All you need to bring is yourself! The bridal gowns all come with built-in bras and boning support so underwear is all that’s needed.

If you feel more comfortable wearing shapewear, you’re absolutely welcome to do so, we even have samples in store. Shoes are not required.
We kindly ask that you do not wear sunless tanner to your appointment.
