FAQ

Absolutely! We love showing people where our dresses are made. We have our entire range here for Brides to try and each dress is made to your measurements with our in house alterations team finishing the perfect fit. You can come hang out at our calming space which is dedicated to just you and your team for your entire appointment and have your dress made from scratch.

Our dresses are all made completely to order at our studio in Cardiff. This means we take a little longer than most places as our small team dedicate the time to ensuring your outfit is perfect for you. Our current standard lead time is 9 months with the option of a rush order. Our rush orders are available for turnaround of 6-8 months. We always suggest to allow 6-8 weeks for any necessary alterations on top of these lead times.

Our studio is appointment only so please don’t call in with out one! We’re always squirrelling away on dresses or might be in the middle of a current appointment. We take appointments Thursday - Saturday. You can make an appointment by clicking the button below. You can also make an appointment with any of our stockists by contacting them directly.

We have an online system that you can book in here. If you can let us know on your booking what you’re interested in, your budget and dress size it will give us a great idea to get you set up before coming in!

We recommend a good bra, nude underwear and heels if you intend to wear them! Most of our dresses have no structure so a good bra is key. Most of our dresses can be made around your underwear to ensure that everything is covered so you don’t have to go that low on our backs if you need some support up front!

We recommend bringing no more than 3 people to the appointment with you (4 in total) We can accommodate up to 6 but just need a little heads up before hand! Bare in mind, too many opinions can be overwhelming! A few close friends or family whose opinions align with yours are a good team to bring along

Ideally, shopping for your outfit no less than a year before the wedding will make your whole process a lot less stressful for you! From March 31st 2024, our lead times will be extending to 12 months and you should always allow 6-8 weeks for your alterations after collecting your outfit.

Of course! However, all of our dresses are made specifically to each order so once they are in production, we can not refund any money and they can not be returned. We suggest giving your gown a try on somewhere first if at all possible or at least a similar style to give you the best idea possible before ordering. We also offer virtual appointments!
