1. What is your price range?

​​

Our prices reflect the rarity, quality, and condition of our dresses, as well as the complex curation and preparation process.

​

·       Full-length wedding dresses begin at approximately $3,500

·       Vintage Vera Wang wedding dresses begin at $4,500

·       Iconic vintage dresses by Vera Wang, Christian Dior, etc. begin at approximately $7,000

·       Party & event dresses range from approximately $1,000 to $6,000

​

Notes on pricing:

​

·       Sourcing couture vintage wedding dresses is a continuous, labor-intensive process that occurs every day. It is nothing like the traditional bridal shop model, where a boutique carries a handful of designers, and they select samples from the limited collections of dresses their designers create. Every dress in our collection must be individually sourced, selected, purchased, and prepared for sale. We absolutely love this process (or we wouldn't be in business!), but it takes time, knowledge, and technical skill. 

​

·       Specialized skills and training are sometimes required to prepare our dresses for sale. For instance, necessary repairs to couture finishing techniques should only be performed by someone skilled in applying those techniques. Preparing a couture vintage dress for sale is not usually a matter of adding a price tag, like it is with a sample in a regular bridal shop. It can take weeks or even months. ​

​

​2. Do you charge an appointment fee?

​

We charge $100 for an appointment to try on wedding dresses, and $60 for an appointment to try on eveningwear and bridal event dresses (like minis, midis, etc.). The fees are credited against the cost of your dress. There is no charge for repeat appointments. 

​​

3. What sizes do you carry?

 

​Women have always faced enormous pressure to conform to a certain idealized body type, and that was especially true 20+ years ago, during the periods our dresses come from. Most couture vintage wedding dresses are a modern size 10-12 or below (which is the equivalent of a bridal size 14).

 

These sizes correspond to roughly the following body measurements:

​

BUST - 30" to 40"

​

WAIST - 24" to 32"

​

HIP - 35" to 43" (but there is significant flexibility with hip measurements because many of our dresses have full skirts, so they can accommodate a wide range of hip measurements)

 

We are very committed to creating a collection that is as inclusive as possible, and we are constantly seeking vintage wedding dresses in sizes 14 and above. We offer higher consignment rates for dresses in sizes 10+, and we typically pay much more to acquire them because of their scarcity. We have many mid-size dresses in our collection (and some of the only plus-size vintage Vera Wang wedding dresses to ever hit the market), and we are proud of that, but the truth is that the options available in those sizes are still more limited than those in straight sizes.

 

In the future, we are hoping to bring in a select few modern made-to-order designers whose mission and values align with ours.

​

4. Do you offer champagne?

​

We love champagne as much as anyone, and we know that most bridal shops serve it, but we don't offer it or permit it to be consumed in the shop. Unlike traditional bridal shops, we can't order another sample from the designer if a dress gets damaged from food or drink. We are as cautious with our dresses as possible.

​

5. Do you allow photos?

​

Yes, we allow and encourage you to take pictures and video during your appointment!
