What to Wear Wedding Dress Shopping
and other FAQs

We suggest nude undergarments and a strapless bra or shapewear, as they help you see how each silhouette will look and feel. For comfort and professionalism, undergarments are required, and your stylist will be in the room to assist you. Bringing heels close to your wedding shoe height can also help you picture the complete look. Most importantly, come as you are—your appointment will be a joyful experience no matter what.

The ideal wedding dress timeline is about 9–12 months before your wedding day. This allows time for ordering, shipping, and any necessary alterations. Alterations are not included in the cost of your gown, but many brides choose to have them done to achieve the perfect fit. If you’re on a shorter timeline, our beautiful off-the-rack gowns are available to take home the very same day.

We do not offer alterations in-house, but we’re happy to share trusted recommendations with you. Every bride’s gown may require adjustments—whether it’s a simple hem or a detailed tailoring—to create that flawless, custom fit. Your stylist will guide you through what to expect and connect you with skilled seamstresses who specialize in bridal work.
