What to expect when choosing your gown:
1. Ordering
Most bridal gowns are handmade and the arrival of your gown
may take anywhere from 4 to 6 months depending on the designer.
Gowns can be discontinued or chosen for a sample sale with
no notice to the bride, so once you find the perfect dress
do not hesitate to order it. When ordering, a 60% deposit
is
required in the form of cash, check or credit card. The remaining
40% balance is due 30 days after the gown’s arrival.
Uniquely Yours will store your gown after its arrival from
the designer.
2. Measurements
Once you have found the perfect dress and made the decision
to place an order, a trained Uniquely Yours consultant will
take
careful measurements to ensure the best fit possible. While
a size is recommended by our staff, the size choice is always
the
bride’s decision. Many custom sizing options are available
from our designers for an extra charge. However, no matter the
complexity of measurements, special fittings are required in
most cases for a hem, bustle, nip and tuck.
3. Arrival and Fittings
Upon the arrival of your bridal gown, it is shipped directly
to Uniquely Yours from the designer, lightly pressed and inspected
for any flaws in our shipping and receiving department. The
bride will then receive a phone call from a bridal consultant,
notifying
her that the wedding gown has arrived. It is up to the bride
to call and schedule a fitting and pressing. Fittings take
from 3-6 weeks and require approximately 2 separate appointments.
Rush fittings are available for a fee.
