I want to pop on and post a quick PSA for anyone planning to come in to try on our beautiful preloved wedding dresses…
We’ve had a few people come in recently and the first statement they make is ‘I’m not buying a dress, I’m just here to try them all on’.
While we love providing our services to everyone and we are told often about how our brides never feel pressured to buy (we actually strive to be low pressure and encourage our buyers to ‘go have a mimosa’ or ‘sleep on it’ before such an important purchase) this is not the shop for you to come to learn what you like.
I’ve said it before and will always say it. A consignment shop should never be your first stop. If you want to try on all different styles and silhouettes then you should start at a regular bridal shop. You can see how you like ball gowns vs fitted gowns, you can try on different fabrics and silhouettes, and you can nail down what you love and don’t love. Bridal store dresses are all unaltered sample gowns. Our dresses belong to other brides. They are valuable and somewhat sentimental so constant try ons with no intention to purchase only further adds to wear and possible damage. We will always take extra special care of the dresses we have not only for our sellers, but so our buyers are purchasing beautiful ‘as new’ gowns for their own wedding.
Once you’ve been to a few shops and know what you like you can come see us with photos and ideas and then you only need to try on the styles you already know you love.
If you’re booked in with us and haven’t been to any other shops, it’s still fine to come in- just know that our shop isn’t just a free for all and we prefer brides don’t pull every dress into the fitting rooms just for fun. We appreciate and respect our sellers and their property and will care for it like it’s our own 🖤
