When should you choose your wedding dress?
It’s a wonderful idea to browse the latest bridal gown trends online for inspiration and to gather initial impressions. This will give you a feel for what you like and which styles suit you.
But my heartfelt advice to you: Stay open-minded.
Often it’s precisely the wedding dresses that you wouldn’t have expected at first that later give you goosebumps and bring tears of joy.
Once your wedding date is set, the most wonderful journey begins – the search for your perfect wedding dress. To give yourself enough time for selection, ordering, and alterations, I recommend starting your search about 8 to 12 months before your wedding .
Early January is a particularly ideal time , as that’s when the new bridal collections arrive. You can expect a wide selection of current designs, modern cuts, and exquisite fabrics – perfect for finding your very own dream dress.

Do I need an appointment for a bridal fitting, or can I just drop by?
To ensure you can find your perfect wedding dress in a relaxed and unhurried manner, a personal consultation is essential. This is the only way I can dedicate the time you truly deserve – with my full attention to you and your wishes.
I recommend that you deliberately schedule your bridal fitting at a shop you trust. In my boutique, I reserve between 45 minutes and 3 hours for you so that we can discuss all your ideas together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Step by step we will find your dream dress – one that is not only beautiful, but perfectly suited to you and your personality .
Your visit should be more than just a fitting:
a special moment full of emotions, joy and perhaps even tears of joy.
That’s why I take exactly the time you need – without any rush, without any pressure.

How much time should you allow for your appointment?
I recommend you allow about 120 minutes for your wedding dress fitting – and don’t worry: this time is perfect to experience everything in a relaxed and pressure-free way.
These two hours are all about you, your wishes, and your ideas. Together, we’ll create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable and can fully immerse yourself in your special moment.
Here’s how your fitting will go:
At the beginning, we’ll take the time to talk about your wishes. Do you already have a specific idea in mind, or would you like to be inspired?
Do you love the boho style – light, playful, and natural?
Or does your heart beat for vintage wedding dresses with nostalgic charm?
Perhaps you’re looking for something glamorous that will make you shine, or a modern, elegant design ? Classic cuts or simple, romantic dresses
might also be just right for you.
Together we’ll find out:
– Which cuts suit you
– Whether you want to wear strapless, with sleeves or backless
– Whether you prefer a figure-hugging dress or a princess silhouette
– Which fabrics, colors or details (lace, glitter, simple) make you shine
How many accompanying persons are you allowed to bring?
Less is often more – this is especially true when it comes to who accompanies you on your wedding dress search. I recommend taking two or at most three close friends and family members who know you really well. You’re probably familiar with the saying, “Too many cooks spoil the broth” – and that’s exactly the case here. Too many opinions can quickly become confusing and make it harder for you to listen to your own instincts.
With a small, intimate group, you can focus much better on yourself, consciously enjoy the special moments, and receive the support you truly need. This allows you to more clearly sense which wedding dress makes you glow and simply feels right. Your fitting will thus become a harmonious, emotional, and unforgettable experience.
I’m looking forward to accompanying you on this special journey!

Who should accompany you when you buy your wedding dress?
The most wonderful thing is to accompany you only your closest confidants when choosing your dream dress . People who truly know you, understand you, and put your happiness first.
Particularly suitable are:
- Your mum
- Your sister
- Your best friend
- Your maid of honor
These kind-hearted people know what suits you, what fits you – and above all, what makes you shine .
Why the right support is so important:
With the right people by your side, you receive honest, loving feedback and feel safe and supported at the same time.
My tip:
Consciously choose people who encourage you, make you feel good, and respect your decision.
Because in the end, only one thing matters:
that YOU feel beautiful in your dress and say “YES” with complete conviction.

