Yes, appointments are required at KBS. This helps ensure that every bride gets the full Kalon experience. Appointment books close two days prior to each date. Need an appointment sooner? Call us!

We recommend shopping 8-12 months prior to your big day to allow for typical production times and alterations once your dress arrives. However, if your big day is closer, don’t sweat! We work closely with our designers to stay up to date with current production times. All Kalon designers also offer a rush production when timelines are extra tight! We gotchu!

Our collection starts at $1750, with the majority of our gowns between $2000-$3000.

Sample sizes in the studio currently range from 8-16, with the majority between 12-14 and an ever-growing collection between 8-24. Our designers can be ordered in the following ranges:

• Vagabond : 2-20

• Jeune : 2-28 *with customizable cup sizes available

• Madi Lane : 2-28 *with customizable cup sizes available

• Love & Liberty : 2-26

Bridal appointments are 90 minutes.

Returning bridal appointments are 60 minutes.

Pick up appointments are 30 minutes.

First and foremost wear both an outfit and undergarments you feel comfortable and confident in! We recommend undergarments that fit well under formal attire like nude undies and a strapless bra or pasties. If you know what shoes you are wearing on your big day or plan to wear spanx, bring those too!

You can reschedule or cancel your appointment at anytime by giving us a call! If you need to cancel or reschedule within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment, you will be charged a $50 late cancellation fee.

We do not offer in-house alterations but we do have tailor recommendations in most areas of Iowa!

KBS requires 50% of your total transaction down to place the order for your gown. We are proud to offer payment plans and financing options for our brides. For more details, ask your stylist during your pre-appointment call or during your appointment!

We are located in the historic Frenchway Cleaner’s building and have ample parking in our lot just east of the building. There is also limited street parking available on Euclid Ave in front of our storefront.

Yes, you absolutely can say yes to the first dress you try on! As with all things in love, when ya know ya know. However, we do recommend trying on more than one dress to lock in your yes and prevent any doubts from creeping up before your dress arrives. Besides how many times do you get to play dress up as an adult?!

Give us a call ASAP! From there our stylists will get your appointment scheduled and look into current ship times for our designers. That way when you come to your appointment, we will have a selection of gowns that will arrive in time for your big day ready for you.

Yes, absolutely! Come on in! We can’t wait to get to know you and help you find your dream dress.
