New Episodes of SAY YES TO THE DRESS: RANDY KNOWS BEST premiere Friday, January 4 at 10pm

TLC's popular series SAY YES TO THE DRESS wraps up the year with a new season on Friday, December 28 at 9pm. Taped inside the world's premier bridal salon, Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC, SAY YES TO THE DRESS goes behind-the-scenes and uncovers the hurdles every staff member faces to make each bride completely satisfied on what may be the single most important day of her life. With the leading bridal experts in the business, the new season of SAY YES TO THE DRESS continues to feature emotional brides, opinionated entourages, and dream dresses.

In the season premiere, iconic comedienne and celebrity fashionista Joan Rivers appears with no shortage of attitude when she comes along to support her good friend's daughter Allie as she tries to find her perfect dress. Allie is looking for a dress for her beach wedding but ends up facing hefty criticism from the couch. Mom and Joan take matters into their own hands and hit the floor to find a dress that meets their criteria. Joan pulls a Reem Acra gown that's just shy of $10,000 and seems to be a hit, but will Allie say yes to the dress?
