Many thanks, Jilly x " Bridal Re-Dress is located in a super quiet location with plenty of free parking! The vast array of gorgeous gowns are displayed in a comfortable, light and airy environment. There is lots of room for trying on wedding dresses and space to walk around and view one's reflection! My whole experience at Bridal Re-Dress was relaxing, with the undivided attention of Ruth who understood the style I had in mind immediately! My dress is exquisite, well made and represents excellent value for money. Our wedding guests exclaimed that my dress was 'stunning' thank you Ruth!" Ruth was so helpful. I really liked the one to one service I received and the relaxed surroundings helped me find the right dress at an amazing price. Dressmaker Vie made a wonderful job with the alterations too.
I would certainly recommend a visit to Bridal Re-Dress.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for my wedding dress!
The alteration by Vie was beautiful and I'm glad that it had to be done as it was so much prettier than just a zip.
Thanks again for your wonderful service and shop.

Dearest Ruth,
we had the most magical wedding on Saturday. Thank you so very much for making me feel so fabulous in your gorgeous dress. Everyone said how stunning I looked especially my husband! I also wore the Daddi earrings and felt so special.
I've told everyone how wonderful you are and your amazing shop.
I'll be in touch again after our honeymoon but just wanted to say a huge thank you, you are a star.
Huge hugs and lots of love

Vittoria says she had a wonderful wedding and loads of compliments about her dress. She loves it so much she has vowed to wear it every month for a day. However, our dry cleaner says, " No more assault courses Vittoria ! "
Bridal Re-Dress Bride Vittoriahi Ruth, hope you are well.
James and I got married on 12th of this month. it was a great day and the dress was amazing to wear and look at. I got complimented all day and really didn't want to take it off at the end of the day. I miss wearing it. Thank you so much for what you do, you were great when I visited you and I wouldn't of had a 'proper' wedding dress if your business didn't exist.
thank you.

Perfect from day one. All went to plan with the help of Ruth and Bridal Re-Dress and her beautiful dresses. Couldn't be happier with my dress and my bridesmaids' dresses.
All look perfection, fitting perfectly with my theme of a castle wedding.
Thank you so much Ruth
Bridal Re-Dress bride Maria
Just want to say a huge Thank You for finding me the most perfect dress! I didn't want to take it off! Will be bringing my mum to you for her dress, Zoe.
Bridal Re-Dress bride Zoe
We planned our wedding in four months and Bridal Redress was exactly what I needed.
I tried on three dresses in the barn; me, mum and nan had the place to ourselves and this one stood out as it was a satin white diamond colour and would fit perfectly for our Colchester Castle wedding.
It was also new and had been reduced from over a thousand pounds to £470. It only needed slight alterations in the length which Ruth organised and it fitted well as it has a pretty corset at the back.
Thank you Bridal Redress! This place is definitely worth a look! Ruth has much experience and can also advise you as to what dress works best.

Bridal Re-Dress bride CaronA
very big thank-you for helping me to find such a perfect wedding dress. I received so many compliments on the day and, more importantly, I felt a really great combination of a million dollars, but also super comfy and confident. I was just able to relax and enjoy the day, without fretting about how my dress looked. The corsagette in particular was a great hit and the perfect way to complete my outfit.I've told everyone about Bridal Re-dress - both about what a lovely experience it was coming and finding a dress, and also just what a great model you've created to benefit a whole host of good causes. When planning a wedding you're very conscious about the sheer amount of stuff needed for just one day. So it's nice that at least the dress wasn't adding to that mound of single-use stuff! Katy
Bridal Re-Dress Bride CatrionaHi Ruth, a little message to say thank you very much in helping me find my gorgeous dress, so many people commented on how lovely it was. We've had our big day and it was amazing, I've attached a few photos.
Thanks again. Have a lovely Christmas.

The dress was gorgeous! People said it was unusual, stunning, gorgeous.... I love it and want to live in it!
It was so lovely, I simply didn't want to take it off! I made Kevin film me 'swishing' in it!! 🙂 Thank you so so much! I am so pleased that we met at that fair! Lots of love, Helena xxx
Bridal Re-Dress Bride HelenaOur Jamaican, October 2017 wedding.
When I walked into your lovely place you made me feel so at ease. Then, when I first looked at the dress you chose for me, I thought 'no that isn’t for me but I will try it on'. You just knew! It fitted like a dream and I felt amazing, it was like I walked in that day without planning it and the dress was meant to be! It’s amazing how a dress I didn’t have in my head to wear was THE ONE! You are brilliant at what you do so thank you! Mrs Dennaford

Bridal Re-Dress Bride KeeleyGood morning Ruth,
What a wonderful surprise it was to receive a cheque in respect of my Maggie Sottero dress – I’m delighted the new bride was happy with it and wish her all the very best for a wedding day as perfect as mine. A really nice feeling knowing that such a beautiful dress will see daylight again (and that I’ve recovered some of the cost!).
Keep up all of your undoubtedly hard work for such great causes.
Best regards,
Vicki

Thank you so much for the cheque I received for the sale of my wedding dress. It really made my day and I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with your service.
My baby is six months old now believe it or not and doing great. The money will go towards home heating, so much appreciated.

Thank you
Caroline and Steve
Bridal Re-Dress Bride CarolinePrior to moving to Canada I had 4 months until our wedding in Ireland. It was so wonderful to have someone so understanding about the need for a dress in such a short time as the dress shops I had tried in Colchester were very snooty about the timeframe. Also they did not have the variety of styles that you offered.
It was great to have the place to ourselves and to have the freedom of so much time with your expertise. I knew when I put my dress on that it was mine and was so happy with the decision and the price and the fact that it was an ethical dress especially with the money going back to charity! I never could have afforded such an amazing dress anywhere else. Again, thank you so much for your help. I have and will recommend you to everyone that I still know that lives in Colchester and London.
Best wishes, Sara Kavanagh (McGealy).

I was very surprised and delighted that you sold the bridal gown so quickly. Thank you so much for the cheque.
It is excellent that the WWF will benefit from the sale too!
If I hear of anyone who wants to buy or sell a wedding dress I shall certainly give them your address.
Once again, many thanks.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Ruth It was a pleasant surprise to receive my cheque last week! I am delighted that my dress will get another opportunity to sparkle in the sun and hopefully help make someone else's special day a little more complete. I am delighted also that in selling the dress we were able to donate to a great cause. Many thanks for your efforts in selling my dress and for getting such a good result so quickly. All the best Helen

Thank you so much for your letter enclosing my cheque following the sale of my Maggie gown. This was well timed I must say and much appreciated just before Christmas!
The bride-to-be looks stunning and the dress looks so much better on her than it did me! I hope she has a great day and wish her well.
