Our dress are made-to-order so we have sample dresses available for you to try before you place your order. We don’t have every style/length/sleeve/size combination available (there are 240!) but we will endeavour to accommodate your ideal request, if we don’t have the exact design combination we will send you the correct dress style & size albeit with a different sleeve.
Sample dresses are sent out for a 7 day loan but with prior arrangement you may be able to loan a sample dress for longer.
Sample dresses are processed as they are received and are sent out via a 2-3 working day courier.
You can arrange to receive a sample dress for a particular date, get in touch to discuss.
There is a £20 charge to cover the cost of postage & packaging and cleaning per dress however this charge will be deducted from your order total should you then go on to place an order for your own customised dress.
There is additional postage charges for sample dresses being sent overseas.
Its is your responsibility to cover the cost of return postage to us, we recommend online courier www.parcel2go.com for the most reasonable rates.
We strongly recommend you use a tracked postal service to return dresses to us.
Should the sample dress/es be returned in a damaged condition, not return or lost in transit unfortunately we will have to charge you the full cost of the dress/es.
I found the sample dress and swatch service ideal as we received 2 dresses in styles and sleeve combination that interested us, in the relevant size. They were delivered promptly and we tried them on several times. The dresses along with the colour swatches provide an ideal way to sample what a made to order dress would look like.
The service I received for the sample dresses was fantastic. This is such a great idea to be able to try on the dresses and Holly was more than accommodating in offering to send through additional dresses and larger colour swatches. Holly was also really helpful in providing advice on what would suit my sister and sizing. I would definitely recommend Willow & Pearl bridesmaids dresses to anyone as there are so many style and colour options.
