Information for wedding dresses £250-£450 only!
Our bridal gowns have at least 4 layers of fabrics (not including the interlining 3 around neckline) to make bodice of bridal gowns. Cheaply made bridal gowns have only 2 layers of fabrics (satin and lining), and some even have no lining. With 2 layers of interlining, the bodice part of our bridal gowns are very firm. We also add another layer of interlining around neckline to make this part of the dress extra solid. As we know some of the "so called" designer dresses have only 1 layer of interlining.
There are 10 bones in the bodice of most of our bridal gowns, so the bodice is strong.
2. Ellie Bridal adds 10 bones in bodice of most of bridal gowns, so the bodice of part of our bridal gowns are very strong. For cheaply made bridal gowns, there are much less bones used, and some even have no bones at all.
There is horse hair interlining all around hemline of our bridal gowns. This fixes the shape of the train and hemline. Cheaply made gowns definitely do not have this hemline enhancement
We only uses Japan made Matsuno beads (also called MGB beads). This is the top quality bead in this industry, and the price is 15 times higher than the beads on cheaply made bridal gowns.

We recommend you to have your measurements taken by a professional seamstress. If not, please follow our instructions in "How to Measure" section below.
If you are right on the edge of 2 sizes, order the large one. If your bust equals size 14, and your waist and hips are size 12, you should order size 14. Gown sizes are very different from regular clothes. Remember it is easier to cut a dress down than trying to lose that last inch!
Measurement Tips Bust -
Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust.
Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides.
You must wear a bra when taking this measurement.
Waist -
This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it's an inch or so above your belly button.
Also known as the natural waistline.

This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone.
Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline.
This measurement is not needed for full gowns.
Natural Height -
Your height from head to toe.
Hollow to hem -
Start the tape at the hollow at the base of your neck and measure down to where you want the hem.
Also, be sure you are wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day.
