Watters Spring 2026 Samples Available In-Store at Bridal & Formal Feb 20–22

Bridal & Formal announced on February 20, 2026 that it will host a limited-time Watters designer event, bringing Spring 2026 sample pieces from Watters, Willowby and Locket into the retail shop for in-store try-ons February 20–22, 2026. The post frames the three S/S 2026 lines as the focus of the weekend event and specifies the try-on window, though the announcement excerpt does not list exact styles or sizes that will be present.

Watters’ Spring 2026 lineup, as presented on the brand’s official site, names the S/S 2026 collections as Watters - Something Borrowed, Willowby - Curio, and Locket - Deep in the Heart, with Locket explicitly labeled as "formerly Wtoo." The brand’s retail pricing context is also on the site: bridal gowns range from $2,200 to $5,400. Site navigation and editorial copy further highlight silhouettes available across collections, including A-Line, Ball Gown, Fit & Flare and Sheath, and accessory categories such as veils, toppers and overskirts.

The Watters site emphasizes in-person shopping as part of the experience, with the line "Pictures are pretty. In person is even more perfect" and editorial sections titled "The Craft of Corsetry" and "CORSETS TO COVET." That corsetry copy reads, "A modern take on a timeless technique, corsets provide sculptured bodices and delicate boning for a perfectly cinched shape. (No wonder women have adored them for centuries.)" Another site line frames the brand’s princess gowns: "Give your fairytale a happy beginning. In a princess gown that blends timeless grandeur with modern artistry. (Glass slipper optional.)" The site also repeatedly invites shoppers to engage with in-store services via CTAs: "Find a Store", "Find a Trunk Show", "Request an Appointment" and "Order In-Store."

Separately, an Instagram excerpt invites followers to a Willowby by Watters Spring 2026 Launch Party running February 23 through March 1, 2026; the post begins, "You're invited to our Willowby by @watters Spring 2026 Launch Party! Join us from February 23rd to March 1st to celebrate the launch of the" and is truncated in the supplied excerpt. The Instagram dates are adjacent to but do not overlap with Bridal & Formal’s Feb 20–22 try-on dates, and the excerpt does not identify the hosting account or location, so the relationship between the two events is not established in the available material.

Several practical details remain unconfirmed in the public excerpts: Bridal & Formal’s announcement did not include a physical store location or daily hours for Feb 20–22; neither post lists whether appointments, RSVPs or fees are required; and the specific Spring 2026 sample styles, sizes and colorways slated for the in-store weekend were not named. Watters’ site tools - including "Find a Store" and "Request an Appointment" - offer pathways to confirm availability and scheduling, and readers should contact the retailer directly to verify hours, sample inventory and booking procedures for the Feb 20–22 event.
