What if my gown doesn't sell?
If your gown is consigned, we contact you upon or near expiration so that you may arrange for pickup or donation.  All gowns that are accepted can remain in the store for up to 9 months.

Does my gown qualify?
We only approve designer gowns that we think will sell.  We are considered by some too strict but in our experience it makes the entire process a lot easier for both the buyer and the seller.

• Gowns must be new, sample or once-wed (twice wed gowns can be difficult to alter and usually show too much wear).
• Gowns must have retailed for $1,000 or more excluding taxes and alterations and proof of purchase/receipt is strongly advised
• Gowns must be three (3) years or less old
• Once-wed gowns must be dry-cleaned
• Must be in amazing condition (any flaws will be noted upon inspection)
