Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring with me to my appointment?

We ask that you bring spandex shorts and a strapless bra, or a bra that the straps can be easily tucked in. This will make the dressing process more comfortable as we assist you.

​

What should I expect at my appointment?

Short dress appointments are an open shopping experience. You and your entourage are welcome to shop and try on dresses just as normal store! Of course, our stylists are always willing to help you! 

Long dress appointments are a one-on-one tailored experience! You and your guests will be assigned a dedicated stylist to help you find your dress! Dresses in the size and budget you provide are selected before you arrive. Our stylist will help you into and out of the dresses, while your guests sit back and relax! Your appointment is all about YOU- finding your perfect dress, and the unforgettable journey that goes with it! 

 

Can I bring my friends and family?

Absolutely! We do recommend bringing a maximum of 2 people with you to your formal dress appointments. For short dress appointments, the more the merrier! Bring a friend, or bring six!


Why do I need to provide a size and budget?

We like to be prepared! We tailor each appointment to you! We pull dresses in your size and budget before you arrive so we are ready to get going!

​

Will any one else at my school have the same dress?

For long dresses-We sure hope not! We do our best to only buy one dress of each style for each season! So if we have it in size 4, we don’t have that exact dress in any other size! We may have a similar style or the same dress in a different color, but not the exact dress! 

For short dresses- Dresses come in multi-packs. There is a chance that someone from your school will have the same great taste as you do. We do not track short dress sales. BUT, if you love it, rock it! Don’t worry about what anyone else has! 

 

I wear a size 8 in my normal clothes, what is my dress size?

Our dresses usually run on the smaller side, so if you normally wear a size 8, your dress size would be a size 10. Don’t worry, if you tell us the wrong size, we will make adjustments as you try on at your appointment.

 

If I find a dress and I am unable to purchase it at my appointment, will you hold it for me?

Sorry, we are unable to hold any dresses. If you do not purchase at the time of your appointment, there is no guarantee the dress will still be there when you are ready to purchase.

 

Do I need an appointment to shop short dresses?

We are open Saturday’s 10-1pm for short dress shopping. We welcome you to come shop the store durning those hours. If that time does not fit in your schedule, you can make an appointment that works best for you! Schedule an appointment for yourself, or one with all your friends!

 

Do I need an appointment to shop long dresses?

Yes! We only show and sell our gowns durning appointments. You work one-on-one with a stylist to find your perfect dress!
