What is a Sample Sale? 

Gowns available for purchase are those that have been used as in-store samples that are in great condition but offered at a heavily discounted price (30-70% off). They are perfect for brides who are looking to buy quickly and ready to say yes! The sale will be on a first come, first serve basis and we will be opening the doors at 10:30 AM. During this time you will have 30 mins to try on your favourite sample gowns, we recommend this not be your first bridal experience due to the fast paced nature of a sample sale. Historically gowns are sold very quickly during sample sales so we advise our brides to come ready to make a decision. We will be allowing every bride to bring a maximum of one guest to help them shop. Click here for a  few of our Sample Sale gowns or accessories.

Thanks to our talented local seamstresses and cleaners, purchasing a sample gown can be stress-free. Altering a dress down to your specific measurements and fixing up minor flaws is a simple repair and oftentimes a hem is all that is needed to brighten up any bottom discolouration. To assure that ‘like new’ condition we always suggest keeping a $250-500 alteration budget in mind. This alteration budget range is what we recommend for new and sample gowns. Alterations are always required with any gown.

We have a high standard for the condition of our gowns and often have them dry cleaned so most will not need additional dry cleaning. If a gown is too big you can always take it in in alterations in order to fit you perfectly or take out slightly if it is a bit tight. 

Samples gowns range from a size 6 - 12 for the most part.

Sample sale prices range according to designer and condition of the gown. We recommend having a budget of $2000 for a wedding gown and you may be pleasantly surprised. This year we have gowns starting at just under $1000  - $3000 for the most part. 

We are so excited to be a part of your special day and cannot wait to help you find the one.
