If you need a second appointment because you didn't purchase your wedding dress at the first appointment and want to return to purchase your dress, then for the second appointment there will be no charge. 

If a third appointment is desired then there will be an additional $100 charge for an appointment which will be applied towards the purchase cost of your wedding dress if purchased.
