Bridal FAQs

How far in advance should I book an appointment?

We recommend beginning your bridal journey around 12 months before your wedding. Lead times vary depending on the design route you choose – Couture, Bespoke or Made To Order. If your timeline is shorter, we will always do our best to accommodate your circumstances wherever possible.

What is the size range of your dresses? 

Our sample gowns typically range from UK sizes 6–18. However, your Phillipa Lepley dress will be precisely crafted to your individual measurements so we can accommodate any size. 

Where are your dresses made? 

Our exquisite couture wedding dresses are meticulously crafted in the Phillipa Lepley Atelier in London.

Do you offer a bespoke design service?

Yes. Designing a bespoke dress with Phillipa Lepley is a joyous and highly creative affair. If you would like to discuss our bespoke bridal service, please contact us.

Can I add something personal to the design of my dress?

Yes; we are renowned for our expertise in creating bespoke details. Whether an embroidered initial, special symbol or a unique design for the whole dress, our team works closely with each client to deliver their dream. Brides can also work with our designers to craft a bespoke wedding veil.

Can you make dresses that aren’t wedding dresses?

Yes. In addition to bridal couture, Phillipa Lepley creates exceptional designs for a variety of occasions — including black-tie evening gowns, elegant mother-of-the-bride ensembles, bespoke bridesmaid dresses, and sophisticated wedding guest attire, as well as spectacular ‘second dresses’ for brides, from chic Registry Office outfits and rehearsal dinner dresses to evening dancing dresses and elegant pieces for the following day’s celebrations.
