What sizes of wedding dresses do you have to try on?
​
We try our very best to have wedding dress samples in sizes that every bride can try. We have dresses in stock from size 6 to size 32. Bridal gown sizes tend to run small though, so don't be surprised if we pull a size or two higher than what you would normally wear.
Do you sell gowns off-rack?
​
Yes we do sell gowns off rack! Perfect for brides whose wedding is just around the corner. We also have our "OFF RACK GEM" section, where you will find wedding dresses that are amazing both in look and price! So make sure to ask your stylist for those hidden gems!
When should I order my gown?
​
Standard lead time to order a gown is 4-6 months. You want to give yourself 1-2 months time for alterations. We recommend to start the process 9-12 months before the wedding to avoid rush fee and stress!
