Fashion Friday- Gown Buying Tips

 

 

Before you buy your wedding gown, here are some helpful tips and facts from Designer Maggie Sottero and Midgley.

Purchasing a Gown

Can I buy my gown directly from Maggie Sottero?
We’re thrilled you are interested in wearing a Maggie Sottero or Sottero and Midgley gown and we would love to be part of your big day! We partner with local Authorized Retailers all over the world who are happy to assist you in finding your dream gown, as we do not sell gowns directly to brides. To find an Authorized Retailer near you, use our Store Locator.

Is it safe to buy my gown online?
We can only guarantee authenticity of a Maggie Sottero Designs gown if it has been purchased from one of our Authorized Retailers. Purchasing a gown from unauthorized sources, online or otherwise, may involve certain risks including copies, counterfeits, or knock-off Maggie Sottero or Sottero and Midgley gowns. At Maggie Sottero Designs, it’s our aim to ensure our brides are radiant and happy on their wedding day, complete with the wedding dress of their dreams. Here are a few suggestions while shopping online:

Do your Homework
– Have you found a gown you’ve fallen in love with? Check the Store Locator on our website and call to see if they have the dress in stock. Working with an Authorized Retailer ensures authenticity of a Maggie Sottero or Sottero and Midgley gown.

Check the Advertised Price
– If the price of a Maggie Sottero Designs gown is significantly below the prices prevailing in the market, it’s likely the dress is not a genuine Maggie Sottero or Sottero and Midgley gown.

Look at Pictures
– Many manufacturers forbid the use of their photos on unauthorized sites. If a site you’re looking at has strange imagery, blurry resolution, or models with cropped heads, you may be on a counterfeit site.

Contact Information
– Check the “About Us” or “FAQ” section of the website you’re on. Look to see where the company is based. If they’re an Authorized Retailer, the store information on their website will match the store information on our Store Locator.

How do I confirm that a store is an Authorized Retailer?
There are a few ways to verify a store is indeed an Authorized Retailer. First, check to ensure they are listed on our Store Locator page on our website, as each and every Authorized Retailer will be listed there. Authorized Retailers should also have an “Authorized Maggie Sottero Retailer” or “Authorized Sottero and Midgley Retailer” seal in their store window. If the shop you are considering buying a Maggie Sottero or Sottero and Midgley gown from meets these requirements, please be assured they are an Authorized Retailer, and will provide you with an authentic Maggie Sottero or Sottero and Midgley gown.

I’ve ordered my Maggie Sottero gown… When should I expect it?
For ordering and shipping information, please check with your Authorized Retailer. Delivery time may vary from style to style, and your Authorized Retailer will have the most updated information for your particular dress
