Since their boutique became a reality in 2013, Saved by the Dress has shipped near 400,000 orders and has achieved an astounding 1,150% sales growth in just three years, is ranked as the #23 top retail companies and #15 in Miami.

A huge part of Saved by the Dress’ tremendous success has to do with their mission to help provide customers with a one of a kind shopping experience with exceptional customer service, affordability, and extremely fast shipping.
