Bridal tends to run really, really small. Because of that, the clothing size for your everyday clothes will probably be smaller than your bridal gown. Don’t stress – no one is going to see your tag, anyway!
As you’re trying gowns on, our sample sizes may be too big or too small. That’s okay, our trained stylists know exactly which gowns will work, which ones won’t, and how to best show off the dresses. Don’t let the size deter you from falling in love with a dress!
We receive sample gowns that are in one color, one size. While we can order gowns in a range of sizes and color palettes, our store samples are limited to the singular dress we have in stock. Don’t worry! That’s what our consultants are for. We’ll get creative with clamps, clips, liners, and more to show you off the way you deserve.
For plus size brides, we carry over 75 gowns in store in sizes 16+. Our Pinterest features a board of all our designer plus size gowns!
Formalwear can be complicated to get into. That’s why our trained consultants are in the dressing room with you to help you in & out of your gowns.

Our job is just to make sure you look and feel your very best. We have robes to wear between dresses and will accommodate all levels of modesty.