ow many wedding dresses are you allowed to try on?
I will accompany and advise you until you have found your perfect dream dress .
The rule of thumb is: less is often more.
Generally, four to six dresses are enough to develop a clear sense of what you truly like and what suits you best. Too many dresses can quickly become overwhelming and cause you to lose sight of what’s essential.
My approach for you:
I will put together a carefully selected range of wedding dresses – tailored to your wishes, your figure and your style. This way, your fitting remains relaxed, structured and entirely focused on you.
Enjoy every single moment
. Every dress brings you a step closer to your dream dress. The moment you see yourself as a bride in the mirror for the first time is indescribably beautiful – a moment full of emotions that you will never forget.
And then it happens…
You stand there, look at yourself in the mirror – and feel it deep inside: This is my dress, my dream dress.
Do n’t be afraid to express this feeling.
Say YES to your dress .
Don’t let the thought of needing to sleep on it unsettle you. If you feel it, you already know. This feeling comes from within – honest, clear, and entirely for you.
Trust yourself.
Your gut feeling is your best companion. Even if your loved ones mean well, in the end, only how YOU feel matters . Don’t let anything take you out of the moment.
No pressure – just feeling
. Don’t stress yourself out unnecessarily. Your dream dress isn’t a compromise, it’s a feeling. And that feeling is there immediately.
That’s the magic.
If you can’t say “YES” in this moment, it won’t suddenly feel different the next day.
Because that’s exactly what we’re looking for:
that one, genuine bridal feeling!
And if you feel it – then celebrate it.
You’ve found your dream dress.
Congratulations!
And I will be by your side right up until that moment.

Do you have all the dresses from the website also available in the store?
You can usually find most of the wedding dresses you see on our website and on our social media channels like Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok directly in our store. This gives you the opportunity to try on your favorites in person and experience your dream dress firsthand.
Important to know:
Our collection changes regularly as dresses sell out – especially for weddings booked at short notice. Therefore, in some cases, a particular style may no longer be available in the store.
My tip for you:
If you’ve fallen in love with a particular dress, it’s best to get in touch with me briefly before your appointment .
Simply send me a photo of your desired dress via WhatsApp or email so I can check if it’s currently available for purchase and fitting.

Should I bring anything to my fitting appointment? Here's how to best prepare for your wedding dress fitting.
To ensure your appointment is as relaxed, smooth and unforgettable as possible, I have put together a few simple but very helpful tips for you.
Fresh and preferably without makeup
: Please arrive freshly showered and – if possible – without makeup, but makeup is welcome for your bridal appointment. This will protect the dresses and allow you to look and feel completely natural.
Hairstyle according to your wishes
: Feel free to style your hair as you envision it for your wedding. This will help you better visualize the overall look.
The right clothing:
You don’t need to bring anything special.
Light -colored or skin-toned panties are an advantage, but not a requirement. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and can concentrate fully on your fitting.
Budget & Ideas:
Think about a rough budget for your wedding dress beforehand . Initial ideas about style, cut, or look will also help me to advise you specifically and select suitable dresses for you.
Photos & Inspiration:
Feel free to bring pictures of dresses you like or inspiration for your wedding style. This will give me an even better understanding of your wishes, and together we can bring your vision to life.
My heartfelt tip:
Come with anticipation – but without pressure. Let yourself be surprised, stay open and enjoy every moment.
With these small preparations, your wedding dress fitting will become a wonderful experience – and you’ll be one big step closer to your dream dress.
I look forward to accompanying you on this special journey!
How do I know if it's my dream dress?
Finding your wedding dress isn’t a rational moment – it’s a feeling . And that’s exactly how you’ll know you’ve found your dream dress.
You feel it instantly.
You put on the dress, look in the mirror – and suddenly there’s that special feeling.
A smile, goosebumps, maybe even tears of joy.
A real “Wow – that’s me!”
You feel beautiful and confident.
In your dress, you don’t feel like you’re in costume, but like the best version of yourself.
Light, radiant, special.
It fits – not just physically, but emotionally.
Of course, the dress fits well, but much more importantly:
it feels right.
You see yourself as the bride.
Suddenly, you can clearly imagine how you’ll look on your big day.
You see yourself walking down the aisle – in this very dress – your dream dress.
You have no more doubts.
In this moment, you stop comparing.
You stop searching.
You simply know and aren’t afraid to say “YES”!
My most important tip:
Trust your gut feeling.
Don’t let yourself be unsettled – not even by too many opinions.
If you feel it, then it’s your dress – your dream dress.
Not tomorrow. Not after sleeping on it.
Now. In this moment.
Say YES to your dream dress.
Let your heart decide, enjoy this magic and capture this moment.
Because that’s exactly what we’re looking for:
that one, genuine bridal feeling.
And when it’s there – celebrate it.
You’ve found your dress.
Congratulations!

