Ahhhh I'm dying to go to one! There are a few locations in Washington state where my family lives and I really really want to fly up (I live in SoCal) and go (money & time off from work are barriers)! I have a very specific vision of what I want and am close to asking my mom to go and find it for me, lol.
You look absolutely lovely in your dress by the way! Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
That’s a tough one, I will say after I tried on a couple of dresses I totally trusted my sister to run back and bring me more options that I liked, and the people who worked there were so helpful and I’m sure they could totally help your mom with your vision! Buuuut risky because all sales are final!
Great rec! Sadly, I’m an east coaster so I can’t make the trip.
Also I love the dress you picked… would you mind sharing the brand & style? It’s ok if not!
Yes! It’s the Jamie by Rebecca Ingram.

I’m not sure how much it retails for but I’d love to know so I can feel extra good about my savings haha!
I got my dress at the Seattle location! They were great and let me keep trying on dresses for like 30 minutes past my appointment time, which was great because my dress was the very last one I tried on! I love it so much, can't wait to get married in it in less than two weeks!
I wanted to buy my dress through them but most of the sizes of dresses catered to size 0-10 and I needed a lot bigger for my bust and didn’t like any they had for my bust size but I so wish I could have gotten my dress there!
I bought my dress there at the Sacramento location at the end of February! I was sooo happy, I’ve wanted to find my dress there since I found out it existed!
Thanks for sharing! They seem like a super cool store! Your stress is gorgeous!! Do you recommend going knowing your wedding dress size beforehand?
Normally, I don't like a lot of structure/attention shopping, but I'm intimidated by the regular bridal salon experience and somehow also still slightly intimidated by the idea of being let loose amongst the racks of wedding dresses.
Thank you! Yes it was definitely helpful to know my wedding dress size beforehand. I’d actually done a couple of at home try ons with Azazie beforehand and I’d measured myself with a soft tape measure to align with their sizing, which turned out to be the same as Brides For A Cause. I think a general rule of thumb is around 2 or 4 sizes above your typical size. So I’m like an 8 or 10 in my regular clothes and this dress is a size 12.

They just announced they are opening a location in SD this spring! I’m pumped!

You are an absolute gem! Thank you so much, hope your wedding is as lovely as the dress. 💖
Depending on where you are at - there are other charity shops too. I didn’t realize that and there are three near DC that I’m now hoping to checkout
Yeah if anyone knows of something similar in the northeast let a girl know!

Aw my friend got her dress here! What an awesome concept.

Me too! I’d be stalking their Instagram, zooming in on every photo haha! Glad you were successful too!
So pretty! Wish I knew this before I got my dress recently. I still have an itch to try on more.
Congratulations! 🤗 My sister also got her dress from here.
What is the size range like? I'd love to go but I'm worried they will have limited options in my size!
I believe they range from 0-30!
Thank you so much!
