1 | What is a bridal trunk show?
A trunk show is a unique event where LoversLand partners with celebrated designers from across the globe to showcase their exclusive collections of gowns. These events span over the course of a few days, so mark your calendars, and schedule your appointment early to avoid missing out.

3 | What's the deal with trunk show sizing?
Trunk show sizing sometimes means sample sizing...this can make things a little tricky because these sizes aren't always realistic for the average women's body. Be open, and make sure to look for images of real brides wearing these gowns. This will give you a better idea of how the dress will fit after it comes in your size, and alterations are complete.
