Tulle & Lace Off the Shoulder Appliques Princess Wedding Gown

We are an online bridal retailer keeping the costs affordable to you. You can feel confident about your beautiful wedding dress purchase with us because we work with dressmakers whom have a minimum of 7 or more years in business making dresses so we know the product will be accurate, well made for you.

THE PROCESS

When you choose your dream dress with us, we take careful consideration in verifying sizing, color choices and any other details that may need to be addressed.

On our dress pages, you can choose a size, color if available or click the custom size button. Whenever anyone chooses a size, the dress is still made to order and we send 2 emails out in case one ends up in spam to obtain sizing because we want to be as accurate as possible so you are happy with the results since you are buying online. It is important for you to be as accurate with your measurements as possible, the dressmakers are relying on you for accuracy, they are dressmakers not miracle workers.

Once you "Add to Cart" and place your dress order, we will send our 2 emails asking for your measurements within 24 hours of your order. Once we hear back from you, you will receive a "Thank You" for your measurements email so you can be sure we got your information. If you do not get the "Thank You" email from, please contact us. If we do not hear back from you after 48 hours and you choose a standard size measurement, we cannot hold up the order any longer and the dressmaker will use the standard measurements for your dream dress. Your dress is still made to order with or without your sizing.

People ask about the risk of buying online and not being able to try on the dress. We say you should go to a local bridal shop to try on wedding dress styles because your vision of your dream dress might not be the right choice in reality and you may find the perfect style, then shop online for a wider selection and with better knowledge and understanding of what your knock-out dream dress is.

After you place an online order with us, your order is sent to the dressmaker. First they confirm with us your information, then they start the process. First the fabric is cut based on your measurements, then the basic seams are sewn. Next, if there is any under skirting, it is sewn into the garment. Any embellishments like beading, bows, pleats, embroidery or lace is added and your dress is completed and ready for inspection.

Every dress is shipped inside-out to avoid any damage. When you receive your dress, please carefully with gloves on turn the dress the right way and hang up immediately. If you do not have a tall enough rack to hang the dress on, use a white clean sheet for the skirt to rest on.

If this is your first experience with buying a wedding dress, please note that wedding dresses are not like regular gowns. They can be stiff because of multiple layers, hand sewn embellishments need a stiff fabric to sew onto, tulle underskirts or lace that is sewn on a nude mess material. Wedding gowns are sewn to withstand pressure and keeping everything in during your event. Bra pads are made with polyester firm material so nothing shows through a dress. Bra pads are the same color as your dress, so if you order a white dress, the pads will be white. 

When you look at the wedding dress photos, they are on all professional, thin models. A dress on the model may look different on you, please do not expect to look like the model. Many people do not realize that when a dress is very spread out in a photo, they think the dress will flow like that when you wear it but the reality is a photo with dresses being held out by the model or very spread out is to show you the dress. It is does not mean the dress flows like that naturally in the wind.

Delivery

Your delivery date is an ESTIMATE. Most dresses arrive by quoted date but sometimes there can be delays in the shipping chain, especially in our new covid world. Made to order dresses take time to make, there may be other orders ahead of you. If your wedding is next week or same month we are in, please do not make a wedding dress purchase from us. We need at least 35 days or more to complete the made to order dress process. Plan ahead and you will receive a beautiful dress that would cost much more in a brick and mortar shop, the wait is worth it. The more hand sewing and complicated bead work on a dress means more time to make so please be patient. If you have doubts you will receive your dress on time, please contact us before you order and we can give you the estimated delivery date. Again, it is an ESTIMATE based on current orders, shippers and everything going as it should, so be wise and do not plan on that exact date, it is not a guarantee.

Your Dress Has Arrived

Your dress has shipped inside out to avoid damage. Carefully inspect your dress, try it on. The dressmakers accurately makes the dress based on your measurements. If you choose a standard size, consult our dress chart to see if your measurements match up with the size you choose. Choosing a standard size still means that the dress is made to order for you using that chart sizing.  Every dress listing has the sizing chart in the Sizing & More Info. button. Dresses a LET seam which is an important part of your dress, in case you need to let the dress in or out. Please be prepared to have some alterations done to your dress. Just like if you bought a wedding dress from a local retail bridal shop there is always a final fitting close to your wedding date where the dress is adjusted to your current body sizing for the most snug fit on your special day. Because your dress was shipped and not hanging in a dress shop, your dress may need to be pressed to have the full skirt effect. Petticoats may also be needed for fuller ball gowns.

You have made it through all the planning and your day has arrived, enjoy it, enjoy your friends and family that have come to celebrate with you.
