purchase is made, even if your wedding
date is a year or more away, this gives
our brides the quickest ship date possible.
Average arrival is three and a half to
four months. Special ordering your gown
with changes may take a little longer,
and payment in full is required. Rush

The Better
Business Bureau recommends that you order
your gown and accessories at the same
time. This helps you know how your complete
ensemble will look. Ordering your gown
, veil, headpiece, undergarments and
shoes at the same time insures that your
entire ensemble is ready for alterations
and portraits. We realize a brides time
is precious. You may order your veil
and headpiece after your gown arrives,
but remember veils and headpieces arrive
about one and a half to two months after
ordering.

Most
designers start at a 2-4 and go to a
28 or 32. Bridal gowns are cut
different than normal clothing. Most brides order or buy a gown 1
to 2 sizes
larger than they usually wear.

When
you order a gown, Low’s staff will
take your measurements over just your
bra and underwear. This insures snug
body measurements. (Measurements should
never be taken over clothing. When you
go to the offices you will compare your
measurements to the designer’s
size chart.) Each designer has his own
size chart. Low’s will make a size
recommendation, but the bride is allowed
to order any size she chooses. If your
measurements fall between sizes it is
best to order for the larger measurements.
Gowns can be taken up but may not have
extra fabric to be let out. Gowns are
not cut to your measurements so expect
alterations, which are an additional
charge to make your gown fit you perfectly.

Special
order gowns are shipped to Low’s.
The designer will not ship directly to
the bride. Once the gown arrives at Low’s
we will carefully inspect the gown. The
bride will be called immediately upon
arrival of the gown. You may make an
appointment to pick up your gown and
other accessories or Low’s can
ship them to you. All packages are shipped
ground UPS unless you request and pay
for a two day or overnight shipping.
There is a small charge for shipping
and insurance. All gowns and accessories
are insured. All gowns are shipped with
a signature required. This assures the
bride that no gown is dropped on a doorstep.
Your consultant will confirm your address
before shipping.

Make sure
your bridesmaids get measured properly.
If in question measure twice. The most
common mistake is that bridesmaids measure
too far down for their waist measurement.
The waist is measured at the smallest
part of the torso, above the belly button.
Not where you wear your jeans Also your
bust measurement is not your bra size.
Follow the size chart provided on the
back side of your bridesmaids sheet.
Every bridesmaids gown designer has its
own size chart, and the sizes can vary
greatly. You could wear a 6 by one designer
and a 10 by another designer. Do not
guess at your size. You can always have
a gown taken up but you may not have
enough fabric to let a gown out. The
bridesmaids gowns are not cut to your
measurements. You are ordering the closest
size to your measurements.

It is
the policy of the bridal industry that
there are no exchange and all sales are
final. Bridesmaids gowns are cut just
for your order the gowns are not kept
in stock. When Low’s places your
order for your bridesmaids gowns, the
gowns are cut from the same dye lot of
fabric and in the sizes you requested.
Remember Low’s staff is not allowed
to choose your sizes.
