Our FAQs
Planning your wedding is a journey - and we know that you'll have questions along the way! See our list of frequently asked questions below. Of course, if can't find the answer your question, don't hesitate to reach out. Our bridal specialists at USA Bridal are here to help!
Yes we are! USA Bridal is an Authorized Dealer for all the designers listed on our web site. We have a long-standing business relationship with each designer. You will receive the 'real' item from the designer not a cheaply made inferior quality knock off. Always make sure you are ordering from an Authorized Dealer.
- If at all possible have a professional seamstress/tailor take your measurements. If a professional is not available have a family member or friend measure you.
- DO NOT TAKE YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS, THEY WILL NOT BE ACCURATE.
- If possible get measured wearing the exact undergarments you will wear with your gown, slip, bra & shoes.
- You will be taking three measurements: bust, waist, and hip.
- Use a standard cloth measuring tape. Do not pull the tape tightly, hold it just tight enough to hold it in place.
Bust Measurement
Start with the measuring tape under your arms. Stand straight with your heels together and your arms down at your side. Position the measuring tape so that it covers the widest part of your back and the fullest part of your bust. Write the measurement down.
Waist Measurement
Stand straight, heels together and bend to your side. The bend is your natural waist. Stand straight and keep your heels together. Position the measuring tape around your natural waist. Write the measurement down.
Hip Measurement
Stand straight with your heels together and your arms down at your side. Position the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips. Write the measurement down.
Selecting Your Size
Compare your measurements to the designer's size chart that applies to your item. The designer's chart shows the approximate measurements that are used to make each size.
If your measurements do not match all three measurements exactly, this is normal. Designers suggest going with the largest size that matches your largest measurement. Remember a gown can be taken in, but taking a gown out will depend on the extra fabric in the seam. Almost all gowns/dresses will require some alterations.
A wear date is simply that, the date you will wear the item you are ordering. We request this information to make sure your item will arrive before your wear date. If we determine we cannot meet your wear date, you will be noti ed, your credit card is not charged and your order is not processed.
Most special order gowns or dresses take 8 to 16 weeks, a few designers take longer. Order in plenty of time to allow for fittings and alterations.
Many designers offer a 'rush delivery' on their gowns or dresses. For example if a designer's regular delivery is 12 to 14 weeks, they may offer a rush delivery that is 4 or 6 weeks. Rush deliveries are an add-on cost item. A rush delivery can only be requested at the time the order is placed. Not all designers offer a rush option.
Shipping is Free to anywhere in the continental United States. Hawaii, Alaska and international will require a shipping fee. You can call for this charge. We ship UPS ground. Other shipping including next day and overnight is available, at an extra cost. If special shipping is requested we will notify you of the additional cost.
We do ship to international destinations. After you place your order you will be notified of the cost of shipping your order and you must approve the additional cost before your order is processed.
Sales tax is charged on all orders at a rate of Kentucky sales percentages. At this time it is 6%.
Yes we do. USA Bridal has one of the largest bridal/prom operations in the United States. Our location has thousands of bridal gowns, hundreds of prom gowns, huge selection of MOB,
flower girl and special occasion dresses. Each Location also features a full service tuxedo store called Tuxedo Avenue.
Our stores do not handle or process online orders. Orders are shipped out of our online order-processing center. We are sorry but we cannot send them to a store for pickup.
