Guide To Buying a Wedding Dress Online

for your wedding dress online is such a big part of the planning process and knowing where to start can be overwhelming. By focusing on your individual style and which features you’d like to highlight, you can streamline your search early on. Consider your body type and establish the gown style that makes you feel most confident, and which features you’d like to accentuate– after all, you know your personal style and what flatters your figure best!   

Additionally, considering your fabric preferences is an important step. Do you love the fluidity of bias-cut silk that effortlessly drapes over your curves, or do you lean towards the security of supportive figure-hugging crepe or lace?

Our dress descriptions provided for each style on our website are designed to offer clarity and ensure you have all the important details. This will give you a clear understanding of the fabrication, how the dress is lined and indicate as to how it fits.

Traditional gowns made from rigid fabrics and boning, often lack comfort and flexibility. At Grace, our designs prioritize both comfort and style. Utilizing stretch lace, buttery soft crepe, and effortless silk and satin fabrics, once you slip into a Grace gown you won't want to take it off.  

Our Made to Order Standard gowns are made to a set size from XS to XXXL, with a shoulder to floor height of 155cm. These gowns are made within a 6 month time frame. We recommend for your gown to arrive 2 months before your wedding to allow for any required alternations.  

 Ready to Wear is a collection of gowns handmade to a standard size and height, inclusive of sizes from XS to XXXL. The gowns in this collection are in stock and ready to ship in 3-5 days, perfect for elopements or last minute brides. 

Our Made to Order Customized service is designed to celebrate inclusivity for all body types. We understand that measurements can vary across different body parts, which is why our Made to Order Customized size range focuses on four key areas: your bust, under-bust, waist, and hip.
