Seriously think hard before buying here, some people have done ok, but many have not, and if it goes wrong, it is virtually impossible to put right. My daughters made to measure prom dress arrived 6cm to big on the bodice, and to correct it would cost me double what I've paid. Check the facebook page- DIY dress disasters, just don't chance it, and definitely not if you haven't left enough time to sort it out.
Ordered size 16 dress and here the problem begins
1. Dress arrives late and in a plastic bag like it's come from eBay!
2. Material not what dress in picture made of, beads beginning to fall off but willing to over look as not much time and daughter still likes look of dress.
3. Size 16 more like size 12 (this is why I contacted diydress)
Diydress inform me that it is my fault I ordered wrong dress. They ask me to send measurements of dress which I do they then ask me to send pictures of the tape measure on the dress! They then tell me it's my fault again and offer £15 and tell me they will make a new dress for a reduced price of £80. Absolutely shocking service do not waste your money here.
I am getting married abroad and wanted a beech wedding dress. I am not small a uk size 16-18. My 17 year old daughter found this dress for me. I already had one she didn't like it at all, so I thought I would order from sit dress as it wasn't too expensive. She also measured me. When the dress arrived I could not believe the quality in it, I went for one of the cheaper ones with postage it was just over 80 pounds a bargain. The fit and dress is perfect I absolutely love it. I will def be ordering from you again. Thankyou
I must confess I was skeptical about ordering my wedding dress online. But, the result was amazing. The dress I ordered looks just like in the picture, it fits me very well ( it is custom made) and the customer care service was excellent. It did arrived a bit later, but that was due to the winter holidays ( Christmas period).
I would recommend ( I already did) this site to my friends.
Hello Thank you. I received my dress, dress arrived earlier than expected and it's looks gorgeous, very pleased with the service of the DIY team. The staff were very helpful and responsive whenever I contacted them. The quality of the dress was superb and it looked near enough exactly the same as the picture Many thanks for your good work. I appreciate your hard work. Shirley
I love browsing diydress, I bougt a wedding dress in 2015 and another evening dress just two months ago. The wedding dress was a little pricey but worth every penny, I saved around 800£ by buying it from this site, a local dressmaker would have charged at least 1100£ and there was nothing to address. Same goes for the much cheaper evening dress. Great quality and fair support.
Terrible service. Ordered dark burgundy dress. Got sent bright red dress. Was told they are "nearly the same colour" so they wont give me a refund. Apart from the dress colour it was badly made also. Am taking legal action against them because the customer service is so terrible.
I have received my dresses today and I think they are lovely. All dresses are beautiful and perfect fits. The dresses look as if it costs hundreds of pounds, such good quality.
I am very happy with the goods and will send pics of the event when it occurs next February. Thank you diydress.
I ordered my daughter's homecoming dress from here. We received it on Wednesday and the dance was Saturday. We felt sure it would fit since we sent her measurements to them. It was about 4 sizes too big and we had no time for alterations. Now, I can't get anyone to respond to me about returning the dress! It's like they've fallen off the face of the earth. Another thing, the dress was made of very cheap material and wasn't as pretty as in the picture. I Do NOT recommend DIYdresses.com to anyone!
Hi diydress team I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for you! I received my wedding dress today and it is absolutely beautiful! And a perfect fit. The dress looks as if it costs hundreds of pounds, such good quality Thank you.We are getting married in August. Thank you for all your help and for making such a beautiful dress for me. Many thanks. Amy
Can't say enough good things about this site. I was very hesitant but I'm glad I took the risk and bought my dress from diydress. My dress got to me in 3 weeks and it fits perfectly. I can't wait to wear it for our event.
My dress arrived today and it is absolutely stunning! I am getting married and have been looking for a dress that would be floor length and be light and sophisticated. I ordered this dress in white. The beading, lace and pearls are so intricately made with beautiful detail! Like most of you, I was so nervous to order online. I read every review and would go to order and then become nervous if the dress would be of good quality. I can't even begin to tell you how satisfied and amazed I am at the quality and beauty of this dress! The shipment and delivery of my dress I was able to monitor online through a tracking system provided by diydress. So impressed! Thank you diydress!
