On busy days there may be a short waiting period before we can meet you for your appointment.
Bring along some heels that are of a height similar to heels you may wear on your big day. There are shoes available in the changing room, however these may not be your size/style/preferred height, thus never as comfy as your own!
We ask that in order to prevent tan marks and blemishes on dresses, that you have minimal make up and are fake-tan free!
Also it is helpful to bring the right underwear, maybe a well fitted bra with detachable straps to suit the strapless dresses.
Keep in mind, we are here to advise, assist and ensure your time is a fun and informative experience, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions throughout your appointment!
Most importantly, even if you have an exact idea what style you want to wear on your wedding day, we encourage you to try on a variety of styles and designs, you could be surprised!!
Can I bring Somebody with me to my Appointment?

We are aware how delicate and precious your gown is and it is our priority to endeavor to keep your dress in the same condition as when it arrived at the showroom.
Prior to an appointment, we request that brides do not wear fake tan or bronzer with minimal make up so as to prevent dress soiling.
In a timeframe of a dress being tried on to achieve a sale, fraying can happen, which is not something that can be prevented by us.
We will be on hand to assist with your dress being tried on to ensure it is handled appropriately and zipped/buttoned/laced up delicately.

You are under no obligation to accept an offer outside the reserve price that you are not happy with.
The sale will not proceed if the price offered is below the agreed reserve price unless your consent is given.

In the unfortunate case where there has been little or no interest despite our advertising and marketing efforts, we feel that the dress will not sell with us and will make arrangements for you to pick it up.
Generally we keep the dress 6 months, but can return to you at any time.
What happens if I don’t reply to you when contacted for dress return?
If we make the decision to return your wedding dress/veil to you, we will notify you by email/text/phone call.
If we feel your dress is not appealing to brides and will struggle to sell, you MUST adhere to this fact and reply to our correspondence and arrange return.

Can I attempt to Sell my dress via other Methods while it is with Timeless Bridalwear?
We ask that you do not advertise your dress elsewhere when the dress is with us to sell.
Why do Brides Sell their Wedding Dresses?
There are many reasons!
The majority of our dresses are brand new and never worn! Some brides change their mind on style or design. Plans can change from engagement date to wedding day – e.g. brides decide to have their wedding abroad and the dress is too heavy for a sun wedding.
Today’s modern brides would rather share their cherished gown with another happy bride and allow her to feel as special as they did on their big day. The tradition of a bride saving her wedding dress for their daughter’s christening is slowly disappearing as brides warm to the idea of recouping some of the original cost!
