We've spoken to lots of our customers to get their initial feedback, and have put together the most popular questions and answers for you below.

How do they fit?
Our team has years of experience designing dresses that fit beautifully. We recommend ordering your usual size, but to be extra sure, check our detailed size guides before purchasing; these are tailored to each bridesmaid dress style.

💡 Fit Tip: If you're between sizes, size up and tailor down for a perfect fit. Our luxurious satin fabric is easy to alter, so your dress will hug you in all the right places!

How does the material feel?
Our satin dresses are made from a heavy satin that drapes beautifully on all body shapes. It’s buttery soft, non-clingy, and ultra-flattering—ideal for feeling confident all day long. Our beautiful Chiffon is double layered and gives that ethereal, romantic look to your day. Our Crepe dresses are super breathable and lightweight and skims over your figure beautifully. 

💡 Underwear Tip: Whether you prefer seamless thongs or shapewear, our dresses give a smooth, flawless finish with no visible lines.

Can you wear a bra with them?
Absolutely! We have an extensive range of Bra-friendly bridesmaid dresses designed for all your girls in mind, offering extra support for all bust sizes. Some bestsellers for this exact reason are our Cowl Front, Flutter Sleeve, and One Shoulder styles. 

How long are the dresses? Will they work for my tall Bridesmaid?
The short answer is yes! All our dresses are cut on the bias creating a super flattering drape to the floor. They measure 160cm and have been tried and tested on our models ranging from a petite 5ft 2 to a tall 5ft 11. They can also be very easily tailored by your local seamstress to fit you perfectly. 

I’m stuck on which colour to go for.
Struggling to pick the perfect shade? Start by ordering a colour swatch to see the fabric in person and to start your wedding mood boarding! 

💡 Pro Tip:

  • Consider your wedding theme, venue, and flowers when choosing a colour.

  • Create a mood board by pinning swatches alongside inspiration images to visualise your dream bridal party look.

I’ve chosen my colour but can’t decide on which shape. 
Luckily, we have a huge range of Bridesmaid Dresses to choose from that have been so carefully designed with all (& real!) women in mind, designed by women! Whether you need a dress suitable for growing bumps, a dress with a little extra support, or even a dress suitable for breastfeeding mums, we've thought of it! Chances are, your bridesmaids will probably know which shape is most suited to them. 

💡 Pro Tip: A mix-and-match look with different shapes in the same colour looks amazing in photos. Send options to your bridal party and let them choose their favourites! We have so many real weddings featured on our Instagram @sixstories - which is a great place to get some inspo. 

How soon shall I order them?
If you’ve chosen your colour and style, don’t wait! Our dresses sell fast, so we recommend ordering as soon as sizes restock. This gives your bridesmaids time to try them on, tailor if needed, and feel amazing on the big day.
