FAQ
Off The Rack means that you can purchase your dress the same day. YES! That means no shipping or waiting for 4-6 months for your dress to be made. Your dream dress is in the boutique and ready to be taken home by you! We get all of our off the rack samples from our sister store, White Dress Bridal Boutique, and all are marked 40% - 80% off retail price, so you can find your dress for less!
We also carry a core collection of styles that are made to order which means they can be ordered in your specific size and color preference.
We totally understand that every bride is on their own timeline. Luckily, at OTR we’re able to accommodate almost any timeframe! If you’re considering an off the rack wedding dress, we suggest shopping about 3-4 months before your wedding. This will leave you some extra time for alterations.
If you’d like to shop our special order collection, we suggest shopping about 10-12 months before your wedding. These dresses typically take 4-6 months to arrive and you want to have a few months for alterations as well!
We are open by appointment only. This ensures every bride has an expert stylist to help guide them through their options and keeps an intimate environment for our brides. Based on our boutique space and the available seating, we can seat 5-6 guests (not including the bride) comfortably.
We’re all about pretty dresses with pretty price tags here! Our off the rack dresses range from about $500 - $2,500 with most falling around $1,500. Keep in mind that all are highly discounted from their original price, so cheers to an incredible deal! Our special order dresses range from about $1,500 - $2,500.
The majority of our off the rack dresses are bridal size 10-14 which is roughly the equivalent of size 4-10 in ready-to-wear. We do have dresses outside of that size range, but the selection just gets a bit smaller. Our special order dresses are available to order from size 0-30, so if the sample doesn’t fit perfectly, your stylist will take measurements and go over the size chart with you.
All of our off the rack wedding dresses are samples from our sister store: White Dress Bridal Boutique. These dresses have been tried on, but never worn out of the boutique. We take great pride in taking the utmost care of our wedding gowns and having them in the best condition for you.
That being said, we do not purchase dresses from other brides either, whether they have been worn or not.
We take great pride in taking the utmost care of our wedding gowns, but some of our dresses do have small imperfections because they are samples. Any damage is always accounted for in the discounted price only found at OTR. Your stylist will guide you through any necessary alterations or repairs as well as cleaning methods and recommendations.
Our inventory is constantly changing and evolving in some capacity. Approximately every 3-6 months we will receive a “dress drop” from White Dress Bridal Boutique. We then steam the dresses, discount them, and make them available for same day purchase at our location!
Absolutely! Accessorizing is one of our favorite things to do! We offer a variety of accessories including veils, earrings, belts, headpieces, detachable sleeves, gloves, and more! No matter your timeline, we have options that are available for reorder or same day purchase.
We do refrain from putting dresses on hold, as we truly want every bride to have the same amount of options. If you feel you have found your dress and don’t want to take the risk of losing it, we will allow a 24-hour hold on one dress for a $100 fee. (If you purchase the dress, we will adjust the hold fee from your total.)
All of our samples come from our sister store White Dress Bridal Boutique. We do not purchase dresses from other brides, whether they have been worn or not.
