What Is a Bridal Sample Dress?
When you hear the words sample dress, you may wonder: What exactly does that mean?
At Coreena’s Bridal, a sample gown is a beautiful wedding dress that has been selected for our boutique for brides to see, try on, and fall in love with in person. These are the gowns you see hanging in our showroom, the dresses you step into during your appointment as you discover the silhouette, fabric, details, and feeling that are right for you.
Unlike a gown that is ordered specifically for one bride, a sample gown is already in our boutique and has been tried on by other brides. Because of this, sample gowns can offer an incredible opportunity for brides who are looking for a beautiful dress at a special price.
Why Choose a Sample Gown?
One of the biggest advantages of a sample dress is that you get to take it home sooner. Rather than waiting months for a gown to be ordered and produced, a sample is already here and ready to find its bride.
Sample gowns also include some of the same gorgeous details you’d find in a made to order gown. From intricate lace and beautiful beading to dramatic trains, flattering silhouettes, and thoughtful design details.
And perhaps the most exciting part? You may discover a gown you never expected to love.
What Should I Know Before Buying a Sample Dress?
Because sample gowns have been tried on in the boutique, they may show some signs of wear from appointments. This can include things like minor makeup marks, loose threads, or small imperfections. Our team carefully evaluates each gown we take pride in keeping our sample dresses in pristine condition.
Sizing is also an important consideration. Sample gowns are available in the size they are currently stocked in, rather than being ordered in your specific size. Depending on the gown, alterations are able to make it the perfect fit for you.
Could Your Dream Dress Be a Sample?
We think one of the most beautiful things about a sample gown is that it already has a little bit of history, and now it gets the chance to become part of yours. Purchasing the sample also guarantees that no future brides will be ordering your dress!
Our Sample Sale is the perfect opportunity to explore these special gowns, discover something unexpected, and find a dress that feels like you.
Your dream wedding dress doesn’t always have to be ordered from scratch.
Sometimes, the one is already waiting for you.
