I Found the Gown is a reality TV show featured on TLC from 2012, following the DeAngelos, a family that runs VOWS Bridal Outlet in Boston. The show starred Leslie Deangelo, Rick Deangelo, and Barbara Schofield, who all bring their unique personalities and expertise to help future brides find the wedding dress of their dreams at a fraction of the cost.

Leslie Deangelo is the face of the store, the expert bridal consultant, and brings her high-energy personality to the show, playing a pivotal role in helping brides find their dream dresses. Rick Deangelo is the unsung hero of the store, a master tailor with a quirky sense of humor and deep passion for perfection, ensuring every gown fits like a glove. Finally, Barbara Schofield is the store's owner, a savvy businesswoman, and sharp negotiator who sources designer overstocked gowns for the store.

The show follows several brides-to-be each episode, all on the hunt for their perfect wedding dress. They are usually on tight budgets and have not found luck in traditional bridal stores. The DeAngelos understand the financial struggle that comes with planning a wedding and work tirelessly to provide affordable options without sacrificing quality. Every bride that walks through the door gets personalized attention, professional advice, and ample options to choose from.

We see brides from different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, and through their stories, we get a glimpse into the different styles, cultures, and preferences of each individual. We follow brides as they navigate the store, trying on different styles and going through both the highs and lows of finding the perfect dress.

Throughout the show, we also get a glimpse into the daily workings of the store, the dynamics of the family, and the hustle that goes into running a thriving bridal outlet. We see Barbara working behind-the-scenes hunting down new stock of designer dresses, while Rick works magic by adjusting gowns to fit each bride's body type perfectly.

The show is full of emotional moments: teary-eyed brides who finally find their dream dress and grateful brides who can now afford to say yes to the dress. The show also highlights how the DeAngelos go above and beyond for their clients, such as when they repaired a dress that had been ruined by Hurricane Sandy or when they transformed a mother's wedding dress into a stunning gown for her daughter.

I Found the Gown is an engaging and heartwarming reality show that brings together fashion, family, and emotion into each episode. It empowers brides-to-be to be confident in their body types, budget, and personal style, and shows how much attention to detail and work goes into the bridal industry. While the show is about finding the perfect dress, it's also about the journey, the people, and the memories that are made during the process.

Overall, I Found the Gown is a must-watch for anyone interested in fashion, weddings, and heartfelt stories. The mix of personalities, cultures, struggles, and moments of joy makes it an entertaining and inspiring reality show.

I Found the Gown is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (44 episodes). The series first aired on August 24, 2012.
