Can I take my off the peg dress home the same day?

Yes — once payment has been completed, your dress is yours to take home immediately. Many brides arrive for their appointment and leave with their dress the same day. It is one of the most exciting parts of choosing from our ready to wear collection at Romsey Bridal Boutique in Hampshire.

Are your off the peg wedding dresses in good condition?

Absolutely. Every gown in our collection is carefully maintained, inspected and looked after before it leaves the boutique. We will always be completely transparent about the condition of every dress.

Can an off the peg wedding dress be altered?

Yes. Like virtually all wedding dresses, alterations can be carried out to achieve your perfect fit. We can recommend experienced local seamstresses and will always advise on what is achievable with each particular dress.

Do I still need to book an appointment for an off the peg dress?

Yes — every bride at Romsey Bridal receives the same private, one-to-one experience regardless of whether she is purchasing a made-to-order gown or an off the peg dress. Book your appointment online at romseybridal.co.uk/book or contact us with any questions.

How much do your off the peg wedding dresses cost?

Prices vary depending on the designer and style. Our ready to wear collection typically offers significant savings compared with ordering new — often at a fraction of the original price. Get in touch and we will let you know current pricing and availability.

How is Etoile by Elysee different from Love by Enzoani?
