We know that everyone wants to have a stress free wedding day and, while buying your dress online may seem a little daunting at first, we strive to ensure that purchasing your dream dress is as hassle free as possible. Here’s some questions we get from time to time.
Lilly Bridal is a 100% Australian owned and operated bridal store based in New South Wales. We have thoroughly researched and sourced the best manufacturers worldwide to bring you the quality you deserve when buying online. We understand the reservations brides-to-be have when purchasing such an important garment online, so we have done all the hard work for you to bring you the best quality dresses at an affordable price.
Our dresses are affordable because we are firstly an online store, and secondly because we only do appointments by demand. We don’t have the overheads of a traditional retail shop front, therefore we can pass the savings on to you.
Retail stores and well known brands often have an exorbitant mark up on wedding dresses even though they come from similar tailors to Lilly’s.
Lilly Bridal is changing the game; We want every women to look their absolute best on the one day when everything should be perfect.

We strongly suggest you measure yourself using our “Wedding dress Fitting Guide” to obtain the most accurate measurements.
Your dress will be made in a standard size according to our guide, you will need to choose the dress size closest to your actual measurements or a bit larger so alterations can be made to your gown once you have received it. The gown is customised to your specific height, so no alterations should be required for this measurement.
We strongly recommend that you grab some girlfriends and get them to take accurate measurements as attempting to do the measurements on your own may give varying results.
You will need to ensure you choose the dress size that is the closest to your actual size or a size larger to allow for alterations once you have received your gown. If for some reason the dress does not fit correctly due to faulty workmanship or incorrect size tailored by our staff, we will happily provide a refund or exchange at our discretion. Return shipping costs are the buyers responsibility. Once returned to our store, our team of service staff will assess the dress for any defects and/or to determine whether this dress has been made in accordance with your supplied measurements.
More information can be found on our Delivery and Returns page.
All of our dresses undergo a stringent quality control check before being packaged and shipped to you, therefore we guarantee our dresses will be as described and will be of the utmost quality.
Your gown will be made to a standard size, but for a perfect fit, we recommend having alterations made closer to the date of your wedding. Alteration costs are not included in the price of your wedding dress and must be arranged with your local dressmaker/alteration shop.
Lilly Bridal takes no responsibility for the quality of the alterations or final product as a result of alterations, nor will a refund be provided after alterations have been made to the gown.
If you have further questions about alterations, please Contact us for more information.
Most of our customers purchase their dress without online with us after finding the style they love the most and trying a similar dress on in a nearby store.
If you would like to see our range in person you can Book a Private Appointment and visit our studio in Wollongong. Afterwards, once you’ve order your dress it will be delivered directly to your door
We endeavour to provide the best possible service, so if your dress arrives damaged or is the incorrect dress size sent, we’ll gladly provide you with a refund.

Please note that some orders can take longer.

If there’s a specific design you have in mind or a customisation you can’t live without, please contact us and we’ll prepare a custom order.
As with any new dress, the material is super important!
Depending on the style of lace that is on your gown demands different lace textures that are required to be stiff to ‘hold everything together’ such as the Harper Gown which has little breast support other than the lace.
All our other lace fabrics, including appliques are super soft and feel great
We recommend any dress that is A-line, Ball-gown and Princess style dress will require a hoop.
We currently do not stock hoops in our catalogue however we will be incorporating this into our collection in the future. You should be able to hire or purchase a hoop from a local Bridal shop for small amount of money.
Should you encounter any difficulties, the staff at Lilly Bridal will be here to answer any queries and try to assist.
