anyone ordered from light in the box?

No but i am planning on ordering my bridesmaid dresses from there in january no help to you but will be watching this thread

I'm thinking of it.

There dresses i like on both landy and light in the box so it'll be one of them i expect.

I have definitely considered it, as they are the only place who seem to have the style I want... if you click on some of the dresses and scroll down, a few of them have customer comments and even pictures- seem to be very satisfied overall....

Not yet, but I will be ordering at least my youngest bridesmaid dress from there for definite.

I also like some bridesmaid dresses on there but i'm confused about buying from america, not sure about postage, tax and courier costs? i'm assuming the price you pay isn't it and you have to pay more once the dress arrives?

I ordered my bridesmaid dresses from Light in the box and they were stunning, the girls were really happy with them and said they were really comfy, heres a pic of them

*deleted pic*

They are lovely Laineywhu! ❤️ Really pretty and more or less like the style I would liek for my BM's.

I must admit I was put off recently by people saying that the reviews were 'made up', but after seeing your dresses I may now consider them again. How long did they take to come from ordering them, and were they wuite easy to order, i.e. measurements etc x

I left a review on there so there are some REAL people who leave feedback haha!

They took around 12 days to arrive I think, I know I was really impressed with how quickly they arrived, especially seen as I got mine made to measure. I would deffo suggest getting them made to measure, they fitted all 4 girls perfectly! Extremely easy to order, had emails to keep me updated on where they were, and a tracking code so I could look it up online, I couldn't be more pleased, esp with the price!

Sorry mrs_t2b forgot to say Thanks :-) x

I thought about this too, i didn't know whether to believe all of the reviews on the website as they could have wrote them but after seeing the reviews on here think their a pretty safe bet.

I don't have personal experience of them but my back up dress plan is one from there (a copy of a Vera Wang gown actually!). I googled some impartial reviews and read some really good stuff. Of course some people have had bad experiences with them, but you could say the same about any dress retailer!

You're welcome ?

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely consider them x

Hi laineywhu - how much postage did you have to pay for the dresses?

Has anyone had recent experience of ordering from here?

My sister ordered her bridesmaid dresses from here (she got married in sept '12). The sizing seemed a bit smaller than what we would expect - i.e. a lady who was a 12 normally found it was too small so had to exchange it for a 14. They were good value, easy to exchange and nice design - I'd just order the size up and get them altered. My sister had to get all hers altered however she did say they had lots of material in the seam which made it easy to alter them - was definitely cheaper than anywhere else even with alterations cost included.

Hi thanks for your reply, do you know if your sister paid custom charges if so how much x

Ahem, my wedding dress is from there. its a very good dress well made.

Oh and to add i paid for tax and duties. dress was £230, VAT & duties £77

Havnt used them but been watching the website for a fair while now, they have the bridesmaid dresses I want but im going to look around and see if I can get them cheaper as there just a little over budget

That i agree on, for the prices on their sites (plus VAT+SHIPPING) you might as get them a department stores or a UK retailer.

thanks for that, in two minds whether to do that or use your bridalwear who include the import duty in the price, have sent a pic to them so we will see xx

This thread proper threw me! BumbleBrat! LaineyWu! A trip back in time.

There has been less neg press about them in recent times which leads me to hope they have improved a bit since 3 years back. When I first joined H it was a real contentious subject as some had great experiences and some really bad ones.

I know someone who has ordered her dresses from them... She had to pay a customs charge, sorry can't remember how much, but she got a discount so it sort of cancelled it out. She did say it's better to use your measurements rather than order a dress size as they can be a bit funny sizing. She is really impresses with them and the dresses really complement her dress!

Hey, i just ordered my bridesmaid dress from there - made to measure. They were made v quick and fitted perfectly. I cant promise that all orders will be like that, i only ordered the one dress. hope that helps

Im thinking about it too but stumped on the colour . my colour is coral but the nearest to that sems to be watermelon but that looks different in every material !

One of my besties got married in August and ordered the BM dresses form Light In The Box. The quality was good, but the dresses weren't quite as they looked in the photos, and we actually ended up returning them and getting something new. I also definitely agree that they come up a little small. However, looks like most other people have had a good experience, so perhaps we were unlucky!

Thanks for all your replies, i have actually emailed a pic of a dress i found on there to your bridalwear and they are going to make it for 185.00 including import duty and postage. im just going to see if i can find the dress in a shop to try on or something like it first xx

Hi there i recently brought some favour boxes from the website. They delivered them well before the estimated date and were carefully packed. They were exactly how they were discribed, very pleased with them. Hope this helps x