I ordered two dresses for my prom from this website, and my order came to £200. Before ordering I asked the online help service if my dresses would be refundable regardless and they said yes. I ordered my dresses expecting them to resemble the image shown on the website, however when receiving the dresses, one is damaged and can't be worn, the other is completely the wrong size, and both show no resemblance to the images on the website. Considering I was told that I could refund I emailed and asked to refund, however they were exceptionally rude and disrespectful and replied eventually claiming they would refund £20. £20! When I paid £200, it is a complete an utter scam, and all they do is send out fake copies of the dresses and keep your money. I would advise everybody to never order from this website.
NO STARS! Please do not buy from this company. They may have a uk website but they are based in China and sell you cheaply made copies of the dresses on their website. All the website pictures are poached from real sites too. If you want to read honest reviews or have been cheated by this company and want advice on how to get your money back ( they will not refund you even if it is in their returns policy) then go to 'diydress reviews' on Facebook, this was set up by a very upset customer and over 100 people have joined in less than 6 months. Their website is full of their own reviews and they delete any poor ones, and they also write their own reviews on the 'review centre'. I am one of the lucky ones and managed to get my money back through my banks 'chargeback' scheme but it has taken me 6 months.
There have been many negative reviews on DIY dresses website, and that is completely ridiculous. I've just received my dress for prom, and it's perfect. I cried at how happy I was that it was exactly like it was advertised! I will defientely be ordering more in the future! Super super pleased!
I cannot find fault, the staff know what a customer need and what will suit the customer. They are helpful, warm, friendly and efficient. My daughter looked stunning with the dress they have made for her. I am so impressed and can only highly recommend.
I ordered my dress 2 months ago for my vacation. My honest review on this online shop Diydress is that I am really satisfied with my purchases. The dress is fabulous, the price is very competitive. Their customer service was super helpful. And now I'm enjoying with the dress. Thank you. I will recommend diydress to all my friends.
I am absolutely delighted with everything I have received today, an exquisite wedding dress and several wedding accessories.
Everything fits perfectly and is to my size specification.
I was so worried waiting for this dress and praying it would be everything I hoped it would be and I cried with joy when I put it on and saw how beautiful it was.
I can't thank you enough for giving me the best Christmas Present I could have wished for. I can now relax and enjoy the festivities knowing I have the dress of my dreams for my wedding day in April.
This is my second purchase from DIYDress. I got a fantastic Bridesmaid dress earlier this year and was delighted then too.
Hi Andrea, thanks for taking your time and letting us know about your experience. I hope you had great holidays and a happy new year! <3
I read lots of reviews before ordering my wedding dress... all looked good but minutes after ordering it i came across lots of really bad reviews and then spent the next 2 weeks panicking that my dress wouldn't be right, but it arrived today and is lovely! Looks just like the picture, fits perfectly (i had mine made to measure) and is well made. Ok so it arrived folded in a bag so the lining is a little creased, but nothing a bit of steam won't fix! Maybe i really was just one of the lucky ones...
I ordered my daughters prom dress for 2016, sh is quite a tall slim girl so we had to have it made to measure. The girls were very good in showing what measurements were needed in order for the dress to fit exactly right. The dress was made within the time bracket we needed it, and when it arrived it looked and fitted beautifully. Thank you DIY dresses I would definetly use your services again.
Answer: Please do not buy from them! They are scam artists and thieves! Most of the pictures on the website are stolen from actual designers and what you'll get are very poorly made and envisioned versions of someone else's designs. The UK laws actually have an exception for made to measure services, so they are not required to offer refunds. However if (as mine were) your order is not what you paid for, there is a breach of contract. I attempted to get my money back and negotiate with them, but they are very stubborn and even the ones that understand english are adamant that there is nothing wrong with what they are doing. Eventually got my money back through my bank, but please please do not make the same mistake I did. Buy elsewhere, preferably in person or if online, at least choose a designer that you have seen and like in real life and can verify what it should look like!

Answer: Same thing happened to me. Bidice on the dress is completely wrong. And was told the dress was beautiful and was perfect for what I wanted but not what I ordered and its very cheap material. Avoid this site
