Terms & Conditions

Our "Made to Order" Service

Our designers are all considered to be leading UK bridal designers and all Mathilda Rose dresses are made with the utmost care and attention, ensuring that you not only look a million dollars on your wedding day but you feel it too! We are absolutely certain in choosing a Mathilda Rose bridal gown that you will not be disappointed.

Once your dress has arrived in store you will be contacted and your final balance will be due within 30 days.

You will also need to consider if you would like to book to have any alterations completed by a Mathilda Rose seamstress. Alternatively, you may find local alteration specialists on line however we cannot vouch for their service or price structure.

Our seamstresses work on an independent self employed basis and are not employed by Mathilda Rose. However, for your convenience, all of your fittings will take place at Mathilda Rose. A minimum of two fittings will be required, one for pinning and one to check that everything is perfect.

Please note that Saturday appointments with a seamstress are not possible, please consider this when scheduling your diary.

Payment should be made directly to the seamstress by cash, bank transfer or cheque. An estimated cost will be advised at your first fitting. As a guideline alterations can cost from £250 to £380 for a hem and bodice adjustment.

At your fitting you will need your shoes and underwear. A change of shoes or underwear at a later date can change the fit of your dress and incur further alterations to your dress and additional cost to you.

In the event that you have to cancel your appointment we will try to accommodate you as soon as we can but during busy periods this can be difficult. If we do not receive 24 hours notice in writing, to cancel an appointment you will be charged a £50 cancellation fee. Any last minute changes to your dress will incur additional charges.

Technically the gown belongs to you once it has been paid for in full and we are handling it in ‘trust’ for you. We can undertake storing your gown for you at a cost of £50 per month. The gown may be taken into storage (off site) at busy times and only brought back to the store for fittings.

If you have any queries or concerns please contact nicola@mathildarose.co.uk.
