What is a sample?

A sample is a wedding dress, mini dress, suit or accessory that has been tried on by brides to be in the studio but not worn on anyone's wedding day so there may be flaws or defects like missing buttons, loose beading or thread, dust marks around the hem, make up marks, minor pulls or snags. Samples are usually sold to make way for new bridal wear or when old collections have been discontinued.

​

Can I try a sample on in the studio?

To keep all samples in the best possible condition, there will be a handful of Sample Sale Appointments which can be booked on the 'Book Now' page. Otherwise all sales in the Summer Sample Sale are online only

​

How much can I expect to save on a sample?

You can save up to 75% off the RRP of bridal wear so you can expect to spend as little as £399 on a a sample. Remember that samples can usually be taken out at least 2 sizes either way (not all) so please ask any questions beforehand. You will also need to put money aside for alterations. 

​

How do I pay for my sample?

Payments can be made online through the website or I can send you an invoice with bank details to make a bank transfer. Remember, you can use Clear Pay or Klarna to pay for your dress to spread the cost.

If you are paying in the studio we accept all major debit and credit cards.

​

Can I return my sample?

Unfortunately samples are non refundable so please ensure you ask all questions before purchasing, and I am more than happy to send photos and videos as all sales are final.

​

What if I'm interested in a dress that is not a sample?

If you are interested in our new collection bridal wear, you will need to book a 2 hour appointment at the studio and all dresses in the studio are made to order with lead times of 3 - 6 months.
