Do I need to book an appointment?
All dress try on's are by appointment only so please see our available options below.
If you're simply calling in to browse accessories you are always very welcome however, it is worth bearing in mind that pre-booked appointments on each day will take priority and every day can be a little different. If you are planning to visit at a certain time it's always worth checking in with us in advance.
Shopping for bridesmaid dresses? You'll need to book our Bridesmaid Experience. This gives you dedicated time in the studio to explore all options, try on dresses along with one-to-one styling advice.
Shopping for day two options, a second bridal look, or civil ceremony? We recommend booking our Day Two Experience, where you'll have dedicated time to explore our collection of little white dresses, mini dresses, jumpsuits, bridal separates and accessories.
Appointments can also be arranged outside of general opening times by request.
Do you stock wedding dresses?
We don't currently stock traditional bridal gowns but you will find our curated edit of high quality party dresses, jumpsuits and contemporary bridal separates, along with carefully chosen accessories.
This includes two options:
Off the rack pieces that can be purchased on the day - options can vary depending on season and stock availability.
Premium pieces that offer custom fit options - guide lead times 12 - 16 weeks, rush orders can be accommodated for an additional fee.
Our prices range from €200 - €1200
Typically our clients choose pieces that express personality and individual style whether it be for civil ceremonies, city weddings, elopements, day two wedding celebrations, hen parties, honeymoon & beyond!
What else can I expect to find in store?
Bridesmaid dresses are at the heart of what we do, but there's plenty more to discover too.
Alongside our Six Stories collection you'll find our Day Two edit, veils, headwear, statement jewellery, handbags, apparel and finishing touches for every bridal celebration
What can I expect from my Bridesmaid Experience?
Our Bridesmaid Experience is all about making bridesmaid shopping feel easy, relaxed and personalised.
We offer our professional and friendly guidance with colours, fabrics and silhouettes, along with individual reassurance to help everyone find a look they love.
Our exclusive partnership with Six Stories allows us to offer their beautiful range of samples to try in person so we can then order based on individual requirements. This means our clients can enjoy the benefit of start to finish customer support and avoid the hassle and expense of additional import fees associated with shopping directly online.
Appointments last around 60–90 minutes and include Prosecco as well as non-alcoholic options with treats and plenty of time to enjoy this special and intimate experience.
Can't get everyone together? Don't worry, it happens all the time! We'll work with you to find the best way forward. You're welcome to bring up to five guests.
Need to take some snaps? No problem, we just ask that photos of dresses remain for your own personal reference and aren't shared on social media or online forums. Feel free to snap away elsewhere in the studio though, and don't forget to tag us!
What if one of my bridesmaids can't attend?
Don't worry – it's something we see all the time. Whether someone lives abroad or simply can't make the appointment, we'll always find a way to work around this and make the process as easy as possible.
Can I bring children to my appointment?
While not always recommended we can occasionally accommodate infants under the age of 2 once they are kept in a buggy or carry cot at all times throughout the appointment.
For any other age groups advance notice is required by email and will be considered on case by case basis.
What is your cancellation policy?
Appointments can be cancelled or rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. Cancellations within this timeframe are refunded less a €5 administration fee. Unfortunately, appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice cannot be refunded or rescheduled.
What Six Stories styles, colours and sizes do you have?
As Six Stories are a very fast moving global brand our range of samples can vary throughout the year.
You can however always rely on having a vast selection to try including Satin, Sculpt, Crepe and Chiffon styles across the full range of colourways. We are fully informed at all times throughout the year to guide you with availability which is naturally ever changing.
Our samples generally range from sizes 6–18, with selected styles available up to sizes 22–26.
If there's a particular style or colour you'd love to see, just let us know before your appointment.
How much are your bridesmaid dresses?
Our bridesmaid dresses range from €185 to €200.
While shopping directly on the UK site prices often appear lower it is important to know that additional import charges of approx €65 per dress will be applied by Revenue on entry to Ireland. An Post will bill you for this separately in order to release your shipment.
Our prices are fully inclusive with no hidden extras along with the peace of mind that comes with allowing us to take care of logistics and quality control as we care for your special order.
We can in certain circumstances also have dresses sent to a registered UK address offering further pricing benefits, simply ask us and we'll provide full details.
Don't forget all your €30 bridal credit is also applied to all full price dress orders.
When should I start to shop for Bridesmaid dresses?
We usually recommend booking your Bridesmaid Experience 6–12 months before your wedding. Starting early ensures the best choice and optimum flexibility for styles and colours.
How long do bridesmaid dresses take to arrive?
As every order is different, we are sometimes unable to guarantee exact delivery dates. Lead times depend on the style, colour and availability at any given time and quite often dresses can be in production at certain times throughout the year. We will always guide accordingly based on your wedding date while keeping you updated throughout the process.
What do I need to know before placing my bridesmaid dress order?
Found the one? Brilliant!
Most clients like to place their order with us on the day as our order schedule tends to fill up quickly and far in advance. However, we know that deliberations can often continue after the appointment which is why we include a one-week grace period to make any final changes to sizes, colours or styles simply by email.
Not quite ready to decide? That's absolutely fine too. We keep a record of sizing notes, styling and colour history from each appointment along with your exclusive €30 bridal booking credit for 30 days making it easy to pick up where you left off.
We can also arrange delivery to your preferred address, directly to individual bridesmaids or internationally if needed. Once your order has fully processed for dispatch you will receive an automatic update with full tracking details so you can monitor progress.
Every order is personally checked before collection or delivery, so you can relax knowing we take care of every detail.
What if I am in between sizes?
Don't worry – we are here to offer our full sizing guidance throughout your appointment. Based on our expert experience we do usually recommend choosing the size that fits your largest measurement, as it's much easier for a seamstress to take a dress in than let it out.
How is payment taken for my order?
Payment for all orders is in full at time of order. If your circumstances or dates change just let us know and so can make any necessary adjustments to honour your full order value to reflect this.
Can I make changes after placing my order?
Yes. You'll have a one-week grace period after placing your order to make changes to sizes, colours or styles. After this, your order will begin processing and changes may no longer be possible.
However, we encourage all our clients to communicate any concerns that may arise with us throughout the process. If dresses have not shipped it may present the opportunity to make a small adjustment although this is on a case by case basis and cannot be guaranteed.
This does not apply to rush orders or in cases where styles are in discontinuation.
What if one of my bridesmaids becomes pregnant?
The joys of life! Honestly, please just reach out to us as soon as possible.
If dresses have not shipped it may present the opportunity to make a small adjustment although this is on a case by case basis and cannot be guaranteed.
Can I return or exchange my bridesmaid dress?
Due to the opportunity to try samples in person in advance, our orders are placed based on individual requirements. For this reason we are unable to accept returns or exchanges as this incurs importing a whole new dress on your behalf which would incur the original costs involved.
If there is any issue with a dress it must be reported to us by email within 10 days of arrival.
Do you offer alterations?
We don't currently offer alterations in the studio, as many of our clients travel from across Ireland.
In most cases bridesmaid dresses tend only to need minor adjustments, so a reputable local seamstress is often all that's needed.
We recommend booking your alterations around 6–8 weeks before your wedding and bringing your shoes and underwear to your fitting.
Are your sale dresses available in store?
Our sale dresses are currently available online only and not available to try in store due to limited space.
However, unlike custom dress orders returns are available within 14 days of purchase for exchange or store credit.
Still have a question?
If there's anything we haven't covered, just pop us an email. Whether you're at the very beginning of your bridesmaid journey or ready to book your appointment, we're here and always happy to help.
