Sample Wedding Gowns

Simply put, sample gowns are gowns that have been tried on in store, are in great condition and are available for immediate purchase. More often than not, last minute brides are why we have many sample options for sale all year round; their heavily discounted prices also appeal to brides on a budget.

Our sample gowns typically range from a size 6-14, with a small selection available in sizes 16–20. Most gowns can be altered down to fit your body perfectly, though we generally do not recommend altering gowns up to larger sizes. Zippers, minor holes and slight beading loss can easily be repaired during the alterations process. Alterations generally cost $400-$800, so please factor that in when making your purchase. Dry cleaning will be needed for some sample gowns and we have excellent cleaners to recommend in order to bring these beauties back to life!