I can't decide between two dresses – what should I do?
If you’re torn between two wedding dresses, you’re already very close to finding your dream dress.
Now it’s no longer about “right or wrong” – but about your feeling.
Try on both dresses again,
ideally under the same conditions – with a similar hairstyle or accessories.
Consciously tune into your feelings: In which dress do you feel more like yourself?
Imagine your wedding day.
In which wedding dress do you clearly see yourself?
Which one evokes more anticipation, more goosebumps?
Pay attention to your inner feeling!
In which wedding dress do you feel truly at home?
Where do you feel calm, secure, and that quiet “yes” within you?
Don’t let yourself be unsettled
. Your loved ones mean well – but it’s YOUR dress .
Too many opinions can confuse you more than help you.
The truth is quite simple:
you don’t have to wear a wedding dress for hours to know if it ‘s “the one . “
The magic often reveals itself immediately – you just have to say it.
If you don’t feel it right now, sleeping on it won’t change anything.
And if you do feel it – then you already know.
My heartfelt advice to you:
Follow the dress that touched you from the very beginning .
The dress that makes your heart beat faster.
Because that’s precisely the magic:
that one, genuine feeling.
Trust yourself – and say YES to your dream dress.
Congratulations!
I’m looking forward to accompanying you on this special journey!

Are photos allowed during the fitting?
Please be present with your heart – not with your phone.
Due to copyright restrictions on the part of the designers, taking photos and videos during consultations in the store is not permitted . We therefore ask you to refrain from taking any photos or videos, even secretly.
Why is this important?
We want to give you an undisturbed, emotional and very special moment – a moment in which you can fully concentrate on yourself and your feelings.
Your experience is the focus.
Without distractions from mobile phones or cameras, you can experience your fitting much more intensely, feel the magic and truly immerse yourself in this special moment.
My heartfelt wish for you:
Consciously enjoy every moment, trust your feelings and fully embrace this unique experience.
Because these memories are not created by photos –
but by what you feel.

How long is the delivery time for a wedding dress?
Your wedding dress is often specially ordered and made for you – with great attention to detail, high-quality workmanship and entirely according to your wishes.
Important for your planning:
Be sure to factor this time into your wedding preparations so that your dress arrives in time for your big day.
My tip:
Start your search early (approx. 8-12 months in advance) to allow enough time for delivery and any necessary changes.
Should the need be more short notice:
Don’t worry – we’ll find your dream dress together.
In my boutique in Munich-Giesing, a beautiful selection of wedding dresses awaits you, which you can try on and take home immediately .

Design changes & costs
Design changes are individual adjustments that are already taken into account when ordering your wedding dress – for example, adding sleeves, special appliqués or small design elements.
Important to know:
These changes – if offered by the designer – are commissioned directly from the manufacturer and implemented during production.
Your wedding dress will therefore be made in your desired style from the very beginning and delivered exactly as you requested.
Costs for design changes:
Since these adjustments are made by the designer, additional costs will be incurred , which will be discussed with you transparently before you place your order. They are not included in the original dress price .
Final Fitting (Fine Fitting):
Despite design changes, a final appointment with the tailor is necessary. During the so-called fine fitting, your dress is perfectly adjusted to your figure, ensuring an optimal fit and complete comfort.
Please note that alterations and adjustments by the seamstress will be charged separately .
These costs must be paid directly to the seamstress in cash and are not included in the price of the wedding dress.
This ensures that your dress fits perfectly and is individually tailored to you.
My goal:
A wedding dress that not only looks beautiful – but also feels perfect and is made for you .
I’m looking forward to accompanying you on this special journey!

