FAQ

Have a question?? We have an answer….. The following is a list of our most frequently asked questions :

I’m looking to book an appointment to try on Bridal gowns…. 

We are a design studio and not a traditional bridal store. We DO NOT carry a wide variety of gowns from different designers. We DO carry a selection of redesigned and upcycled gowns in a variety of styles. These gowns can be viewed online with product specific such as size….. If you see a gown you like in your size, please contact us to book an appointment! If you are looking to have something designed, we suggest you narrow down a design/ style of gown you are wanting made, OR find a gown that is workable (meaning it fits and with some tweaking and redesigning it will be perfect!). Once you have done your research, please contact us to book your appointment! 

Do I need an appointment or is drop in ok?

Yes, please book ahead. We can serve you better with a one on one appointment. We operate and sell our accessories mainly online ( www.xoxocouture.ca), But our alterations studio is based out of our home, So please, no surprises and book ahead.
