    I live in Norwich and haven't heard of them. Just found their website and I see they're an online company.

    I can't find any mention of a 'Felicity Bridal' on Companies House so they must be registered as something else.

    There are lots of good reviews on their website though.

    Hmm, difficult one! I'm not sure what to advise. Hopefully someone else on here will have used/heard of them.
  • I recognise some of the pics and it looks to me like they're Milly Bridal dresses. I bought one from a different UK seller (MKM Bridal, based in Kent). From what I understand, they're made in China but will be quality-checked and all import taxes paid by the seller, so less hassle/risk for you.

    The dress I bought is lovely – and the quality is fantastic. However, the sizing was a little off, in that it's a bit short/tight in the upper body/bust. That might have been my dodgy self-measuring, however.

    In other words, they're well-made dresses but I'd budget for some alterations, as you may need them.

    You could also try LightintheBox. It's a Chinese company, so you would have to pay import tax. But they have some lovely dresses from around £60 + delivery.

    Customers can post photos of themselves in their dresses with their review, so you can get a good idea of the quality. My friend bought a formal dress from there before Christmas (for a posh work do) and it was stunning.

    Alternatively, for a real bargain, keep your eyes peeled on the Littlewoods Returns page on eBay. They have wedding dresses on there from £20+.
