Mara Urshel, Co-Owner of Kleinfeld

Who should you turn to for the dress of your dreams? Mara talks about picking the right bridal boutique and selecting your undergarments.

Q: What should a bride look for in a bridal shop?

A: Brides should look for a reputable bridal shop that offers a large selection of gowns, complete services such as alterations, and one-stop shopping — for veils, shoes and accessories. They may also want to ask friends for recommendations.

Q: What are the advantages of buying in a bridal shop over having a gown made or buying online?

A: Knowledgeable staff and bridal consultants to guide you and answer all your questions. It is important to purchase from a salon that has great customer service and quality control.

Q: What store policies are important?

A:

  • "By appointment only," to ensure you will get all the time and attention you need.
  • 60 percent deposit to order: Do not pay in full until your gown arrives at the store.


Read the contract carefully, and be aware of the cancellation policy.

Q: When should a bride choose her undergarments and shoes?

A: The undergarments can be chosen at the first fitting; the shoes need to be selected by the first fitting.

Q: What gown fabrics are most likely to reveal undergarment seams or lines?

A: Bias-cut silk charmeuse.
