Bridesmaid dresses

Determined89

I am not sure if you have thought of this... When I got married, and was browsing for a wedding dress, the in-store dressmaker also worked independently designing clothes for those who couldn't find clothes to fit them on the high street. She asked me what I wanted for my bridesmaid dresses, and I showed her a picture of a dress I found online and she agreed to make them for me. I think, if my memory serves me right, it cost £110 for each dress (I had two bridesmaids too) and that included, 3 fittings (after initial measuring), cost of material and making the actual dresses. She also did the cravats, pocket handkerchiefs, gave my florist material for tying the 3 bouquets together as well as other flowers in the venue, gave my Nan some for the cake design and made small belts for the flower girls. All for £220. It may be worth looking more locally, as I'm sure they will appreciate the custom AND you will get exactly what you want.

Just to mention, my dressmaker managed to do all that in 4 months

What about ordering from https://www.sexyher.co.uk? They're based in Croydon, have plenty of choice and get great reviews.

I see you've mentioned Light in the Box but this is also a Chinese retailer so best avoided if you're wary of ordering from China.

Is it worth going to a bridal store, trying some dresses on so you can find what styles work, especially for your larger bridesmaid, and then seeing what you can find online/on the high street? The bridal store don't need to know that you aren't going to buy from them, and designers like Dessy have soooo many styles you're bound to find something.
