FAQ's



How far in advance should I shop for my gown?

We usually recommend shopping at least 6-8 months ahead.  It is ideal to have that much time to allow for any alterations your gown may need.  Please inquire if your wedding date is close so we can better assist you.

 

Are appointments required for trying on wedding gowns?

NO! Walk-ins are always welcome and an appointment is never needed to try on any of our gowns.

 

What should I bring to my appointment?

As with any specialty garment, you’ll need to wear your own undergarments when trying on.  Other things you may want to bring include photos of the style of gown you are most interested in and one or two people to help you decide.  It is important to bring someone whose opinion you value, so you can decide what looks best on you.

 

How many people should I bring to my appointment?

We recommend that you bring one or two people who are key in helping you choose your wedding gown.  Since we are a small store, we are not able to accommodate large groups and generally find that too many people make it hard for you to decide on what gown YOU love

 

Do you have recommendations for alterations?

Yes we do.  We have a qualified seamstress on staff.  They are experienced in bridal alterations and will gladly meet with you for consultations before beginning any work.  Please keep in mind that most gowns will need some alterations to fit properly.

 

My plan is to lose weight before my wedding.  Should I purchase a smaller sized gown than I presently wear?

This is not recommended.  A gown is always easier to be taken in, than let out.  Generally, alterations cannot increase the size of a gown, they can, however, make a slightly loose gown fit perfectly.
