Help in finding a black dress!

You would probably have more success in going to an evening-wear shop rather than a brida boutique.

Hi Alice,

I too am wearing a black dress and had a very hard time finding bridal options in this colour, but it is doable. You have a couple of options but you would have to travel as they're not local to Manchester. it also depends if you want an actual black wedding dress or if you'd rather go down the line of a 'prom dress' sort of vibe.

if you want an actual wedding dress then there is a bridal boutique called 'Hannah Black Bridal' located in Bedfordshire where you can make an appointment to try on a dress with them. they also have a website for you to peruse.

There is also 'Fairygothmother' in London who carry black and alternative wedding dresses you can try on by appointment.

Do not go with 'Stacee's of London' they make out they're a UK based company, but they actually operate from abroad and are awful to deal with (just read the reviews on trust pilot)

it's also good to ring around local bridal shops and see if they have any black dresses in stock or could advise on where to go to try one on. I was lucky in the end as my local shop didn't have any in stock but they did have a black dress stockist on their books where I could ask them to order a couple of options in and then try them on. I ended up going direct to the designer for mine but this was a massive help.

I went to Milan Bridal in leeds and tried on a black one shoulder dress and it was a fit and flare i think. It was amazing. Tried to find a photo of the dress on the website for you but i could not find it.

Have you tried checking out The Case of the Curious Bride in Manchester? They sometimes have non-traditional options, and they might be able to source something for you. Also, some boutiques offer custom dyeing services if you find the perfect dress in another color. Hope you find the one!

Absolutely! Finding the perfect black dress can be both exciting and overwhelming given the vast options available delta x
