From the reviews
My mom and I came by the Sample Shoppe just to take a look. But I ended up saying yes to the dress. Kylie was amazing and was such a big help making me feel beautiful, and matching my dress with the perfect veil! I highly recommend this shop for the dresses, and the service!
The Sample Shoppe was my first and only wedding dress shopping appointment. I ended up canceling all the others. I shopped in April 2025 for our October 2025 wedding. I chose my favorites online and they allowed me and my group to shop around the store for additional try-on selections.
I recently had the most wonderful experience at The Sample Shop while searching for my wedding dress. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Kylie, my bridal stylist, was absolutely top tier. She truly understood my vision and took the time to learn what I liked and didn’t like.
I had such a great experience at The Sample Shoppe! Nya was wonderful throughout the whole dress shopping process and made me feel comfortable right away. With my wedding next month, Nya reassured me and was so helpful with recommendations that worked for my deadline.
Plus size bridal & formal at The Sample Shoppe
The Sample Shoppe comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
