What if my bridesmaids are not from the area? How will they be fitted and get their dress?

There are several different ways to answer these questions, largely dependent upon your bridesmaid dress selection and personal preference for how you want to handle getting the dresses to your girls.  But, first thing first, right?

  • Once you decide on a dress (or dresses!) for your girls, the next step is to get their measurements.  If they are able to make it to The White Dress to be measured, we prefer to measure each girl, to ensure accurate measurements.  But, if they are out of town, we only ask that they go to an experienced seamstress.  Once they have those measurements, they can submit those via our Bridesmaid Measurements Portal and we will walk them through the rest of the process to determine size and pay their deposit.
  • Bridesmaids are welcome to pay their invoice online – we will send them a payment link.  Or payments can be made by giving us credit card information over the phone.
  • And when your dresses arrive, there are lots of options for getting the dresses to your maids.  We can ship the dresses to your girls (though we do charge a$20 shipping fee for that service).  But what happens most often is that the bride picks up her bridesmaid’s dresses and arranges to deliver them to her girls (especially since there are lots of opportunities to do that with the bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and other fun wedding related activities around the time most bridesmaid dresses arrive).

What is the size range of bridesmaid dresses at The White Dress?

Most of our bridesmaid sample dresses range from a size 8 to size 16 but we also have a limited selection of size 18 to 28.  Please note that like our wedding dresses, we generally only carry one of each style in our store for sample purposes.  After a dress is selected, we order each dress to a bridesmaid’s particular measurements.  Most all of our bridesmaid dresses can be ordered up to a size 24 to 30, depending on the dress designer.

If you have any specific questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

 

Tell me more about the bridesmaid process!

Styling your bridesmaids adds a fun design element to a wedding and there are so. many. options!  Don’t read this wrong; we are all about the traditional every-bridesmaid-wears-the-same-dress style route.  But we also like to be as creative as you want when it comes to the bridesmaid dress.  We carry a collection of trendy bridesmaid dresses that can cater to your vision.  The best way to start is by either giving us a call or booking a bridesmaid dress appointment.  Price points start at around $220 and go up to around $320.  We offer group discounts and if you happen to be one of our amazing TWD brides, you get an automatic discount, regardless of group size.

Do you carry bridesmaid dresses?

Absolutely!  And though our shop’s name certainly shows how much we care about the bride, we love working with her girls too!  The White Dress offers a selection of over 150 different (and fabulous) frocks for the bride’s very important ladies.

We find it easiest to browse our bridesmaid dresses by clicking through to the designer’s website, Sorella Vita.  While we don’t carry every single dress on this website, we do have many of them and are happy to verify any styles you wish to see in person.

And we can’t forget to mention, all TWD brides and most large bridal parties can offer a 15% discount off their party dress.  It can’t get sweeter than that!
