size 16 is not that much bigger than 14!

And I can vouch that the sizes in numbers appear to have come down to be smaller than they were years ago! So, 16 is most likely the 14 of years ago! Great to see skill admired and rewarded.

Great to see a sound character at the helm of this fashion company, Benjamin (Derek) to assist with these changes. A comment was made by a reviewer of her dislike of Ben in the Virgin River series. In that series he was becoming a good person as he learned from his mistakes. He plays the role in this film very well and believable! Here he is a good person from the start.

Hurray to such a relationship starting, with both of them spearheading the progressive and quality future changes in the fashion industry! Perhaps a sequel? This warrants one much better than some others that Hallmark has done ... and ensure the quality remains the same in the sequel!

Enjoy everyone!

This had the makings of a great movie. I think the 9s and 10s previously given as ratings are from all of the overweight women. I say that as the size 16 woman that this movie is geared towards. While I do think the fashion industry caters to the Size 0s of the world and I love the idea of pushing the industry to actually change, I do not think it is any healthier to push obesity, which is what Size 16 is, in the name of "body positivity". Again, this comes from a woman who knows her Size 16 needs to be more like a Size 6. I love the leads from Grey's and Code Black and was excited to see them together. I didn't see the chemistry everyone talked about even though they are both great actors. The writers made it VERY difficult to like Ella. She was so rude and condescending to the guy she supposedly liked that I couldn't figure out why he'd ever want to be with her anyways. I had higher hopes given the actors, but this was a miss.
