Frequently Asked Questions for Dress & Attire
Does a client need to schedule an appointment? How do the client appointments work?
How long is an appointment? Our appointments last 1.5 hrs usually, we do not mind you spending longer but need to be courteous of our other brides who have been scheduled after you. If you schedule for Saturday, we will let you know when our time is up and if you haven't found your dress, we will schedule for you to come in for a private appointment during a time when we are not as busy. We prefer you schedule an appointment on Friday & Saturday since we hate for our brides to have to wait. We will accomodate you to the best of our ability if you are unable to schedule an appointment. Private appointments can be scheduled for Sunday or Monday or Wednesday evening. 3. How long does it take to order Bridesmaid dresses? Your bridesmaids are welcome to come into our salon for measurements to order their dresses or if they are out of town most salons will measure for free. Once ordered bridesmaids dresses will arrive in 10 to 12 weeks. We suggest allowing at least one month for alterations. 4. What are the requirements to order your Wedding dress, Bridesmaid or Mother of the Bride dress? After being measured a deposit of 50% is required to order any dress. All bridesmaid dresses should be ordered at the same time in order to be all the same dye lot. Remember your Mother of the Bride dress takes 10 to 12 weeks once ordered, don't wait until the last minute!

Tips and Advice
Count your Cost
When calculating your dress budget, don’t forget to factor in the cost of your veil and headpiece -- which can run from $50 to $350 -- as well as your shoes, lingerie, and jewelry. Also, keep in mind that almost all gowns need alterations, which will add to the bottom line.   Whether your motivation comes from the "something old, something new..." tradition, or the "I’m-going-to-do-this-MY-way" credo, accessories are the easiest way to add a few unexpected touches of personal style to your look.

Dress Codes

If you will be married in a church or synagogue , Ask your officiant about specific body-coverage requirements before you start shopping. Or our seamstress can make you a wrap or shawl for the ceremony. ( We also have the cute marabou feather wraps!)

 Play Hooky

We know you’re busy, but if at all possible take time off during the week to begin your hunt -- you’ll get more of the Bridal Consultant’s  time and attention than you would on a busy Saturday.  We also schedule Bridal appointments for Wednesday evening, if needed.

Ways to Save

Want to save? Shop sample sales for floor models(dresses that have been tried on) sold at discounts. We are always willing to help our Brides get their dream dress & if we can discount the sample we will.

Open Your Mind

When you’re in the bridal salon, don’t eliminate anything at first glance. Even though certain styles work best on certain body types, don’t let the rules narrow your search too much. It helps to try on all different kinds of dresses, and then to decide which shape and style you look and feel best in. So if the salesperson brings you something she says you must try -- try it, even if you detest the way it looks on the hanger. Many a bride has ended up going ga-ga for a gown the salesperson had to persuade her to try on.

Sleep On It

Even after you think you’ve found your gown, take a day to be absolutely sure it’s the one for you. Since bridal gowns are custom-made, most salons put a no-return policy in their contracts.
 

Trust Your Instincts
 

If you have to be reassured that the dress looks great on you, it’s probably not the one. Remember, this is YOUR wedding, not your friends, so make sure you decide which dress is your favorite.  This is about a feeling, which dress makes you feel like the Bride.  Is this how you pictured yourself looking as a bride? Can you really envision yourself walking down the aisle in this gown? Can you put yourself in the moment.   If not, take it off and move on. 

Take Proper Measures


When you’re ready to order your gown, the store will take your measurements: bust, waist, and hips. Each manufacturer has its own measurement chart, and this is what the store will use to determine your size. A knowledgeable store will know how a particular designer’s gowns are supposed to fit. Ask to see the sizing chart so you can have a better understanding of the way it works. And make sure the correct size gets ordered, using your largest measurement as a guide. One thing to remember: bridal gowns run small, so don’t be alarmed should your final size measurement jump up a number or two. Remember, size is determined by your measurements but the final decision lies with the Bride.

Focus on the Fit

Know, too, that every dress needs alterations to fit precisely to your frame. When your gown is altered correctly, you should be able to move comfortably with everything staying in place. Alterations can be as simple as taking in the waist and shortening the hem; in more complex alterations, the sleeves may be abbreviated, the bodice taken in, and lace or beads added. 

Go Neutral

Bridal designers advise wearing undergarments in a tone close to your skin color. We do have bras & panties available for purchase.  The more similar they are to your coloring, the less likely you’ll see them through your dress. 

Fit In Fittings

You’ll probably have at least two or three fittings, which you’ll schedule with the seamstress when you purchase your gown; more may be necessary, so leave ample time before the wedding. You should also ask for a written alterations estimate at the time of purchase, since this service is not included in the cost of your gown.
