When should I start looking for my dress?

When should you start? Well, that does really depend on a few things...
-
Is your venue booked? - Your venue choice could really make a difference to what dress you finally choose. We recommend coming after you have your date booked with your venue.
-
Are you ready to buy? - If you're hoping to save up for example and you're not quite ready to buy then visit us once you are. If you try on now and fall in love with a gown then you may not be able to get it further down the line.
-
Hoping to lose weight? Does depend on your weight goal. If it's a few pounds or half a stone it's not going to majorly change your body shape. We advise you to perhaps reach your goal before trying on if it's anything more than that.
-
Having surgery? Advisable to wait until after especially if it's breast implants as they will change your body shape.
Time Scales:
-
For a Made to Order gown: In an ideal world we need 8-9 months from order date to wear date. This includes the ordering, making, shipping & alterations of the gown. Of course, we have the option for a rush order at an additional cost.
-
Sample Sale Gowns or "Off the peg": The gown is ready here so no worries about ordering times however we still need 2-3 months for your alterations.
12-18 months before your wedding is a perfect time (takes a lot of stress out of the planning) to start looking no later than 9 months
for made to order.
