My dress was perfect! A bargain at £100 and my husband was gobsmacked at it! loved it! This website and company is fantastic and really helps people that can't afford the high street bridal stores. Julie.

hi 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. Sam Brushwood (formerly Jackson)

Prior 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).

Congratulations to Catherine and Neil. Didn't her mum make a good job of adding the capped sleeves! Ruth, I was so pleased to find your shop. You have an amazing range of dresses, which is great if like me you're looking for something a little bit different to what's in other shops. Thanks for your help with trying them on. I found just what I wanted. Catherine

Hi Ruth, Thank you so much for your letter about my original wedding dress - that's fantastic news about it selling and mostly about the donation to Cancer Research! Also, thank you so much for your help in finding my wedding dress - I love the dress and can't wait to wear it in August. I will definitely be recommending you and Bridal Redress to anyone I know that is getting married in the future and also to those that are already married and have a pretty dress they no longer need!! Thank you, Kate.

Bridal Re-Dress Donor & Bride Kate
Ruth, Thank you for playing an important part in our wedding day. My dress looked beautiful and everyone commented on it and asked where I had bought it. You helped me choose well and you were very patient with me trying different styles and your after care has been great too. You do know how to look after your brides. Once again thank you so much Ruth, I will be highly recommending you to anyone who is looking for that perfect dress. Mrs Tracey Cummings

Bridal Re-Dress Bride Tracey
Good 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
A 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 Catriona
Hi Ruth, the wedding went well, usual hiccups. Sarah looked amazing in her dress & Amy looked lovely in hers and had lots of admirers. Regards Diana

Bridal Re-Dress Bride Sarah & bridesmaid Amy
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.

thank you so much for selling my wedding dress for me. I was so pleased when I received your letter and the cheque and I'm so glad the dress made another bride happy.

I was amazed and delighted by the quality, variety and volume of dresses available in Bridal Re-Dress. Ruth has created a very comfortable outlet in fabulous surroundings. Her studio is very spacious and Ruth is very welcoming and helpful. I tried on so many dreses I was spoilt for choice and she helped me find the perfect dress (which turned out to be brand new), veil and tiara at an amazing price. What I also admire is that Ruth runs her service with any proceeds she makes going to charity. I cannot recommend Ruth enough. If you're looking for a Wedding dress, your first appointment must be with Bridal Re-dress. Claire Barley, Chelmsford

Our 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 .

Dear Ruth, I am delighted to learn that you have sold my dress and veil so quickly and someone else can enjoy their special day in such a special dress. It is really nice of you to let me know that MacMillan have benefitted from these proceeds and I didn't expect you to re-imburse me for cleaning costs, which is also really appreciated. I hope you continue to keep up all your good work, you are an angel. Best Wishes, Claire
