Before your appointment

Bring your favorite people

Bring up to four accompanying guests to share this special moment.

To maintain a relaxing and intimate experience, accompanying children are not permitted.
Choose guests whose opinions you value and who will help make your experience memorable.

Bring inspiration photos of dresses, colors, and styles you love.

Have your event date and preferred dress budget in mind.

Arrive ready to discover the dress of your dreams!

For a comfortable and seamless fitting, we recommend:

Biker shorts or fitted spandex shorts: Nude or neutral colors for comfort, coverage and modesty.

Sticky bra or adhesive cups: Helpful for gowns with open backs or delicate straps.

Seamless, nude-colored undergarments: For a smooth and discreet fit underneath gowns.

Important: For hygiene, comfort and privacy, all clients must wear appropriate undergarments when trying on dresses. We strongly recommend fitted biker shorts and a strapless bra.

Each appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes.

Try on a maximum of three gowns during your appointment.

Our team will help you explore styles that complement your vision and personality.

Dress availability and special orders

Ready to purchase gowns

We carry a beautiful selection of in-stock quinceañera and Sweet 16 gowns available for purchase. If you fall in love with an available dress, you may purchase it without waiting for a special order.

Looking for a specific color, size or custom design? Ask about special order options and custom options offered by the designer.

Custom and special order gowns may take up to three months to arrive.

Timelines vary by designer, style, gown availability, and customization requirements.

Shop well in advance to allow time for delivery and any necessary alterations. We will confirm the expected timeline for your selection.

The Dress Affair does not provide in house alteration services.

If your gown requires alterations, we will gladly provide a list of reputable seamstresses in your area who can help you achieve the perfect fit. You arrange and pay for alteration services independently with your chosen seamstress.

Complimentary appointments: There is no charge to book your dress shopping experience.

Confirmation required: All appointments must be confirmed in advance. Unconfirmed appointments will be automatically canceled.

Punctuality: Please arrive on time to enjoy your full appointment. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your appointment will be rescheduled.
