--We operate with lower overheads than a local retail store. We do not
need to rent the store and employ sales staff or an alterations
department.

factory. Prices are much more competitive than other retailers, which
can save you at least 70%.

3. What materials do you usually use on your wedding dress products?
--Chiffon: Delicate, sheer, and
transparent -- made from silk or rayon, with a soft finish; often
layered because of its transparency, making it popular for overskirts,
sheer sleeves, and wraps.
--Organza: Crisp and sheer like chiffon, with a stiffer texture similar
in effect to tulle, but more flowing; popular for skirts, sleeves,
backs, and overlays.
--Satin: A heavy, smooth fabric with a high sheen on one side; very common in bridal gowns.
--Silk: The most sought-after, cherished fiber for wedding dresses (and also the most expensive).
--Silk-Like Satin: A smooth silk satin, with a glossy front and matte back.
--Taffeta: Crisp and smooth, with a slight rib.
--Tulle: Netting made of silk, nylon, or rayon; used primarily for skirts and veils (think ballerina tutus).

5. How do I decide what size to order?
You can choose a standard size or give us your custom measurements. Please view our Size Charts Prior to selecting your size to order, we suggest reviewing the information provided in How to Measure. Even if there is some fluctuation in the size you need, all our dresses are made with a margin for modification or alteration. The modification or alteration can be made by your local tailor.
6. What modifications and alterations are normally done to a dress to make it fit?
A number of alterations can be made:
--Side seams and Back Seams - The side seams and back seam in the torso
can be taken in or let out to make a wedding dress fit a bride. This is
true even for gowns ordered to size. Wedding gowns are usually made to
allow the side seams to be let out up to 3 inches or 1-2 sizes.
Additionally, the back seam often can be let out slightly to size up further.
--Shoulders - It is also common for shoulder seams to be taken in to bring up a gown.
--Hem - The length of a dress can be shortened only and is affected by
the height of the shoe you are planning to wear. Some gowns can only be
shortened from the waist. Other gowns can only be shortened by taking up
the hemline.
--Bustle - The bustle is a way to hook the train up in the back so that
the dress can be worn comfortably after the ceremony. Bustling a dress
is part of the alterations for any gown that has an attached train.
