Appointment Policies
To prepare…
Please allow one hour for your appointment
We request everyone wear a mask, please; Andrea is highly immuno-compromised and our space is small, so social distancing is impossible. This is an honor system; please help us protect each other!
Please come free of transferable makeup, lipstick, self-tanning products and heavy fragrance. Our gowns are not samples; anything that touches a gown could be there forever
We suggest you bring 1-3 people in addition to the bride; we only have 3 chairs, so there isn't room for more guests
Please wear/bring the most supportive (with straps!) bra you have, cozy socks, and heels if you are a heel person
Expect that many of the gowns in our inventory will not immediately fit you; we custom fit your dress just for you
Have fun!
Our curation
A common question- where do you get your gowns and do you accept gowns? Andrea curates our selection, focusing on high-end, designer, and luxury brands from the past 100 years. We have a large number of gowns in storage that we rotate into the studio, so we typically don’t need to acquire more gowns, but feel free to email andreasvintageandbridal@gmail.com if you’re interested in re-homing a dress.
(please DO NOT email our standard email, which we save for appointments only)
About our selection…
Our prices typically range approx. $700-$4,200; a small selection of gowns are more and less than this. We accept all credit cards and do not keep cash on premises.
Sizes range from 000 Petite-14 Tall
(22”-35” waist measurement)
We have an ongoing commitment to constantly increasing our inventory of true vintage wedding dresses in a diversity of sizes; we strive to accommodate all bodies, within the confines that focusing on only true vintage creates.