Can I exchange or return my wedding dress or accessories?
Unfortunately, exchanges or returns of wedding dresses and accessories are not possible.
Each wedding dress is selected for you with great care and attention to detail, or individually ordered for you – often specifically according to your wishes and measurements.
How can you pay for your wedding dress?
Once you have decided on your dream dress during your fitting and given your verbal commitment to purchase, you will subsequently receive your purchase contract or invoice .
Payment is made immediately afterwards – completely uncomplicated and flexible.
The following payment methods are available to you:
- Cash payment
- Real-time transfer
- Instant bank transfer
- PayPal
Are the alteration costs included in the price?
No, the cost of alterations is not included in the purchase price of the wedding dress .
Important to know:
Alterations are charged separately and individually , depending on the complexity.
You decide which bridal seamstress you want to go to. Please discuss the desired alterations and costs directly with the seamstress beforehand.
Note:
Alterations are usually paid for in cash by the seamstresses .
My recommendation:
I have been working with experienced bridal seamstresses for over 20 years who are absolutely reliable. They will perfectly tailor your wedding dress to your body and make alterations true to the original design .
This way, your wedding dress will ultimately become your very own dream dress.
Can I rent my wedding dress?
Unfortunately, I do not offer wedding dress rentals .
Why?
I firmly believe that you should own your own dream dress – a dress that will remind you of your special day for a lifetime.
Your wedding dress is more than just a dress:
it is a keepsake full of emotions that you can look at with a smile even years later –
a symbol of the love that connects you with your husband and represents the beginning of a new, beautiful phase of life.
A moment for eternity – your dress forever – your fairytale.

How can you properly store your wedding dress?
Can I wear a long wedding dress in the summer – isn't that too hot?
Yes, absolutely!
You can easily wear a long wedding dress even in summer – it all depends on choosing the right fabric and cut .
The best fabrics for warm days:
Opt for light, flowing materials like silk, chiffon, or soft tulle. These fabrics are breathable and ensure you feel comfortable even in high temperatures.
The right design makes all the difference:
- Airy cuts
- Flowing skirts
- Less severe situations
- Backless or lightweight tops
My tip:
Avoid heavy, stiff fabrics and opt for lightness – this way you’ll stay pleasantly cool even at a summer wedding, under palm trees or on the beach, and can enjoy your day to the fullest.
Because your dress should make you shine – not make you sweat.

When should the groom choose his outfit?
Once you’ve found your dream dress, the groom should also choose his outfit – ideally, this should happen at the same time as your search for the wedding dress. This gives you the opportunity to perfectly coordinate your looks and create a harmonious overall impression that stylishly underscores your big day.
To make the coordination process as easy as possible, you will receive a fabric sample of your wedding dress from me or the seamstress. This allows colors and materials – whether for the shirt, suit, or accessories – to be perfectly matched, creating a harmonious overall look.
My tip:
Make sure your style and color scheme harmonize without looking like you’re in costume. It looks particularly sophisticated if the groom chooses a slightly darker shade of fabric. This creates elegant contrasts that appear both modern and timeless.

