At True Society, we believe in giving back to the communities where our brides live, work and dream – and for brides-to-be, that dream includes a dream wedding dress.
That’s why our True Crew is ready to help make those dreams a reality at our upcoming Gowns for Good event where we’ll be giving away more than 150 wedding dresses to local community heroes.
For more than 10 years, True Society has given back by giving away hundreds of free wedding gowns to Kansas City military personnel and their fiancés to recognize and thank them for their sacrifice and bravery. This year, we’re expanding the event to also honor hospital workers and their fiancés, to show our appreciation for keeping our communities safe during the pandemic.

Yes, we can accept a photo of the I.D. if necessary.
Our sample dresses will be available in a variety of sizes.
Appointments
Appointments during our Gowns for Good event are 30 minutes long. This will be enough time for your personal stylist to help you select a few gowns in your size and style, try them on, and say “I Do” to a beautiful dress that you can take home with you that day!
Our appointments are set for 30 minutes to ensure that we are able to help as many brides as possible find their dream gown.

CAN I HAVE A LONGER APPOINTMENT? OR CAN I STAY LONGER IF I NEED MORE TIME?

Yes! From the moment you walk through our doors to the moment you load your beautiful gown into your car, a member of our True Crew will be assisting you every step of the way.
We do not have an in-house seamstress; however, all of our True Brides will leave with a list of our top-recommended seamstresses to help make your dream gown even more perfect!
A maximum of two guests can be brought to the appointment.
Products/Assortment
During our Gowns for Good event, we receive special gowns from our designers that they allow us to gift to our military and hospital brides entirely free of charge. Because these gowns are brought in especially for this event, they will be different from the selection of gowns we have available the rest of the year. Because of this, there will be no shopping appointments available prior to the days of the event.
We will have a select assortment of discounted accessories and bridesmaid gowns available for purchase during this event so you can complete your bridal look! You are welcome to browse accessories during your 30-minute appointment. If you would prefer to come back for a personalized accessory shopping experience, we encourage you to book an Accessory Appointment with us for a later date. One of our expert stylists would be happy to help you find the perfect sparkly goodies from our accessory collections to help complete your bridal look!
