*Do I
need an appointment to try on wedding gowns?
Appointments are highly recommended, although we always
try our best to accommodate walk-ins. Please feel free
to bring any pictures of gowns you may like.
*How long does it take to order a bridal gown?
For brand name designers, depending on the time of year,
a dress can take 4-6 months to come in. However, some
designers have quicker delivery times or offer a rush
service.
*Do all dresses need to be ordered, or can I buy one of
the samples?
All the dresses in our store do need to be ordered,
however we do have an extensive selection of samples
that may be purchased if you need a gown immediately. If
your wedding is soon rush charges may be available,
depending on the designer, factory schedules, and time
constraints. There is always a charge for rushing in a
gown, which is determined by each designer.
*How much of a deposit is needed to order a gown?
At least 50% of the total purchase is due in order to
order a gown. The balance is due when the gown comes in.
*Are alterations included with my gown?
Alterations are an additional charge. Alteration charges
vary depending on the style of gown, the fabric, detail,
and the alterations needed.
*What do I need at the alteration fitting?
You will need any undergarment being worn on the wedding
day including the bra, slip, spanx, and shoes.
*How many fittings will I need?
Once you have received notice that your gown has arrived
you may come in during the week to try on the gown and
see how it is fitting. About a month before the wedding
we will schedule another fitting where we actually start
the alterations. In total you will have about 3-5
fittings before you pick up your gown.
*I will be traveling with my wedding gown. What is the
best way to transport it?
If you're flying, please contact your airline. Ask if
you can store your gown in the first-class compartment.
They'll have room to hang the gown in its bag. Never
pack your gown in your suitcase.
If you're driving, you can lay the gown in its bag, of
course across the back seat.
If you're traveling with your bridal gown, you may also
want to have any final pressing / steaming done at your
destination.
*Can I get a fabric swatch?
You can request a fabric swatch for bridal and
bridesmaid gowns when you place your order. Dessy and
After six swatches can be ordered on their website.
*How long does it take to order a bridesmaids gown?
Bridesmaid gowns take about 3 1/2 months to come in, but
can also be ordered on a rush for an additional charge
that varies according to manufacturer and how quickly
you need the gown. It usually varies from $15 - $30 per
dress.
*How long does it take to order a flower girl dress?
Some flower girl gowns can arrive within 2 weeks, others
can take up to 1 1/2 months.

cleaning and preservation?

bridal gowns at a discounted rate for our customers.

accessories you would like to have included.
