IS Janene's Bridal in San Francisco A Sample Store?

Yes! We have one of the largest plus size departments available with almost 100 dresses available for you to sort through and try on. 

DO YOU CARRY PLUS SIZES?

We have over 600 dresses in our store ready for you to try on. Our list of current designers can be found on our “Wedding Dresses” tab.

WHAT DESIGNERS DO YOU CARRY?

No. We provide pedestals at each try on station to give the illusion of a heel in the dress. We ask that you try on the dresses barefoot. If you would like to bring a pair of shoes in, we will allow you to try on with the dress that you say yes to.

DO I NEED TO BRING SHOES TO MY APPOINTMENT?

Our dresses range from $800-$6000. If you are looking for a custom dress please call to inquire. 

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL BUDGET I SHOULD PLAN ON HAVING?

What sets our store apart from the rest in the area is our custom alterations and design department. Here we can add custom elements to your dress or change the one thing that is holding you back from saying yes.

WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE DRESS?

Yes. We ask that you keep your spanx thin and keep the thick shapewear and corsets at home. 

IS IT OKAY TO WEAR SPANX? 

We have bust cups and support built in to each of our dresses. Wearing a bra is optional, but we do suggest bringing a strapless one if you can so you aren't distracted by the straps in a strapless gown. 

SHOULD I WEAR A STRAPLESS BRA?

We suggest nude or white underwear to help minimize the colors from distracting your entourage. Underwear is a requirement for your appointments to help keep the dresses clean and sanitary for others trying on.

WHAT DO I WEAR TO MY TRY ON APPOINTMENT?

We suggest looking for a dress as soon as possible to ensure that your dress can be ordered in time and custom tailored to fit you like a glove before the big day. All of our options will be available to you with an 8-12 month time frame, but we do have some options starting at the 4 month window.
