Our Designer Dresses

Our aim is to make you look and feel amazing when you are wearing our dresses; our designer range gives you the freedom to create a dress that you’re going to feel comfortable and confident wearing because we believe that you can’t be one without the other. Our innovative designer range allows you to take our expertly designed dresses and customise them with a choice of different sleeve options to suit your taste, style, shape, occasion and even the weather.

Our dresses epitomise grace and elegance and have all been skilfully designed to give the most flattering fit and appearance, we design dresses for real women of all shapes and sizes and have a sharp eye for details that are considered, perfectly placed and excellently executed. Our luxurious jersey fabrics are handled in such a way that they provide structure and shaping whilst also stretching softly to ensure the very best fit and comfort.

Our designer dresses sit seamlessly alongside our multiway collection and the two ranges can be mixed together for bridesmaids groups where some may want the revealing styles of the multiway dresses whilst others may prefer the more demure and understated style of our designer dresses. Celebrate your uniqueness and individuality with a customised designer dress that is as original as you are.

Colours

Whilst we have made every effort to display the colour range as accurately as possible due to differing screens resolutions the images may not truly reflect the colour of the fabric, you can request up to 3 colour samples free of charge by filling out our colour sample form.

The majority of colour options available in our lace range are combinations of a lace colour and solid fabric colour that complement each other but aren’t an exact match – the lace colour is listed first and the plain fabric colour second e.g Blush & Cappuccino. Where a lace colour option has a single name this shows that the lace colour and plain colour are matching colours e.g Ivory. The plain colours used in our lace range are the same ones featured across all of our products so you are able to match items from the plain range with the lace range.

The fabrics are dyed in batches and there can be very slight variances in colour of up to 3% from the colour sample you receive to the end product, rest assured that if you order more than one co-ordinating item they will all be made up from the same batch.

If you can’t find the colour you are looking for we can source others for you, although this may significantly affect the time taken to process the order and deliver to you whilst also incurring additional costs – however it may not, so don’t hesitate to contact us for more information about this service.

If we haven’t listed a lace and plain fabric colour combination that you were hoping for we can customise a combination for you please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Fabric & Care

Our plain dresses and bandeaus are made from soft knitted matte jersey fabric that has a lovely soft lustre – it is 95% polyester, 5% spandex. Our lace dresses and bandeaus are made from soft stretch lace (94% nylon, 6% spandex) and knitted matte jersey fabric that has a lovely soft lustre (95% polyester, 5% spandex).

We recommend you treat your dress or bandeau as a delicate item; cold hand wash ONLY and leaving to air-dry over a hanger. We do NOT recommend using a washing machine, tumble dryer or ironing.

Sizing

Our designer dresses are available in XS (6-8), S (10-12), M (14-16) and L (18-20). Please see our size guide for more detailed information regarding sizes. If you fall between the two sizes we recommend that you opt for the larger of the two as the dresses are more flattering the less the fabric is stretched.

If we don’t have the size listed that you want we can make a custom size for you, Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Our long dresses come in a standard length and a long length. Our standard length is suitable for someone approximately 5’8” without shoes, our long length is cut 6 inches longer than our standard length.

Our dresses can easily be shortened by someone who has experience in handling fabric; we don’t recommend attempting to shorten the dresses yourself unless you have some experience. We can shorten dresses for you for a small fee once you have tried them on and marked them at the correct length. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Delivery Timescale
All dresses are made to order especially for you and are processed as quickly as possible our usual waiting time on orders is 8-12 weeks but we can look at expressing orders on special request. Unfortunately we don’t hold stock of all the fabric colours and as such it can take up to 4 months for delivery if the colour is out of stock, you can contact us prior to placing your order for an estimated delivery date. For single dress orders we try to dispatch within 2 weeks.

We can express orders however you must contact us prior to placing an express order to check availability of your chosen colour. The length of time it takes to process an express order will depend on fabric availability and the size of the order; we will give you a delivery estimate when you make an express inquiry with us. The minimum lead time for an express order is 2 weeks.

Returns

As all of our dresses and bandeaus are made to order especially for you we don’t currently offer returns on items that aren’t faulty. Because of our vast colour range and customised options there are over 2000 different adult dress styles and colour combinations available (and that doesn’t even take into account all the different sizes) so hopefully you can appreciate the difficulties we would face if we offered refunds due to a change of heart.

Of course if you find fault with any dress or bandeau simply contact us as soon as possible within 14 days and we will work with you to find the best resolution to the problem. In cases where multiple dresses are brought for bridesmaids we would assume it’s preferable to either repair or replace any faulty item as soon as possible to avoid any disruption to the plans for your big day. Where fault is found with a single dress purchased we can repair, replace or refund the item.

For faulty dresses or bandeaus we will refund the cost of return postage to us, please retain receipt of postage to be sent or emailed to us in order for us to process this.
