Ideally, we recommend allowing at least 7-8 months from selecting your gown till your wedding date. Our gown collections take 3-6 months to arrive in store from date of ordering - we can shorten this time in some instances but this will incur a rush fee. Many Brides like to select and order their gown earlier as often the chosen gown dictates the theme of the wedding. We have sample gowns available to purchase off the rack if your wedding is sooner than delivery schedules allow.

Depending on which Designer Collection you select your gown from - the delivery time can be between 3 and 6 months. We also recommend you allow 6-8 weeks after delivery until your wedding date to allow time for any necessary alterations. Dresses can be ordered on shorter time frames if necessary - however a rush fee may apply.

Typically our gowns are made to order but not made to measure. Your gown will be ordered to a standard size (based on a size chart provided by the designer) and will require a small amount of alterations on arrival. If your gown has a lace trimmed hem - we can order to the appropriate length to reduce alterations costs on arrival - in this instance it is necessary that you have your shoes picked out prior to ordering. Alternatively we may be able to request your gown be shipped with the lace unattached at the hem to alleviate any difficulty in altering your gown on arrival. Some of our stocked Designers do offer custom sizing however this is likely to still require additional tailoring on arrival as in order to get the perfect fit, a seamstress needs to tailor your gown on your body.

At present - due to space restrictions - we do not have a seamstress in store. We work with a group of very talented and experienced alterations specialists who we will refer you to - they will complete any necessary alterations. The cost of any required alterations is additional to the cost of your gown and payable directly to the seamstress.

We do recommend making an consultation appointment if you wish to try on our selection of gowns so that we can ensure you have a fitting room available and consultant to assist you. You are welcome to pop into our store at any time during opening hours to view our selection of gowns but an appointment is required to try gowns on.

We do charge a one-off $60 fee for our standard consultations - this is then deducted from the cost of any full-priced gown should you choose to order from our collections. Our limited VIP consultations carry a one-off $120 fee - this is also deducted from the cost of any full-priced gown should you choose to order from our collections. Consultation fees are not deducted from sale, special-offer or trunk show gowns. There is no additional cost if you wish to return to re-try and select your gown within 3 months of your initial appointment or if you wish to return after ordering to select accessories.

That is not a problem. Just come in with a open minded & enjoy the process. With our knowledge & experience we will help you find the perfect gown for you and we promise - you'll have a lot of fun!

There is absolutely no pressure on you to make a decision during your consultation. We are more than happy to email you the details of your gown choice/choices for you to consider. You are also welcome to return and re-try your "shortlist" within 3 months at no additional cost. We do however always advise customers that as we frequently sell gowns directly off the rack we can never guarantee that your shortlisted gown will be available to retry at a later date.

You should feel free to bring friends, family members or your wedding planner - anyone whose opinion you trust and value and who will help you make the right choice about your special day. Our consultations can be a lot of fun and are an important and special part of your wedding planning process. We do request that you limit your guest numbers to a maximum of 4 during standard consultations - should you wish to bring more guests a VIP appointment can be booked - this allows you, and your party, exclusive use of the store.

You are welcome to bring along your own smart device to do this - however we are set up in store to facilitate Skype video calls to your loved ones - there is no additional cost for this.
