Dresses are ordered based on your measurements but are not custom made to your measurements. Most dresses do require alterations, even if it is just a hem!

No, we sell our dresses at the lowest price allowed by the manufacturer. Often, dresses found online are not licensed by the actual manufacturer the website advertises.
8. I am unable to be measured in your store, do you accept out of town measurements?
Yes, we do accept professional measurements taken elsewhere. For all dress-related measurements, A Bride’s Choice is not responsible for the fit or size of the dress when it arrives in our store. Alterations are offered at an additional cost to properly fit you to your dress. For tuxedo measurements, A Bride’s Choice is not responsible for the fit of your tuxedo when it arrives in our store. We are able to take care of minor alterations (i.e., hem length and coat sleeve length). For all other sizing issues, we are able to reorder items as needed; shipping charges for reordered items are at the renter’s expense. We ask that you try on your tuxedo by 4 pm ET on the Friday of wedding week to ensure delivery time on any potential reorders.
9. What size will you order for me?
When we look at your measurements to order you a dress (bridal or bridesmaid), we choose the dress size based on your biggest measurement so that the gown fits and we can alter it to fit you better. For example, if your bust indicated a size 8, your waist a size 10, and your hip a size 8, we would order you a size 10 to guarantee the fit. A Bride’s Choice is not responsible for the fit or size of the dress when it arrives in our store. Alterations are offered at an additional cost to properly fit you to your dress.
10. Do you carry little boys tuxedos and what sizes do they come in?
Yes! We carry an assortment of tuxedos for little boys. Sizing starts at a size 2T and goes up to an 18. We are even available to order these tuxedos in “Husky” sizing.
