What should I bring to my appointment?
Be sure to bring the following 5 things to your Kleinfeld appointment: budget parameters, pictures of dresses, bridal accessories and shoes (if you already have them), proper undergarments (remember, you’ll be changing in front of a stranger; if you plan on wearing spanks or a strapless bra, please bring them) and most importantly, an open mind! Don’t be surprised if you find “the dress” on your first visit to Kleinfeld.

What is a special-order dress?
Most of the dresses sold by Kleinfeld are special-order. A special-order dress is made specifically for you by a designer, based on the measurements we take from you, the designer then uses their pattern that is closest to your measurements to create your dress. Then during the alterations process we will fit it to your body perfectly.
How do you determine which size I will order?
Once you’ve chosen your dress, a Bridal Manager takes 3 or more measurements typically, bust, waist, and hips. The dress is ordered from the designer according to your largest measurement, enabling your seamstress to alter the dress at your fitting appointments.
Can I order extra fabric and/or swatches of my gown?
We will be happy to take a small sample from your actual dress when it arrives from the designer. Since dye lots vary widely, this will give you the best color to use for matching.
Can I customize my wedding dress? Example: Add sleeves?
Depending on the designer, customizations are available for an additional fee.
