FAQ
Appointments are preferred on Saturdays - and walkins are welcome during the week. Although an appointment during the week is not required, it helps us to prepare things for you and ensure we’ll be able to assist you upon arrival so you’ll have the best possible experience!
We only have one requirement: underwear on your bottom half! Most formalwear dresses don't require a bra, however please feel free to bring one with you for modesty, if you prefer. If you plan to wear shapewear, I recommend bringing that as well.
Mother of the Wedding
Our Mother of the Wedding dresses range in price from $415-$1,100 and our samples range in size from 4 - 26W.
Bridesmaids
Bridesmaid dresses range in price from $175 - $325 and our samples range in size from 4 - 26.
For Bridesmaids purchases we ask for payment in full at the time of purchase.
Dresses can take 3 to 4 months. If your event is happening sooner than that, there are other options such as rushing an order or purchasing a sample - your stylist will know exactly what will work for you.
We recommend booking your Mother of the Wedding and Bridesmaids appointment 6 - 7 months from the event date to ensure time for delivery and alterations without incurring rush fees.
YES! You are welcome and encouraged to look through the dresses. When you find one that you would like to try on we will take it and put it in your dressing room. We recommend looking at each style to see what you might like to try on. If it is not in your size, we can most likely clip you in. Note that each dress in our store comes in different colors. They may come in several colors, so look broader than just the color you are wanting to wear for the event.
Please note: We don't have every dress on our website in stock to try on, so if you see something you like (even if listed as "In Stock") please call us to check availability.
This depends on what you are looking for! Please see the below:

Whether you are purchasing an item directly from our collection, or special ordering an item through one of our valued vendors, there are zero returns or exchanges at Lorraine Nicole’s once your order and payment has been placed.
It's our goal to make sure that each client is madly in love with the items they select at their appointment, as opting to purchase is both a financial and emotional commitment to that item. We can always make note of items you wish to "sleep on" but cannot guarantee their availability or price at a later time.
Absolutely! We also have WiFi if you want to Zoom/FaceTime with someone important who couldn't make it.
PS: We have found that videos tend to be even better than photos to capture your gown most accurately!
No, but we have referrals that we have personally used and loved!
