We carry hundreds of gowns and dresses in sample sizes ranging from size 4 – 24 and many are orderable in sizes 00-32. Using clips, modesty panels and your comfort level, we will use samples in many different sizes to showcase different styles on you, and then order in the most appropriate size for you!

Yes! Many of our gowns are available for off-the-rack purchase!
We strongly recommend choosing a gown close to your own measurements, not smaller and no more than 1-2 sizes bigger for the most successful alterations! When in doubt, we’re more than happy to connect directly with a local seamstress to confirm comfortable, successful alterations prior to purchase.

As much as we (very, very much!) love to celebrate we cannot safely nor legally accommodate the consumption of alcohol in our shop.  We are unable to allow outside food or beverages into the shop for the care of ours and clients’ garments.

Thank You for understanding!

Shades of White does not offer Seamstress Services.  Please use a professional bridal seamstress of your choice!

No, the price of alterations is always above and beyond the price of the dress. We are certainly happy to discuss rough expectations of those prices, and you’re always welcome to discuss directly with your chosen seamstress to confirm pricing.