With great sensitivity and experience, I will gladly support you in choosing colors and coordinating styles so that you complement each other perfectly as a couple and shine together on your big day.
Item #15Why are wedding dresses often so cheap online?
CAUTION IS ADVISED!
Extremely low prices on the internet are often a warning sign .
What’s behind it?
Often, original images from well-known designers are used to create the illusion of a high-quality dress.
The dress actually delivered then often doesn’t match the original – neither in quality, fabric, nor fit.
The reality:
- Inferior materials
- Poor workmanship
- Significant differences from the model shown
- No or difficult returns
My tip:
A wedding dress is something very special – focus on quality, honest advice and trust .
Because in the end, your dress shouldn’t just look beautiful, it should feel beautiful too.
A supposed bargain can quickly turn into a disappointment –
your dream dress should never.
What if my wedding dress needs alterations? Does BRAUTfeeling work with a tailor?
Should your wedding dress need alterations or adjustments, you can relax – this is perfectly normal and part of the process for almost every dress. Every bride is unique, and that’s precisely why your wedding dress will be individually tailored to you, ensuring it fits perfectly on your big day and feels as wonderful as it looks.
Wedding dresses are a true passion of mine. Even when selecting my collections, I pay close attention to the highest quality, premium materials, and an optimal fit. Nevertheless, minor alterations, for example to the length, bust, or waist area, are usually necessary to tailor your dress perfectly to you.
With the seamstress of your choice, you’re in the best hands. From the initial fitting to the final finishing touches, your wedding dress will be handled with the utmost care. I trust experienced, professional seamstresses who practice their craft with great sensitivity, precision, and passion.
They cater to your individual wishes and ensure that your dress fits perfectly and feels exactly right on your big day – as if it were made for you.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, I recommend booking an appointment with your seamstress immediately after purchasing your dress. The final alterations should ideally take place about four to six weeks before your wedding, or about one week before if you are pregnant.
This way you can concentrate fully on the anticipation and be sure that everything will be perfect on your big day – and that you will feel completely comfortable and beautiful.
I have compiled my recommendations from seamstresses with whom I have worked trustingly for over 20 years, clearly and concisely for you .
Are the alteration costs included in the price of the wedding dress?
The cost of alterations is not included in the purchase price of the wedding dress .
These are calculated separately by the seamstress, depending on the complexity of the alterations, and are usually paid in cash on site.
To ensure your wedding dress fits perfectly and all your wishes are precisely fulfilled, I recommend relying exclusively on highly qualified and experienced bridal seamstresses. This way, you can be sure your wedding dress will be optimally tailored and that you will feel completely comfortable and beautiful on your big day.
My tip:
Be sure to clarify the expected costs directly with the seamstress beforehand. Professional bridal seamstresses typically work at an hourly rate of around €85, but often calculate alterations based on the total time spent rather than strictly by the hour. Therefore, always ask for an estimate in advance so you know exactly what costs to expect.
I have compiled my recommendations from seamstresses with whom I have worked trustingly for over 20 years, clearly and concisely for you .
What costs should I expect for alterations at the tailor's?
Wedding dresses are a true passion of mine. That’s why I pay close attention to the highest quality, premium materials, and a perfect fit when selecting my collections. Nevertheless, almost every dress requires a “fine fitting” to perfectly tailor it to your individual measurements. Alterations to the bust – including push-up if desired – waist, or length are among the most common adjustments.
Alterations typically cost between €250 and €450 .
For more elaborate dresses, such as those with lace or tulle, the price can range from €350 to €550 due to the increased labor involved . Please note that these costs are not included in the purchase price of the wedding dress.
Alterations usually take place about 4 to 8 weeks before your wedding , or later for weddings planned at short notice or in the case of pregnancy. I recommend contacting your seamstress immediately after purchasing your dress and scheduling an appointment well in advance.
Most professional bridal seamstresses work for an hourly rate of around €85 , but often calculate the price based on the total cost. Therefore, it’s important to clarify the expected costs beforehand to ensure you have some planning certainty. Payment is usually made directly to the seamstress in cash on site.
For over 20 years, I have collaborated with experienced, independent bridal seamstresses who practice their craft with the utmost precision and sensitivity. From the initial fitting to the final finishing touches, your wedding dress is in the best hands. Of course, you are also free to commission a seamstress of your own choosing.
This way you can be sure that your wedding dress fits perfectly – and that you feel completely comfortable and beautiful on your big day.

