Tips for Trying Dresses on In Store
It all begins with an idea.
Becky The Wedding Dress Fairy Godmother here 😊
Often brides ask me, “How do I know a certain style of dress will work for me?”
Or often brides are after a certain colour .. but can’t find it in store, is that you?
Even if the only available colours for you to try on are in white and you are after colour.
We still recommend for brides to try dresses on in store.
Why?
Because we want brides to love their dress and be sure before they commit to sometimes a year, long journey with me of bringing to life their dream dress!
Also trying on dresses allows brides to get a visual understanding of how certain styles look on their body and what features they like from certain dresses to Incporated into their dress design with me. Say if you like the bodice of one dress with the skirt and back of another we can merge your design into one.
Alternatively if trying on dresses is still not for you, book a personalised design consult with me and I will design a dress that suits, your vision, body type and preferred colours and wedding theme. To see more about our 6 step design process, watch the video below:

Here At A Bride To Be. Dare To Be Different I’m passionate about designing for women of all shapes and sizes and I can create anything from a photo. So, if your going to a bridal store to try dresses on here at my top tips
1. Ask the store how far in advance you will need to order your dress…?
Generally this can be anywhere from 6-12 months
2. If the store will not allow you to take photos of your dream dress. Ask them to write down the style number, designer and price on a card for you. This allows me to look at the style on the internet.
3. If you fall in love with a dress or dresses outside of your budget…breathe it’s okay! Simply ask the store to write the style number, designer or name and price on a card for you…..I’m cheaper than the stores ……as I don’t have the overheads and you are buying direct as I produce my own fabric etc
4. If you fall in love with, say the bodice of one dress, but the skirt and back of another and can’t afford two dresses…. Yes, I have actually had Brides pressured by Bridal stores to buy two different dresses and then get alterations done to the merge them!!!!!! Let’s face it most Brides can’t afford that…Breathe….!
I can merge different styles to create your dream dress…All I need is the style number and designer or name of dress…so remember to get those details
5. Let’s talk fabric…most store dresses are created in China and are mass produced from synthetic fibres… It results in the dresses being itchy, heavy and you feel like you are carrying around a dead weight not with me they ……Some of my brides have even tried on 7kg dresses in store..!
My couture fabrics are light and comfortable and made from natural fibres silks etc For example most brides have an aversion to tulle after going to the shops and are shocked at how light and soft my tulles and fabrics are, it’s why most of my dresses are between 1.0-1.5kg.

6. Most stores will charge extra for every size over a size 12….SO make sure you ask them to write down the cost of the extra sizing on top of the dress price on a card for you. I don’t charge extra as I produce my own fabric and I’m passionate about designing for real women…read the story of A Bride To Be Here https://www.abridetobeweddingdresses.com/about
I hope the above has helped you, remember all my dresses come with matching veil, your fabric which you the Bride selects and inbuilt bust support…
