Wedding dress sizing is very different to high street sizing, and no one cares what number is on the label.

To make things simpler, we’ve converted all of our bridal sizes into UK high street sizes. If you’d like to get a rough idea of where you might sit, take a look at our size chart.

What matters most, though, is how the dress fits, how it feels, and whether it can be altered beautifully for you.

In general, an Off the Peg wedding dress can usually be altered down by around 1–2 sizes, depending on the style and structure.

Letting a dress out is much more limited, sometimes not possible at all, and is something we would generally advise against.

Even if a dress fits well, most brides will still need alterations, to acheive the perfect ’it was made for me’ look.

This might be taking up the hem, adjusting straps, refining the bodice, or adding a bustle.

Alterations are an extra cost, so it is always worth allowing for that in your budget.

We recommend budgeting £300-£400

All of our Off the Peg wedding dresses are boutique samples, so they have been tried on in the shop. We check each one individually and grade its condition so you know what to expect.

Excellent – As new and in almost perfect condition
Very Good – May show a few light marks or minor signs of wear
Good – May show more noticeable signs of wear and could benefit from minor repairs, cleaning or extra attention during alterations

Any more noticeable marks, damage or missing details will be shown in the photos and/or noted in the description.

All of our Off the Peg wedding dresses are boutique samples and are bought in their current condition. Before leaving with your dress, you will need to inspect it carefully and make sure you are happy with the fit, condition, and any visible signs of wear.

As these dresses are one-off samples, we cannot accept returns or refunds for change of mind after purchase. This does not affect your statutory rights.

There is only one of each Off the Peg dress.

If it sells, it is gone for good, so if you have found the one, it is worth knowing that it cannot be reordered in the same way as a Made to Order dress.

If you buy your dress in store, we do not accept returns, exchanges or refunds for change of mind.

If you buy your dress online, you may have the right to cancel and return your order in line with UK distance selling regulations.

This does not affect your statutory rights.
