Why is my wedding dress size so much larger than my regular dress size?
Wedding gown sizes typically run one or two sizes smaller than street clothes, so try not to get hung up on the number. Do not fixate on the actual size but instead on how your measurements compare to the particular line on the specific designer’s size chart.
HELP! I’m getting married less than 4 months – is it too late to get a gown from you?
Don’t worry- we’ve got options! You can definitely purchase a gown “off-the-rack,” which means you’ll be purchasing a sample that has been previously tried on. These gowns are in excellent condition and are typically reduced in price. We also have some manufacturers that have extremely quick rush options, or some stock options! Give us a call, preferably on a weekday, so we can be as thorough as possible!
