Needle & Thread - try before you buy

Has anyone used this service, looking specifically at their wedding dresses and it seems a great option considering they're online based.

Did it work well? Looks like I can order multiple dresses in multiple sizes and I have 5 days to return the ones that don't fit. Was the return process easy?

My wedding dress was Needle and Thread - had two sizes posted to me, and sent the other back no issues - they included a postage sticker/details of the return procedure all in the beautiful boxes. I was absolutely thrilled with my dress and still adore it now looking back! Not a single seed bead/sequin came off during the day anf i was very impressed with the quality, especially as the price wasn't eye watering! Although this was 10 years ago 😮

Thank you! Some of the dresses look lovely (and for very reasonable prices in comparison to bridal boutiques) but there are definitely a few styles that I could be in-between sizes so it's great to know the returns process was easy!

Aww, your post brought back fond memories! For what it's worth, I found them very true to size at the time. Such pretty designs! Congratulations on your engagement - hope you find your perfect dress!

My Maid of Honour dress for my sisters wedding was N&T. Found their sizing system and sending back the one I didn’t need great and received so many compliments. I also managed to sell it at more or less what I bought it for, if that’s a consideration.

Thank you, this is also a great point. I don't have bridesmaids but my two daughters will be flower girls and they've some lovely little dresses on there too.

Thank you! They feel too good to be true if I'm honest.. the prices compared to bridal shops are amazing!
