Bridesmaid dresses

Annabel, 21 March, 2021 at 09:14 Posted on Planning 3 58
I am struggling to find 5 bridesmaid dresses on a tight budget. I have seen some online but worried if the sizes are wrong and I can’t return for a full refund. I would be grateful for any ideas please, I looking at teal dresses. Many thanks Smiley smile

    Have you looked at jjshouse.co.uk? I’m getting my flower girl dresses from here. I’ve not ordered anything yet, but heard good things and the reviews are good. People also upload photos to their reviews, so you can see what was received vs the website picture. You can order standard sizes, which can be returned, or give exact measurements for a bit extra

    I got my bridesmaids dresses from shein.co.uk including delivery they were £35 each rather than £100+ I’d seen elsewhere, and the quality was amazing so I would definitely say check them out.
    These are what I had as they complimented my dress perfectly

    Hey I was looking for similar and found some cheaper options on Debenhams website - some were £15-£30 a dress. Hope you find something you like!

    I could be wrong but i think they do custom sizes... worth paying a little extra for the guarantee x

    I’ve got mine from Dorothy perkins. It’s easy to return too. Or for the price I paid I’d happily give them away! ?

    HI Annabel,

    I initially got some BM dresses from JJs House, then we went and changed the colour scheme! Quality is good, shipping was quite a time, though!

    I'm getting married (hopefully!) September 2022 after postponing twice. As a result of Covid, I'm changing career, and opening a pre-loved bridal boutique next month in Liverpool, if that's of any use to you?

    Cheers

    Ali xx

    Asos bridesmaid dresses are really well made and well priced! Also, i've found the sizing to be spot-on but if there IS any issue, returns and refunds are very easy. xxx

    Based only on my infinity dress wearing experience, since the spandex/jersey tends to cling on your body, if the fabric is too thin a lot of unflattering parts will show up. A simple solution is to have a tulle overlay over the infinity dress or make sure that it’s made from good quality jersey/spandex. Hope this helps.

    Definitely try hitting the sales for shops like Debenhams, House of Fraser, Dororthy Perkins, John Lewis etc. My mum had 7 bridesmaids and got our dresses from Quiz for £30 each in the sale. JJs house is good but the dresses are not all exactly cheap (still £50+). When the shops reopen maybe take 1 or 2 bridesmaids to have a look round the high street with you? If you're not worried about them being brand new also try ebay and facebook market place, can get some lovely second-hand dresses.

    I found Debenhams was quite good, we got a size above so it could be taking in, although we did that as my bridesmaids had big hips. We got normal sizes for our flower girls and found they fit perfectly.

    Thank you! I’ve ordered from Jjs , looked online at shops but couldn’t get the colours we wanted. Quiz dresses are great for the money but again didn’t have the colour x

    Fair enough, I am having the same issue, only JJs and Wed2b have the colour I want at a reasonable price! I was thinking about putting something out on a facebook group nearer the time, but I have 2 years to go, so still plenty of time for me! Good luck with the wedding, I'm sure it will be perfect for you Smiley smile x
