As a bride, looking for your dress can be an exciting prospect for some. In the search for pre-loved, you will be looking for a dress that is going to work for your style and budget as well as being close to your measurements. Once you know what type of style you are looking for and you know what your budget is, start keeping your eye open for gowns that might suit. It is advisable to not leave it too last minute, as you may need to arrange alterations for a more personalised fit. Because you are looking for a gown that already exists, you may want to still start 6-12 months before your wedding date, as this keeps your options open to have time to make adjustments and transformations! The best part about looking for pre-loved dresses is that if you are on a tight timeframe, you are always going to be able to find a gorgeous gown! (The closest time frame we ever had in our boutique was 1 week before the wedding! The bride still found a perfect option!)
