Consignment versus Thrift...

Consignment. One little word conjures up very specific ideas.

Bridal Consignment. These two words DEFINATELY conjure up specific ideas. Some not so accurate...

When first opening, we weren't sure how Greenville brides would feel about buying a gown at a consignment store. So we set out to create an intimate, upscale boutique that feels like a quaint, traditional bridal store.

Some brides have almost sneered when asking if our dresses are "used". As if this is a store full of old, dirty, out of date dresses that haven't been taken care of, and have been >OH MY< worn once before. Actually sneered!

Some brides have walked up to the door, read "Bridal Consignment Boutique" and literally turned around to get back in the car and drive away. Why don't you stop in and take a look? You will be pleasantly surprised!

Many don't realize that consignment is not the same thing as THRIFT.  We do not take in just any old dress. We have rules, cleaning requirements, & age restrictions. Gowns are not dropped off in trash bags. While thrift stores are great means of funding for local charities, consignment stores function differently.

Not all of our gowns have been worn before. We have a great selection of couture and designer sample gowns that come from various bridal stores. None of these gowns have been worn or altered. So, if you are willing to buy off the rack at a bridal store's sample sale, then stop in here too! We have amazing designer sample gowns that are ALWAYS marked down.

Buying a wedding gown is one of the most important purchases you will ever make in your life. We want to help you find an AMAZING gown that makes you look and feel beautiful. Go ahead. Take a chance. Stop in and see what we are all about. You might just find THE dress!

"I Found the Gown"

If you are newly engaged, you have probably watched your fair share of TLC's "Say Yes To The Dress." Beautiful store, fabulous consultants, and gorgeous gowns. While their designer, couture gowns are beautiful, sometimes their price tags are a little steep. I don't know too many people with a $5000+ budget for a wedding gown.



For those brides who want that designer gown without paying full price, there is a new TLC show, "I Found the Gown." Designer dresses are sold off-the-rack at discounted prices. Great concept! Wish there was a store like that near you?




THERE IS!

The Dress, in Mauldin, is only 15 minutes from downtown Greenville! With a store full of off-the-rack designer gowns at 30-50% off retail prices, you are sure to find the perfect gown within your budget. Allure, Essence of Australia, Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Jasmine, Paloma Blanca, Valentina, and more!



Not only do we take previously worn gowns in on consignment (with certain restrictions), but we work with a variety of bridal stores and sell their previous season's discontinued gowns for a fraction of the retail price! New dresses arrive every week, so there is always something new to try on. Prices range from $350-$1800,  but REMEMBER, our gowns are 30-50% off retail prices. No need to wait for an annual sample sale!

Stop in and see what's new!

Saturday Appointments

We have been getting extremely busy on Saturdays! Since our store is small, and our space is limited, we have decided to change our Saturday hours and open by appointment only from 11- 4. We do not want any bride to have to wait for a dressing room, or feel rushed to try on gowns because other brides are waiting. We want every bride to have personalized attention and have a relaxed shopping experience!

If you would like to book an appointment on a Saturday, please book at least 24 hours in advance. We have 2 dressing rooms, so we will take 2 appointments at the same time. Appointments will be allotted a two hour time period. Since our store has limited space, please do not bring an extra large entourage.

Please call 864.289.9434 to reserve a dressing room

We are also open Wednesdays - Fridays from 11:30-6 and Sundays from 1-5. Appointments are not needed on those days!
