The experience
At Lilie by Dragone, we know that choosing THE perfect dress is both exciting and full of questions. To guide you gently and clearly through this beautiful adventure, we’ve gathered here the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Do I need to make an appointment to try on dresses?
Yes. To offer you an intimate and attentive experience, all our fittings are by appointment only. This allows us to welcome you in a completely private, uninterrupted space.
How long does an appointment last?
Appointments for brides last on average 1h30. For mothers of the bride, bridesmaids or others, the average appointment is 1:00. This gives us time to discuss your needs, try on several models and live this unique moment to the full, without pressure.
How many people can I invite with me?
We recommend a maximum of 6 guests to ensure a comfortable and intimate atmosphere in our fitting room. This also allows you to receive sincere and sympathetic feedback.
What sample sizes do you offer?
Most of our samples are in sizes 8 to 12, allowing us to adapt as much as possible to different silhouettes.
What are the prices of your dresses?
Our bridal gowns range mainly from $1,800 to $3,500, with a few models below or above that depending on the collection. For mothers of brides, bridesmaids and others, prices range from around $200 to $1,200. We’re committed to offering quality, fashionable and affordable dresses.
Do you offer touch-ups?
Yes! We work with an experienced professional seamstress, who will make all the necessary adjustments to ensure that your gown is perfectly tailored to your image. This service is extra, and prices vary according to need. You can choose another seamstress without any problem.
When should I start my search?
We recommend starting 9 to 12 months before the wedding. This gives you plenty of time to order your dress, make alterations and enjoy a stress-free wedding. For mothers of the bride, bridesmaids and others, 3 to 6 months is ideal.
Can I buy a dress directly at my appointment?
Some dresses are available for immediate sale, but most must be ordered from the designer. If you’re on a tight deadline, we’ll do our best to support you with in-store options.
What types of dresses do you offer?
We select fashionable, modern, elegant and comfortable dresses, designed mainly in Canada and Australia. You’ll find a variety of cuts (A-line, mermaid, ballgown…), lightweight fabrics and styles to suit every personality.
Do you offer accessories?
Yes, we have a refined selection of veils, jewelry, belts, gloves and hair accessories to complete your outfit with style and consistency.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or postpone your appointment, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows us to offer this moment to another bride-to-be.
Do I have to pay for the appointment?
No, all our appointments are free of charge, whether for bridal, mother-of-the-bride, bridesmaid or evening gown fittings. We believe that every woman deserves a no-pressure fitting experience, in an intimate and welcoming setting.
What should I bring with me to my fitting?
It’s all about you! But to make you feel even more at home, we recommend you bring :
- Flesh-colored underwear (without patterns)
- A strapless bra (if you wear one)
- Shoes of a similar height to those you’ll be wearing on the big day
- Seamless underwear.
- Inspirations or photos of dress styles you’d like to try (you can save them on your phone or create a Pinterest board!). This will help us better understand your tastes and suggest the most suitable models.
- Above all, surround yourself with caring people who will make you feel beautiful and listened to.
What happens when I find my dress?
What a magical moment! Once you’ve fallen in love, we move on to the ordering stage.
An 80% deposit is required to confirm the order of your dress with the designer. The balance is payable upon receipt of the dress in the boutique. We guide you every step of the way with transparency and gentleness. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept credit and debit cards. If you have any special requirements, don’t hesitate to talk to us – we’re always open to making your life easier.
do you have a question that isn't there?
Don’t hesitate to write to us, we’d love to help.
