Delivery time may very between designers, but you can expect your gown to arrive between 4 and 6 months from the date you order… unless you specify a different timing when the order is placed.  Please remember to allow time for alterations.

Question 9

Is there a ‘rush order’ service?

Accepted Answer

If necessary, most of our designers offer a rush order for deliveries. This will be subject to approval by the designer and there is usually an additional cost.  We do however offer a large selection of ‘off the rack’ dresses perfect for the short notice wedding!

Question 10

Can I take photos of dresses in store?

Accepted Answer

We encourage you to limit gown photography to just your favourites, so that you’re not distracted or interrupted in your search to for the perfect gown.

Question 11

What is the next step once I choose my dress?

Accepted Answer

If your gown is being ordered for you from one of our designers:
We will take your bust, waist and hip measurements & discuss sizing against the designers size chart.  We then order the agreed size best suited to your measurements.  A deposit is payable to secure the order (usually 50% unless agreed otherwise).

If your gown is already in stock:
Some brides choose to pay in full and take their gown home on the day, but otherwise you’re welcome to pay a 50% deposit and pay the balance over an agreed term.

Question 12

Will my dress require alterations?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, gowns will require at least a little tweak to ensure the perfect fit on your wedding day… even if it's just an adjustment to hem length or a bustle to manage your train for the bridal waltz!

We have an excellent ‘preferred alterations service’ nearby, that has been favoured by Jean Fox brides for almost a decade.