What do I need to bring to the seamstress?
For your wedding dress fitting, it’s important that you’re well-prepared so that your dress can be perfectly tailored to you. Please bring the following items to your appointment:
Your underwear , especially your bra, adhesive pads or ideally a corset that you also want to wear on your wedding day – it is crucial for the optimal fit of the dress.
If you plan to wear a petticoat or hoop skirt , you should bring it along as well, since it will affect the shape and drape of the dress.
Your bridal shoes are also essential so that the length of your dress can be adjusted exactly.
Please bring the same items with you to the final fitting or when you pick up your altered dress to ensure that everything fits perfectly.
I have compiled my recommendations from seamstresses with whom I have worked trustingly for over 20 years, clearly and concisely for you .
Important: You will need to pick up your dress in person from the seamstress. This allows you to check on-site that everything exactly matches your expectations and that your wedding dress is ready for your big day.
2 weeks before – Final wedding dress check
Make sure you try on your wedding dress one last time – because everything should fit perfectly on your big day. About two weeks before the wedding is the ideal time to ensure your dress fits perfectly and you feel completely comfortable.
Should any minor adjustments be necessary, these can usually still be made without any problems. This way, you can look forward to your big day completely relaxed and full of anticipation.
My tip:
Contact your seamstress in good time and arrange your appointment early enough so that everything runs smoothly and your dream dress perfectly accompanies you.

Can I have the changes made elsewhere?
After you have paid for your wedding dress in full, you can of course have the desired alterations done by a seamstress of your choice.
However, I recommend that you have the alterations done by my external seamstresses. I have been working with experienced bridal seamstresses for over 20 years, and they specialize in alterations to bridal wear.
Thanks to their expertise, sensitivity, and experience, they know exactly what matters in a wedding dress. This ensures that your dress fits perfectly and meets your expectations down to the smallest detail.

Strapless wedding dress – so everything stays in place
A perfectly fitted and professionally laced strapless wedding dress stays reliably in place. Crucial to this is the experience and skill of a first-class seamstress who tailors your dress precisely to your body.
Your dress will typically be tailored to fit snugly at the hips and prevent it from slipping. It might feel a little tighter when you first try it on – that’s perfectly normal. The fabric will adjust slightly with your body heat, so the dress should feel a bit snug when you put it on.
I have compiled my recommendations from seamstresses with whom I have worked trustingly for over 20 years, clearly and concisely for you .
To make you feel completely safe, here are a few helpful tips:
Make a conscious effort to move around during your fitting appointment – raise your arms, sit down, or bend forward. This way, you’ll quickly notice whether your wedding dress truly fits perfectly and provides sufficient support.
If you are still unsure, there are additional options such as fine straps, a halter neck or a so-called “safety belt” – an elastic band that is incorporated inside and provides additional support.
My personal tip:
Wear a strapless top in your everyday life for about three days before your wedding. This will help your body—and especially how you feel about it—get used to it. Often, it’s all in your head. Technically speaking, a properly fitted dress can’t slip down because your ribcage is wider than your waist, ensuring the dress stays securely in place.
This way you can move freely, relax and simply feel completely comfortable and beautiful on your big day.
Do I need to have my wedding dress cleaned beforehand?
No , you don’t need to have your wedding dress cleaned before the wedding. Since it’s a new dress, it’s already in perfect condition.
Professional cleaning is only advisable after your wedding, as your dress will be worn on this special day and minor soiling may occur. This ensures that your wedding dress is in top condition afterwards – whether as a keepsake, for storage, or for later resale in a second-hand shop.
Can a wedding dress be worn again later, dyed, or altered?
Yes, in many cases you can wear your wedding dress again after the wedding with a few minor alterations. By making targeted alterations – for example, shortening, simplifying, or adjusting individual elements – your dress can be beautifully transformed into an elegant evening or event dress.
It’s best to discuss the options directly with the seamstress who altered your dress. She’s in the best position to assess which changes are practical and feasible for your specific style.
Dyeing your wedding dress is also a beautiful option to give it a completely new look. Depending on the fabric and workmanship, your dress can take on a whole new appearance and become wearable for many more occasions.
This way, your wedding dress will not only remain a memory, but can also accompany you in special moments in the future.

Are there parking options near the boutique?
Yes, there are numerous paid parking options available in the surrounding streets. These are located in the immediate vicinity of the boutique, so you can reach your appointment in a relaxed manner and without a long walk.
Please pay attention to the respective parking times and fees so that you can enjoy your visit with us in peace.
