How far in advance do I need to order my wedding dress?
In order to ensure you’re not rushed with your decision-making, we recommend that you begin dress shopping 9-12 months in advance of your wedding date, purchasing 8-10 months in advance of your wedding date. This is the ideal, not the absolute, and we can almost always accommodate rush order.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Try to wear flesh-coloured, seamless underwear that doesn’t cut in. We will have shoes available for you to try with the sample gowns, but if you already have shoes you would like to wear on your wedding day, bring these along.
What does made-to-order mean?
Made-to-order means that there is no stock of your gown and the making of the gown begins once you place your order. The most important thing to note is that made-to-order gowns are ordered to your closest numerical dress size (dependent on designer), based on measurements taken at your appointment. The gown is not made to exact measurements (which is referred to as "made-to-measure"). In order to achieve the perfect fit, we suggest the assistance of a seamstress or tailor who we highly recommend.
