No. Consignment stores will sell your garments/items for you and after the garments/items have sold, you then receive 50% of what they sell for. The store acts as your agent in selling the garments/items for you. In return, the store keeps 50% of the price for payment of selling your garments/items.
Please see page on our consignment policy.
2. How much do alterations on a wedding dress cost?
This question is way too hard to answer until we see what needs to be done to your dress. All dresses fit brides differently. Until we see your dress on you, there is no way we can give you a price estimate on alterations. Good quality alterations do cost money, yet we believe you get what you pay for.
3. How much time is needed to alter a dress?
We usually suggest that you book your initial appointment two to three months before your wedding date to give ample time to perform the alterations. At least one more fitting will be needed which will be somewhere between 2-4 weeks before your wedding based on what your individual dress requires in alterations.
4. Where do your dresses come from?
Our dresses come from many sources. Most people think our dresses come from divorce cases. This is not the case. A lot of our consignors are still happily married brides. These brides feel they would rather someone else be able to use their dress again instead of hiding it preserved in a box. We also have bridal stores that will bring in discontinued samples which they no longer can keep on their sales floor due to arrivals of new dress shipments from vendors. Some of our dresses still have tags attached to them. Not all of these are from canceled weddings. A good percentage of these come from brides who purchased one dress they thought was "the one" only to discover that "perfect one" after they purchased the first one. Gowns and accessories are not returnable at bridal stores, so only chance to get some money back on their investment is to consign the unwanted dress.
5. Do I need an appointment to try on dresses?
No appointment is necessary. You can come in at your convenience during our hours and look at your own leisure. We will be glad to assist you in trying on the dresses you select. We can help you to decide what accessories you will need to complete your total look. We do not pressure you into making a decision and are honest in giving you opinions if you ask for them. If the dress or total look does not look right, we do not want you to make a purchase you will not be happy with.
6. Do you rent dresses?
No. The dresses in our store are for sale and not for rent. The only items we rent are bridal slips.
