So I found myself needing a bridesmaid dress for a friend's wedding. I needed it to get here quickly and I needed to make sure I could still use it for other things if travel was still restricted. And Google helpful pointed me towards Milly Bridal UK. I was utterly thrilled to find a place based here in the UK as that meant time wouldn't be quite such a pressing issue.
The site was very easy to navigate on my phone and I was soon able to find dresses in the colour scheme and even able to check the size range. It's an impressive range by the way. There's a very easy to follow guide to help you narrow down exactly which size would work best for you but I decided to treat myself and go with a custom size. Even this was easily explained and so easy to use.
I gave my measurements, paid and then all I had to do was wait. The delivery was a complete surprise but that's because I forgot to check on the progress. As soon as it arrived I immediately tried it on. A little bit of instruction instruction the top half of the dress would have been helpful but I did soon figure out the wrapping on my own.
Another worry I had was that I wouldn't be able to feel the material until I had the dress in my hands. I'm autistic and that means sensory issues with materials and also temperatures. What if this material was too heavy for me or felt horrible and I wouldn't be able to wear it all day? Thankfully that wasn't an issue. It's incredibly light and soft I felt so pretty while wearing it. If I did have an issue, I have no doubts that the customer service chat would have been incredibly helpful.
They do also have test dresses so you can narrow down style, colour and size but I didn't quite have the time or budget for that. Another reason I went straight for the custom sizing option. Its an absolutely beautiful dress from a very easy to use website. Younger users on lower wages like myself might have to budget and plan ahead of time before committing but every penny is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be considering Milly Bridal when I finally get around to my own wedding.
