• Bridal appointments are one-on-one with a trained stylist in a private fitting suite. A new-client consultation runs about 90 minutes: a walk-through of the showroom first, then the bride chooses gowns, with time enough for roughly six. Weekday appointments are usually available within the hour; Saturdays are priority slots carrying a fee and are often booked two weeks ahead. A complimentary 60-minute second visit is offered for retrying favourites or taking measurements, and a third appointment carries a charge. The store asks brides to bring no more than three or four people, and provides seating for three outside each fitting room. Sample gowns are mostly size 6 to 14, with a selection up to size 20. At the designers' request, no photographs or video may be taken during a bridal appointment until the gown has been purchased. In-house dressmakers handle alterations.
