How to Try On Bridesmaid Dresses & Groomsmen Suits at Home Before You Buy

Quick Summary

  • You can try bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits at home through Revelry's Home Try-On program for $10 per sample, with free shipping on orders of up to 3 samples.
  • Samples ship within 2–3 business days of ordering, and you get 3 full business days to try them on once they arrive.
  • Every Home Try-On box includes a prepaid return label, so sending samples back costs nothing extra.
  • Home Try-On runs as two separate programs — one for bridesmaid dresses, one for groomsmen suits.
  • Trying on the same style and fabric you later order made-to-order unlocks Revelry's Fit Commitment, which covers a remake if the final garment doesn't fit like the sample did.

The most reliable way to try on bridesmaid dresses or groomsmen suits at home is through Revelry's Home Try-On program: order actual sample garments for $10 per sample, with free shipping on orders of up to 3 samples, try them on in your own space, then send them back using the prepaid label already in the box. It solves the biggest source of anxiety in bridal party shopping — committing to a dress or suit for someone else's wedding without ever seeing it, feeling the fabric, or knowing how it fits, especially when a wedding party is scattered across different cities. Below, we walk through exactly how the program works, what it costs, and how it connects to Revelry's fit guarantee once you place your made-to-order order.

How Home Try-On Works

  1. Choose your styles. Select up to 3 dress or suit styles and sizes to try at home. (Dresses and suits are ordered through separate Home Try-On collections — more on that below.)
  2. Pay $10 per sample. Shipping is free on orders of up to 3 samples.
  3. Receive your box. Samples ship from Revelry's warehouse within 2–3 business days of placing your order, using the delivery speed selected at checkout.
  4. Try everything on. You get 3 full business days to try on your samples. The day the box arrives doesn't count, and neither do weekends or holidays — so the window only runs on days you actually have the garments in hand.
  5. Ship it back. Each box includes a prepaid return shipping label tucked inside the "Revelry Curated Closet" brochure. If it's missing, Revelry's team can send a replacement.
  6. Order with confidence. Once you've confirmed size, fit, and fabric feel, place your made-to-order dress or suit. If you order the same style and fabric you tried on, you're covered by Revelry's Fit Commitment.

What Home Try-On Costs

The $10-per-sample fee covers the cost of maintaining and shipping Revelry's sample inventory — the team that curates, quality-checks, and rotates thousands of try-on garments so they arrive in wearable condition. It isn't a refundable deposit and it doesn't credit toward a future order; it's simply the price of the try-on service itself. Shipping is free on orders of up to 3 samples.

What You'll Receive

Home Try-On samples arrive in Revelry's standard 46" length, in whatever color happens to be in rotation for that style and size at the time — Revelry can't accommodate requests for a specific color in a Home Try-On box, since samples are pulled from shared inventory that's constantly being returned, inspected, and reshipped to the next customer. That makes Home Try-On the right tool for checking fit, fabric feel, and construction. If you need to confirm an exact color for your wedding palette, order free fabric swatches instead (more on the difference below).

Home Try-On for Dresses vs. Suits

Revelry runs Home Try-On as two separate programs so bridesmaids and groomsmen can each try on the pieces relevant to them:

Both programs follow the same $10-per-sample, up-to-3-sample free-shipping structure.

Sizing & Availability

If the style or size you want to try is temporarily out of stock, that's typically because Home Try-On inventory is shared and constantly rotating — as boxes are returned and processed, styles and sizes cycle back into availability. Sign up for a restock notification on the style you want rather than assuming it's gone for good.

Shipping & Timeline

  • Home Try-On dresses and suits ship within 2–3 business days of order placement.
  • You get 3 full business days to try samples on once they arrive (the delivery day, weekends, and holidays don't count against you).
  • Returns ship back using the prepaid label included in your box — no need to buy postage.

The Return Process

Send your samples back using the prepaid return label included in your Home Try-On box (look for it in the "Revelry Curated Closet" brochure). Samples should be returned in their original condition — Revelry's Home Try-On Damage Fees Policy allows for a damage fee if a sample is returned visibly worn, altered, or damaged beyond normal handling, since these same garments are reshipped to the next customer trying that style.

Why Home Try-On Matters: The Fit Commitment

Home Try-On isn't just a preview — it's connected to Revelry's fit guarantee on made-to-order garments. If you try on a style and fabric through Home Try-On, then order your made-to-order dress or suit in that same style and fabric, Revelry holds itself to matching that fit:

  • You must report a fit concern within 5 business days of your made-to-order garment's delivery.
  • The garment must be unworn, unaltered, with tags attached.
  • Revelry will provide a prepaid return label and instructions.
  • Revelry will aim to remake the garment in the same style and fabric in a different size at no additional cost. Because garments are made-to-order, a remake can take up to 6 weeks; if your timeline doesn't allow for that, Revelry may offer an alternative style, color, or resolution instead.
  • Voluntary or preference-based alterations (hemming, strap adjustments, routine waist tailoring) aren't covered by this commitment — it's specifically for cases where the made-to-order piece doesn't match the fit of the Home Try-On sample.

This is what separates Home Try-On from a typical "sample sale" or generic swatch service: it's directly tied to a fit guarantee on your final order.

Home Try-On vs. Free Swatches — Which Should You Order?

Home Try-On and free fabric swatches solve two different problems, and many customers use both:

Home Try-On FAQs

How much does Revelry's Home Try-On program cost?
$10 per sample, with free shipping on orders of up to 3 samples.

How long do I have to try on my samples?
3 full business days. The day your box arrives, plus weekends and holidays, don't count toward that window.

How fast does my Home Try-On box ship?
Within 2–3 business days of placing your order, using the delivery speed you selected at checkout.

How do I return my Home Try-On samples?
Use the prepaid return shipping label included inside your box, tucked in the "Revelry Curated Closet" brochure. If it's missing, contact Revelry for a replacement label.

Can I choose the color of my Home Try-On sample?
No. Home Try-On samples are pulled from rotating shared inventory, so Revelry can't guarantee a specific color for a try-on box. Use free fabric swatches to confirm exact color.

What length are Home Try-On samples?
Revelry's standard 46" length.

Is Home Try-On available for suits as well as dresses?
Yes. Dresses and suits run as two separate Home Try-On collections, each with the same $10-per-sample structure.

What happens if the style or size I want is out of stock?
Home Try-On inventory rotates constantly as boxes are returned and reprocessed. Sign up for a restock notification rather than assuming the style is unavailable long-term.

Is the $10 Home Try-On fee refundable or credited toward my order?
No. It covers the cost of maintaining and shipping the sample program and is not a deposit or credit.

What if I damage a Home Try-On sample?
Samples are expected to come back in their original condition, since they're reshipped to other customers. A damage fee can apply if a sample is returned worn, altered, or damaged.

Does Home Try-On guarantee my made-to-order dress or suit will fit the same?
If you order the same style and fabric you tried on, yes — Revelry's Fit Commitment covers that. Report any fit concern within 5 business days of your made-to-order garment's delivery, with tags attached and the item unworn and unaltered.

What's the difference between Home Try-On and ordering swatches?
Home Try-On is for checking fit and fabric feel with an actual sample garment. Swatches are for confirming exact color. Many customers order both.
