Daughters Of Simone HQ is a flagship non-traditional bohemian-Americana leaning bridal brand that carries only our line of bridal wear, unlike standard bridal boutiques that house various designers and traditional styles. Before making a visit, we highly recommend you take a look at our collections to ensure we are the right fit for what you're looking for. Daughters Of Simone gowns are designed and fit in-house and made in the highest quality fabrics & trims; 100% silks, French corded laces, and one of a kind prints and laces. DOS collections are launched each October at New York Bridal Week and are carried in cool-bride boutiques all over the world. If you find your gown at Daughters Of Simone you should feel like...yourself (+ a glow up!).
Daughters Of Simone gowns range roughly from $2,500 to $3,300.
We recommend purchasing our made to order gowns 5-7 months in advance of your wedding date. This is the ideal, however, not the absolute. Keep in mind, our gowns take 12-15 weeks to reach your door step (you are also welcome to pick it up at the HQ).
We do offer rush orders ($300), and also have a limited selection of Sample Sale gowns on hand that can be tried on and shipped immediately. However, we only allow made-to-order styles to be pulled for our private one-on-one fittings. If you would like to try on sample sale gowns we open up the boutique every 1st Thursday of the month from 11am-4pm. Here we bring out the racks of sample sale for more of a casual shopping experience. If you decide this option please limit the amount of guests you bring with you to 1-2.
Please pre-select your top 8 favorite gowns from our Collections page beforehand, and email them to us, so that we can lay them out for your arrival. We also suggest bringing nude seamless underwear, shoes a similar height to those you plan on wearing on the big day and a variety of low-back, stick-on & strapless bras. Bonus points for bringing any accessories you might wear to see the full picture. (No fresh spray tans, please.)

A DOS stylist will contact you prior to your appointment to find out your style preferences and get to know you a little. On the day of your fitting you will be welcomed into the space with a glass of Champagne (we have non-alcoholic options too!) and the 5-8 DOS gowns and/or veils of your choice will be laid out in preparation for your arrival. If a gown is chosen, and a purchase is made, we will take your measurements and order the closest dress size to be made.
Our in-store try-on samples largely range from medium-xl. However, we also carry a nice sized selection of gowns up to 5xl. Additionally, we have lots of creative ways to clip and structure gowns -- so don't stress. DOS prides itself on being size inclusive and body positive. If you have any questions about our in-house sample sizes or would like to request specific sizes and/or styles please email us at doshq@daughtersofsimone.com. We'd be happy to walk you through it.

Alterations are a separate cost from your DOS gown purchase. We do not have an in-house seamstress but have a list of seamstresses we can recommend to you who have worked with our gowns/brides in the past. (Please note that DOS does not receive a "kick back" should you choose to work with our recommended list nor are they employed through DOS.) You are, of course, also welcome to choose your own seamstress for alterations as well.
*Please allocate at least 30-45 days before your wedding date to receive your gown for any necessary alterations.
Because all DOS gowns and accessories are either made to order or small batch, all are final sale. We do not accept returns or exchanges.
Your gender, your gods, your sex life, your skin color, or your big shot uncle don’t make a difference here. Daughters of Simone is a progressive and open minded meritocracy. All are welcome… come as you are : )
