As your wedding is less than 6 months away (our standard time frame for Made to Order Customized dresses), we will hand make your gown with priority. For an additional fee, your gown will be made especially for you to your size ranges and height.

As your gown will move immediately into production you must supply your measurements when placing your order. Please refer to our How to Take Your Measurements page to take all of your measurements and all them into your My Account immediately after ordering. Please use our live chat if you need help.

Congrats! We can make the date.

Your gown will be handmade for you to your size ranges and height. Your order will be dispatched approximately 6-8 weeks before your wedding date.

We will contact you approximately 5 months before your wedding day (just before your gown goes into production) to confirm your measurements.

Size Guide

REAL REVIEWS, FROM REAL BRIDES

  • I loved how easy it was to move around in my GLL gown! I tried on a lot of dresses before I went to Grace Loves Lace and didn’t feel comfortable even walking around in them, let alone dancing. GLL gown’s almost feel like you’re naked. The lace is so comfortable, and they accentuate where they are supposed to!

  • I loved feeling free and flowy. I didn’t want to feel constricted or heavy in a wedding gown and my dress made me feel so comfortable. The delicate detail in the lace of the gown was beautiful and I love that it was made to fit my body and I didn’t have to stress about gaining or losing weight before my wedding and needing last minute alterations.

  • GLL was the one and only place I visited when wedding dress shopping. I’ve always admired the ethereal beauty of the gowns and just knew I would find ‘The One’ with ease at GLL!

Made to Order Customised

GENERAL

Ready to Wear

GENERAL
  • Ready to Wear gowns are handmade to a standard dress size and 155cm shoulder to floor height.​
  • Ready to Wear gowns are priced higher than Standard gowns as they're available for immediate shipment.​

WHAT IS A SIZE RANGE?
  • A size range is a 5cm range that your measurements fall within and are taken at four to seven different areas of the body to determine the best fit for your shape.
  • For example — a bride may measure an XL bust, L under bust, XL waist and M hip, and we make your gown to the correct size range in each area. ​
  • The reason this process works is because our fabrics are very forgiving due to the stretch or bias elements in the design.
