AW Bridal

I needed a light dress for my son's wedding in the summer as the venue was outdoors. I've shopped with them for a long time and they've always been reliable. This one arrived quickly and the fit was just right.

Bought the ivory satin robe for the morning of the wedding. It arrived in good time, the fabric is soft and it sat well on the shoulders. Ties at the back were a bit long but easy to shorten.

I bought the ivory bolero for my niece's wedding and had shopped with them before for a dress. It arrived a day later than the tracking said but the bolero itself is lovely and fits well. The returns form took a bit of finding on the site, so I'd suggest keeping the email to hand if you need to send something back.

The first thing I noticed was how much the satin in the midi dress was for the money, it felt much nicer than the cheaper high street options I'd looked at. Ordering was easy and the checkout didn't ask me to make an account. Delivery was a few days later than the estimate but the box was tidy and the dress arrived without creases. Only small thing was the hem had a loose thread I had to snip.

Compared with the high street, ordering online from them was a bit fiddly at first because the size guide didn't match the bridal dresses I'd tried on. Once I'd measured myself properly it was fine. The fabric on the lace jacket felt a touch thinner than I expected but it photographed well and I got a good price for something that looked finished. Delivery took about nine days and the tracking updates were a bit vague.

I did think a shop in town would be more helpful, but I did find the online range better value. The gown was delivered without fuss and it hangs very nicely. I'm pleased I didn't pay the extra for the local boutique.

I needed something smart for my daughter's wedding and had been buying from them for years for birthdays and such. The dress arrived well before I needed it, the colour was exactly as on the screen and the fit was spot on. The staff on the phone were patient with my questions about the hem. I'll keep coming back to them for any occasion.

The stitching on the navy dress I bought for my granddaughter's christening was neat, which I did not expect at this price. I found the ordering pages straightforward and the sizing chart was clear enough for me to choose without fuss. The parcel took a little longer than I had hoped, but it arrived in good order and I was very pleased with it.

Honestly it's a 3 for me. I looked at a couple of other sites first and this one was dearer for what you get. The dress was nice enough but the delivery took nearly three weeks when they'd said ten days, and I had to chase the tracking. It's fine if you have time to spare but I'd look elsewhere if you're in a rush.

Tried three other sites before this one and honestly it was the easiest to order from. The dress came quicker than I expected and the photos matched what I got. Customer support answered my question on the same day.
