Frequently Asked Questions
-
Bridal consignment means we offer wedding gowns that are either brand new or previously worn once, at a fraction of traditional bridal store prices.
Each dress is carefully reviewed for quality, condition, and style so our brides can find something beautiful, timeless, and unique without compromising on the experience.
-
Most of our brides save anywhere from 40–70% off traditional retail pricing. Because our inventory is consignment-based, you’re able to access designer gowns at a much more approachable price point.
-
No — appointments are not required to shop for your gown during our regular store hours. Walk-in shopping allows you to browse our collection and try on dresses at your own pace. A Something Borrowed team member will be available to assist with clipping and general questions, though this is not a private or personalized appointment, as our staff may be assisting multiple shoppers at once.
For brides who prefer a more personalized, distraction-free experience, bridal appointments are available outside of regular store hours.
To schedule a bridal appointment, please visit our Bridal Appointments page.

Our inventory spans a wide range of bridal sizes, with availability changing frequently as one-of-a-kind gowns arrive and sell. Because we carry individual pieces rather than full size runs, sizing can vary from week to week. Because inventory is constantly changing, we recommend reaching out to see what is available in your size.
As a general guideline, wedding dresses are typically sized 1–2 sizes larger than everyday street clothing. For example, a bride who wears a street size 10 will often shop in bridal sizes 12–14. Formalwear tends to run smaller. It’s not you, it’s the gown. We always encourage brides not to focus on the number, but on how the dress feels and fits with the right adjustments.
-
We do not offer in-house alterations. However, we can recommend talented people for you to work with!

We carry a rotating selection of well-known designers as well as unique, lesser-known labels. Our styles range from classic and romantic to modern and minimalist. Because inventory is constantly changing, no two visits are ever the same.
