• What if the sample dress doesn't fit me?

  • Answer: Our sample dresses come in a variety of sizes, but they may not fit you perfectly. Don't worry! Our consultants will expertly pin and clip the sample to give you a better idea of how the dress will look. We also have tools and padding to help simulate the correct fit.

 

• What underwear should I wear to the fitting?

  • Answer: We recommend wearing nude, seamless underwear and a strapless bra. This will help create a smooth silhouette under the dresses. If you plan on wearing shapewear on your wedding day, it’s a good idea to bring that along as well.

 

• Do I need to bring my wedding shoes to the fitting?

  • Answer: No, you don't need to bring your wedding shoes to the initial fitting. We'll focus on the dress style and fit. Once your dress arrives and we begin alterations, you'll need to bring your wedding shoes to ensure the hemline is perfect.

 

• How many people can I bring with me to the appointment?

  • Answer: We recommend bringing 2-3 people whose opinions you trust. It’s important to keep the group small to ensure you stay focused and avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many opinions.

 

• Can I bring children to the appointment?

  • Answer: While we love children, bridal appointments can be long, and we want to ensure that your experience is as stress-free and focused as possible. Finding childcare during your appointment gives you the time and space to make this important decision on the day.

 

• Do I have to make a decision on my dress during the appointment?

  • Answer: Yes, we encourage you to be prepared to make a decision during your appointment. Wedding dresses are made to order, and production times can vary and be lengthy. Delaying your decision could impact your timeline, so it's best to come ready to say "yes" to the dress!

We can discuss your options and will schedule a follow-up appointment, but availability might be limited, along with the availability of the dress you love.

 

• Can I take photos during the appointment?

  • Answer: We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the appointment. Our goal is to ensure that you fully experience each dress in the moment without distractions. Often, photos taken in-store under different lighting conditions can distort the true look and feel of the dress, which might lead to confusion later on, after all how often do you find yourself re-taking a selfie until you settle on a shot you’re happy with? We want you to remember how you felt in the dress rather than relying on potentially misleading images. Rest assured, we’ll work closely with you to help you find the perfect gown and make sure you're confident in your choice.
