FAQs

How long does it take for a dress to arrive?

Our gowns take between 6-9 months to arrive in-store; if a designer carries a style in stock in your size, this dress can be shipped to us sooner. But our advice is always to purchase your wedding gown around 8-9 months before your wedding date.

What sizes do you carry?

We have almost 400 wedding gowns in-store, ranging from size 8 to size 30.

What if I plan to lose weight?

Completely fine!!! Most brides are, so do not stress. Depending on designer delivery dates and how close your wedding is, you can always defer from measuring. This means you have those few extra months to be nearer to the size you will be a couple of weeks before your wedding. However, once you are measured, and the dress is ordered in the size nearest to you, this does not mean you have to stop losing weight! Your fittings with the seamstress will not be until 6 weeks before your wedding, and a dress can be taken in up to 3 dress sizes without causing a problem, and trust us, our seamstress is AMAZING!!! So, do not stress. You are in safe hands, and rest assured your wedding dress will fit you perfectly on your wedding day.

When is the best time to start looking for my bridal gown?

It is never too early to start looking for your bridal gown. Usually, the first things you organize for your wedding are your venue and wedding gown! The rest should fall into place after these two are ticked off your list (ish). Depending on designer delivery dates, a wedding gown will take 6 – 9 months to come into the store. But you also must include time for deferring measurements and alterations after your dress arrives in the store. So, to avoid any extra added stress to your wedding planning, if you allow from 8 – 12 months before your wedding, you will be fine.

We also recommend that when you start looking for your wedding gown, always be prepared to buy it within 3 – 4 weeks. This is pure to avoid disappointment; designers will give bridal boutiques 3 – 4 weeks’ notice if a dress is to be discontinued, so if you find a gown that you love and return to the store in 4 months, the dress may not still be there. So,

How long does it take for a dress to be ordered?

Delivery dates vary between designers, but it will usually take 6 – 9 months for your dress to arrive in the store.

Who do I bring with me?

You are welcome to bring whoever you like with you, but we recommend a maximum of 3 – 4 people but usually, 2 – 3, is your nearest and dearest. We also recommend that the people you bring with you are people whose opinions you value deeply, as otherwise, it can become extremely confusing and distressing for you and can, in turn, affect the decision you make.

What happens after ordering?

Once your dress has been ordered and you have been measured, you leave the rest to us. Your dress will arrive in store within 6 – 9 months (sometimes earlier, sometimes later), and we will call you within half an hour of your dress arriving in store. After this call, you must book an appointment to come into the store within two weeks to try the gown and check it all over; after this, you must book your fittings. Your first fitting will be six weeks before your wedding, and our seamstress usually works on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday but will fit you in wherever suits you; we are very flexible! You will then have your first fitting, and the seamstress will advise you when your second fitting will be, usually two weeks before your wedding.

What do I bring to my fittings?

For your fitting with the seamstress, which is usually six weeks before the wedding, you will need the shoes you will be wearing and a bra (if you need one). The seamstress will usually either sew bra cups into your wedding gown, or if you prefer, you can bring one of your bras that you feel comfortable in, and she will cut this up and sew this into your wedding gown instead.

Do you have parking?

Yes, we have parking at the front of the shop.
