Bring it to us! We pack and send it to the Wedding Gown Preservation Co. where they thoroughly clean and preserve your gown, and send it back to you! From the company: "We have several different processes that are used for cleaning. Each gown is evaluated upon its arrival and the best cleaning process for that particular gown is used. All of our processes are safe, gentle and environmentally safe. Your gown is then fitted on an acid-free bust form and packed in our acid-neutral preservation chest. " The price is $325, and we handle all of the packing and shipping for you!

Take some time to look through magazines and websites so you have a general idea of what you prefer in a wedding dress. This will help us get started in the selection process, although your stylist may also have some recommendations that you will love. It is helpful to bring undergarments of similar styles that you will wear on your wedding day, including nude or white underwear. You can wear a strapless bra or no bra- wedding gowns do not need them, so that is up to your comfort level. You MUST have on underwear (panties) to try on gowns.

No, we require you to take off your shoes when trying on dresses.

We like to order the dress as close to your current size as possible, but all bridal gowns need alterations to give it a perfect fit for your wedding day, plus you'll want a bustle. We do not do these in-house, but we recommend three wonderful alterations specialists: Savannah- Adrienne- www.stitchsavannah.com Rincon- Aleida Haymes- 912-667-1341 Facebook: Aleida's Embroidery and Alterations Pooler- www.trishbstylin.com, 912-239-7440 You should budget $300-800 for alterations, although it could be more or less depending on your dress.

We do sell plus size dresses- we love to accommodate as many beautiful body types as possible with our sample dresses. We have a nice selection of plus-size dresses for our curvy girls. Since our samples will not be an exact fit for most, we use clips to help you invision your perfect size. If you would like to speak to someone about what we have in your size, please send us an email or call.

On Saturdays, we can only allow you to bring 5 people at the most with you, so that we can make every comfortable. Besides, we have found that the opinions of a trusted few always make for an easier decision for you! For weekday appointments, you may bring up to 7.

Bridal sizing is vintage sizing. Your bridal size will more than likely be two sizes larger then your current vanity size. If you wear a size 10 in regular clothing for example you will be a bridal size 14.

No, we do not. If you are a photographer, stylist, bridal expo coordinator or magazine please contact us at CamelliaSavannah@gmail.com as they may be available for shoots or fashion shows.
