  • All adult skirt lengths are cut 45 inches from waist to the floor.
  • Sizes over UK size 20 have an additional charge of 10%
  • The following styles are not supplied for size 20 and above :- Dior & Fabienne
  • We cater for sizes up to UK size 28 in most adult styles. We know it's often frustrating for larger ladies to go into a bridal shop and find a dress that they can try on. It's inevitable that all the nice samples are a size 12. Many of the samples on offer are not available over size 18. You might as well buy direct to save money and hassle.
