Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When should I buy my gown?
At least 3-5 months before the wedding. The store will order your gowns directly from the manufacturer. Factor in the shipping, delays, and alterations. However if the manufacturer has it in stock, then the arrival date can be within 2 weeks.
Do I need an appointment to visit your store?
Appointments are not necessary. We welcome all walk-in customers. However if you want personalized service then you are welcomed to book an appointment outside of normal store operating hours. Call us at 604-298-9788
Can I bring family and friends with me when trying on dresses?
Yes, most definitely. However, to provide you better service we strongly recommend booking an appointment outside of the regular opening hours.
Do I need alterations? If so, then when?
Dresses fit people in many different ways. During the fitting we will determine whether you need alterations or not. If alterations are needed, then we suggest at least one month prior to the occassion.
Do I need an appointment for alterations?
Yes we strongly recommend you to book an appointment with our consultants. Fittings usually take about half an hour for each dress. Please bring your shoes and all undergarments. Call us at 604-298-9788
Do you do other kinds of alterations besides dresses?
Yes we do various kinds of alterations such as jean and pant hemming, mens and womens ware, leather clothing, and so forth.
What are some things I should look for when shopping for a dress?
You should consider the style, color, cut, fabric, and adornments such as beads. Try on a few dresses and to get a feel for what looks best on you.
I found a dress in a magazine, but can't afford it, what can I do?
We can help you custom-make a dress that looks similar - but not exactly a replicate. Prices depend on the material, details, and style.
Who should I bring with me when shopping for a dress?
Getting a second or third opinion is always a good idea. Take one or two with you when you shop. Your mother or trusted friends can offer you some good opinions. However don't bring too many people with you at once. Everyone will have their own opinions which can lead to indecisiveness. Too many opinions from too many people will make your decision even harder.
What kind of veil should I buy?
First of all, make sure you have bought your dress. You do not want a veil that overpowers the beauty of your dress. Veils come in many different styles, weights of fabric, choice of trimmings, and length. Pick one that goes best with your gown. Moreover we can custom-make a veil to match your needs such as length, assortment of details, multi-layered, and more.
What do I wear underneath my wedding gown?
Ideally a bra and a slip should be worn under the gown. You need something that is comfortable and provides support with your gown. However a slip may be optional if your gown is a slim sheath. At Angeline Bridal we sell Spanx and bustiers that enhance your figure while wearing your wedding gown.
How do I walk with my train?
The train can be bustled, which means hooks and eyes or buttons are sewn onto the back of the gown. During the reception, for example, you can pull up your train to make you more mobile.
My wedding (or prom) is soon and I have yet to buy a dress! What can I do??
Leaving it to the last minute is not ideal. However there may be valid reasons, so here's a suggestion. Often people will find a sample dress exactly to their liking. You can buy a dress off the rack and have it altered to fit you. Most likely the dress will be a sample dress or a consigned dress. It may require dry-cleaning depending on the condition.
Can I take my dress to you for consignment?
We accept dresses that are not over 3 years old. If you have something unique then we may consider. It is best to bring your dress to our store so we can further inspect it and assess the value for sale.
How much can I get from the sale of my consigned dress?
We usually take 30-40% off the original price paid based on the receipt. If you don't have the receipt then we will provide an estimate based on our assessment. When the dress is sold then you will earn 50% of the price it was sold at.
