Ordering
When should I
order my wedding gown?
It takes about 6 months

alterations. If you do not have that much time, let us know and
we will be happy to discuss options for your specific time frame.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept Cash, Check, MasterCard and
Visa in the store or over
the phone. As well
as payment, we ask for professional measurements, done here in the
store or at another formal wear retailer.
Can you mail things to me?
We'd be happy to mail or ship
gowns/shoes/accessories to
you. Please contact us for further help.
Do
you accept returns?
We
are unable to accept returns as our
gown companies don't
allow for us to return or exchange gowns.
Can
I get extra fabric?
Most companies allow for 1-3 yards
of extra fabric to be purchased with your order. Please contact
us for pricing.

Are alterations included
in the price of your gowns?
No,
the prices of our gowns do not
include alterations.
Each customer is responsible for the payment of
alterations. As a convenience, we have arranged for a seamstress
to take appointments in our store. She will give you an estimate
before she begins. Please call us to set up an appointment.
What
do alterations cost?
The price of alterations depends on
how significant the alterations are. During each alterations
appointment, the seamstress will give an estimate for that particular
dress.
