Question 7

What sizes do you carry at Blueberry?

Accepted Answer

We realize not everyone is the same size and shape.  We want every bride to be able to try on a handful of dresses and feel beautiful.  Bridal sizing is different from street wear and every designer has their own sizing chart.  Generally though, bridal sizing is a couple of sizes smaller than street wear.  We carry bridal size 6 to 28, but can order up to size 32 for most of our designers.

Question 8

What about alterations?

Accepted Answer

Most every bride will need some alterations.  You will want the most important dress of your life to fit your shape perfectly.  They will take in, let out, adjust strap lengths, do a hem, do a bustle and whatever tweeking needs to be done in order for the dress to fit you like a glove. We have trusted alterations specialists that we will recommend to you.   Alterations are not included in the purchase of the dress.

Are you by appointment only?

Question 10

What is your payment and refund policy?
