Real Bride McKenna Shares Her At-Home Wedding Dress Try-On Experience

real-bride-wearing--backless-lace-wedding-dress-after-using-the-home-tryon

“I didn’t have the ‘normal’ dress experience by any means. I found Dreamers & Lovers online and saw that they offered at-home try-ons. I requested my size, highly anticipated its arrival, and tried it on in my parents’ bedroom with my mom and sisters around. It was so special.

After that, I did a typical bridal boutique appointment, but nothing felt right. I kept thinking about this dress. It was the one.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Dreamers & Lovers made a version custom to my body and measurements. It truly was made just for me.

I got asked about my dress all day long and I haven’t stopped getting questions since. Thank you times a million, Dreamers & Lovers.”

Another Bride Who Found “The One” From Home

Maressa found her dream wedding dress through our at-home virtual try-on — without ever stepping foot in our studio.

“I was one of your virtual brides that purchased a dress from my home in Jacksonville, Florida using your virtual fitting option.

I knew the Stella gown was the dress when I saw it online, but it fit even better than I ever could have imagined after you sent it to me with all the correct alterations.

It was comfortable and lightweight for a hot and humid setting, and the lace pattern complimented our Floridian-style venue so well! I had so many people ask me where I found it and they were wowed when I shared the story of the virtual try-on.

Everyone loved the train and said they’d never seen a dress come to a point in the back like that.

Thank you, Dreamers & Lovers, for helping me with my most perfect dress. I wish I was still wearing it. It was truly unique and I felt stunning.”

Home Wedding Dress Try-On: Frequently Asked Questions

How does the at-home try-on work?

You choose the gowns you love, and we ship them to your door. You’ll have 48 hours to try them on in your space, at your pace. Then simply send them back using the pre-paid return label included in the box.

Is shipping included both ways?

Yes. Round-trip shipping is included within the U.S. Your package will come with a pre-paid return label so there are no surprises.

How long does the home try-on take to ship?

If your selected samples are available, we usually ship right away. If a dress is out with another bride, we’ll ship it as soon as it returns—typically within 1 to 1.5 weeks. Once shipped, delivery usually takes up to 5 business days depending on your location.

Need your box by a specific date? You can request expedited shipping (UPS Overnight or 2nd Day). This service is billed separately and typically costs around $100, depending on your delivery address.

Why is there a credit card hold?

To protect the gowns, we place a temporary hold of $1000 for one dress, $1500 for two dresses, and $2000 for three dresses on your card. It’s not a charge and will automatically drop off once the dresses are returned in the original condition. This hold helps ensure samples are treated with care..

How long can I keep the dresses?

You’ll have 48 hours from the time they arrive. It’s just enough time to try them on, show someone you love, and feel everything out without rushing.

Can I book a virtual fitting?

Yes! You can schedule a one-on-one virtual fitting with our stylist. We’ll answer questions, guide your fit, and help you feel confident in your choice.

Can I request delivery on a specific date?

We don’t guarantee delivery dates with standard shipping. If you need your try-on box by a certain date, you can request expedited shipping (UPS Overnight or 2nd Day Air). The added cost, which averages around $100, will be invoiced separately.

What’s included in the try-on box?

Inside your try-on box: the dresses you selected, a tape measure, try-on tips, and a pre-paid return label. Everything you need to experience the Dreamers & Lovers magic from home.

Why was my liner color different?

Our sample dresses rotate between brides, and availability may vary. If your sample has a different liner color than requested, it’s just for try-on purposes—the final dress will reflect your chosen color.

Why did I get a different size?

We try to send your requested size, but if it’s unavailable, we’ll send the closest fit with notes from our stylist. Your final dress will always be made in your correct size.

Can I choose where my try-on box is delivered?

Yes. Since all home try-on boxes require a signature upon delivery, we offer every bride the option to have her package shipped to a UPS Access Point or safe pickup location. This helps avoid missed deliveries and gives you peace of mind. You’ll select your preferred delivery option before we ship your box.

Do sample sale gowns qualify?

Yes, sample gowns can be included in your at-home try-on if available. However, they are not eligible for the purchase credit offered with full-priced gowns. Due to limited inventory, availability may be more limited, and sizing options are first come, first served.

What if I live in a remote area?

Some delivery addresses are classified as remote by UPS, and in those cases, they charge an additional remote area fee. If this applies to your location, we’ll notify you before shipping and invoice the difference separately.

Do you offer international try-ons?

Yes, we currently offer home try-on services to select international locations. At this time, we ship to:

Canada
Australia
New Zealand
Most countries in Europe

What if I don’t buy a dress after?

No pressure. You’re not obligated to buy. Our goal is to help you find your dress, and if it’s not with us, that’s okay. We want you to feel sure, not rushed.

Is expedited shipping applied toward my purchase credit?

No. If you choose expedited shipping, that fee is separate and not applied as part of your try-on credit. It covers the added UPS service only and is non-refundable.
