Research says that the average dress size for UK women is now a 16. Research also shows that in 1958 a size 16 would have a 28 inch waist and a 37 inch bust, today those figures are 33 inches and 41. But we all know the numbers mean nothing, they vary from shop to shop and we never know WHAT we are. Wedding Dresses are the same, which is why we never speak in ‘size’, we speak in ‘fit’.
Over the last 12 months, we made a conscious decision to review our collection by size, and when the time came to choose new dresses we ordered 16’s, 18’s, 20’s, 22’s to ensure our sample dresses are a good fit, for all our brides.
We cannot believe that we have been at 169 for ONE WHOLE year today. The time has flown by so fast.
Firstly, we’d like to say thank you for your support this year, we have been so lucky to meet many lovely brides and bride tribes., helping you with not only stunning dresses from Justin Alexander,Lillian West,Modeca and Casablanca, but also wedding flowers, venue styling and bridesmaids dresses from TH&TH

We are kicking off 2024 with a steady stream of new dress gorgeousness from Justin Alexander. Back in June we selected new styles to add to our collection. We’d like to show you three which have arrived this month.
We are always drawn to the clean lines of a satin bodice, team that with a stunning tulle skirt decorated with oversized floral appliqués and you have the ultimate dress. The bodice has perfectly placed appliqués and a delicate trim on the neckline. Attention to detail overload. She’s a winner.
After the amazing response sister dress ‘Fiona’ received, when we saw the same awesome neckline with a full skirt it was and easy decision, we HAD to have her. The full skirt has pockets, a cheeky leg split ( which is optional ) deep pleats for that modern feel and did we mention that neckline ? swoonworthy right ?
The Wedding Room is a creative, interactive space for brides looking to spend time with their family & friends considering their options for their big day.
