Wedding Dress Sizes & Alterations

Some useful information you will need to know about choosing the size of your dress and making arrangements for alterations;

Firstly, it is important to understand that at The Wedding Dress Factory Outlet, we work very differently to boutiques. Basically, what we have in stock is what we have, unlike bridal boutiques who will order a specific size that is nearest to you with delivery usually in around 16 weeks. The advantage of the way we work is that you know that wedding dress you try on is the dress you will have, although the downside is that we don’t hold all wedding dresses in all sizes. That’s where a good seamstress comes in…

Even if the dress you find with us does not fit perfectly straight away, there is still hope. A good seamstress will have no problem with sizing a dress up or down to fit you. Depending upon the fabric type and the seam allowance in the dress, it is possible to increase a bridal dress by 1 or 2 sizes, so if you are a size 14 and find a size 10 or 12 dress that you love, it could still be possible to have the dress altered to fit.

We can recommend a great seamstress who we have worked with for many years. She is not employed by us and therefore you would need to make your own arrangements to book in with her at a time to suit you both. Alternatively, you can choose to appoint your own seamstress, which may be easier if you are travelling some distance to purchase your wedding dress from us.

Some other useful tips:

The underwear you choose to have on the day can affect the fit of the dress, so make sure you wear the correct underwear when you have your final fitting.

Don’t have the length of the dress altered until you have chosen your shoes.

A large proportion of our wedding dresses have trains, but if you prefer not to have a train, remember that most competent seamstresses would be able to remove it.

Don’t have your final fitting too early on as your weight could fluctuate with the stress of organising the wedding!! Please make sure you have a time booked in with a seamstress early on as the good ones will get booked up quickly, particularly in the spring and summer months.

Please see our website http://weddingdress-factoryoutlet.co.uk and we look forward to helping you find your perfect dress.
