Frequently asked questions
How long do appointments last?
Appointments last 1 hour and 15 minutes but if you feel you need a longer or shorter time then this can be requested. We ask that you please arrive on time for your appointments for if you arrive early or late it will either take up someone elses appointment time or your own.
Can I bring someone with me?
You can bring up to two people with you for your appointment. We recommend bringing someone whose opinion you trust, but will also encourage you to stay true to your own individual style.
Can you hold items that I'm interested in?
We are happy to hold one item for a day or two whilst you have a think about it
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept credit cards.
Do you take deposits?
Yes we can take a 50% deposit on the total purchase. Items must be paid off within 3 months. If you require different payment terms there's no harm in asking! We do not offer partial payments on website purchases.
What is the lead time on your order in bridal dresses?
We have a short lead time on most of our reproduction dresses. They can be available from 2-18 weeks depending on the dress in question. All of our vintage dresses can be taken away on the day of your appointment.
Is Dirty Fabulous pram/wheelchair accessible?
Yes, our store has on-street level access.
Do you sell online?
Yes, we have an online store which shows a select range of our vintage items. Anything available online will not be on the shop floor. If you have seen something you love in our online store and would like to try it, simply let us know before your appointment and we can have it there for you. If you get the chance to visit our boutique for an appointment you will see we have a huge collection!
If you have seen any of our items on Instagram or Facebook and would like to get more details or purchase them we can do that too.
Do you ship items nationally or internationally?
We are happy to ship worldwide for an additional cost which we can check prior to any purchase.
How often do you get new stock in to Dirty Fabulous?
We receive new stock on a weekly to monthly basis. These items maybe vintage, bridal or accessories or a mix of everything. To keep up to date with our new arrivals, follow us on social media.
Do you cater for larger/plus sizes?
We do our very best to cater for a wide range of sizes. Vintage dresses are more commonly found in sizes UK 6 to UK 12 but our collection will often have UK 16 dresses and several UK 18 sizes in both our vintage and bridal collections.
Our reproduction BRIDAL dresses are available in many different sizes depending on the style.
Do I need an appointment just to browse?
We take walk-ins whenever we are free which may suit you in you happen to pass by our store. But we mostly work by appointment, so if you are travelling specifically to see us then we’d recommend booking in. We are happy for you to make an appointment just to browse without any pressure or commitments.
Do you buy items in from individuals?
No, we never take our stock in this way and we recommend you either bring them to a consignment store or sell them online. We source all of our own stock and work with the best American dealers.
Do you stock second-hand modern items? Do you take donations?
It is not part of our business but if you want to send us pictures of your items we can assess it on an individual basis. We might be able to advise you what to do with it.
Do you stock bridesmaids dresses?
We have a fabulous range of both long and short occasion dresses but as these are all original pieces, they are completely unique and no two dresses will be alike.
If you need multiple dresses for your bridesmaids and you want them to wear vintage then the dresses would compliment each other but they will never be the same dress.
Can your vintage dresses be ordered in different sizes or colours?
No, our vintage dresses are original pieces from the 1920's to 1980's. There will only ever be one available and we can't source another.
Our reproduction wedding dresses are new and they can be ordered in different sizes.
