ABOUT THE BOUTIQUE: 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!).
WHAT IS THE PRICE RANGE FOR DOS GOWNS?
Daughters Of Simone gowns range roughly from $2,500 to $3,300.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO PURCHASE MY DRESS? 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).
MY WEDDING IS COMING UP QUICK! DO I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO ORDER MY GOWN?
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.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
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.)
CAN I TRY ON SAMPLE SALE GOWNS AT MY APPOINTMENT?

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING MY APPOINTMENT? 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.
WHAT TRY-ON SIZES DO YOU CARRY? 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.
