Bridesmaid dresses

I bought all 5 of my BM dresses online from JJs House and we are really pleased but I personally think it’s too late to order from abroad with only 6 weeks to go! We have 2 weeks to go and our dresses were ordered in April and they took a couple of weeks to arrive. This gave us time to get any alterations done (one dress needed taking in) and also to order a spare dress which is did end up doing as 4 of my BMs are juniors so they grow!
I think you are better off looking at UK stores online such as ASOS, Boohoo,Ever Pretty and even New Look and Monsoon because your timelines are too tight if anything arrives and it isn’t right or there are delivery delays. Good luck

View quoted message Thank you for your message. I haven’t checked JJs house yet. How accurate is their sizing?
The dress I’ve found is a short, knee length dress so hoping they wouldn’t need any alterations.

View quoted message All our dresses are knee length even the adult one and we went for 3 custom size dresses as the girls measurements did not match the ones online. They are all ok bar one which is a bit big on the shoulders so we are having it altered locally. If you are going to try JJs then the most important thing to do is measure exactly as they instruct on the website and make sure you order as close to that as possible and if not then consider custom size but it’s more expensive and you can’t return.

I think with the time you habe left jjs house would be your best option x💗 good luck

My bridesmaids ordered off Cicinina, shipping was a mixed bag with some taking 2 weeks and others up to 4 weeks. All need slight alterations so I would hazard to say you’re cutting it very fine to order from abroad due to the unreliable shipping times.


Have you looked at Asos, or Ever Pretty?

Don't go with Stacees - terrible company, even their supposed 'bespoke dresses' don't fit properly, they're bad quality and you never get your money back. type them into trust pilot and you'll see how terrible their reputation is. I wish I'd looked on there before ordering myself.

Hi Jenna,

I am also thinking about buying from Cicinia. Aside from delivery times, did the dresses fit well? Did you order custom sizes or generic sizes? If generic sizes, are they true to size? How was the quality of the material and did the colours all match?

Sorry! lots of questions haha but thanks in advance

One bridesmaid ordered custom sizing and still needed some minor alterations to work with the underwear she was planning to wear. The other two ordered standard sizing, one was fine and fit true to size, just needed the hem taking up, but the other was huge. They have a try on at home option so when we did that first we knew we needed to go down at least 2 sizes in that particular style and would still need small alterations so she felt comfortable.
We got satin ones and the material was great, it was thick and didn’t crease easily. The colours match was great! The girls ordered them at different times and there wasn’t any difference we could see in the colour.
