Confetti & Lace

AWFUL shop, please don’t buy your dress from here. THEY SELL FAKE WEDDING DRESSES!!! I bought a dress I had tried on only to find when I picked it up that it was the wrong dress, similar in shape, but the detailing was VERY different, cheap looking and ridiculously too big for me to the point altering it would not have been possible, definitely not the dress I’d tried on and paid for. Confetti and Lace would do nothing to fix the problem and would not refund me. Not only that but the dress label (hand written!) said it was a 2007 design and a size 8 which it clearly wasn’t. I’m 5’2″ and a petite 6. The label said it was a design by Callista which is for the larger lady and their sizes start at 12, also they werent designing dresses as far back as 2007 so the labelling was obviously wrong/​faked. I have written numerous letters to their shop and their registered offices but have had no reply. I am now looking to take legal action against them. I had to buy another dress to wear for my wedding. Avoid at all costs.

First Impressions are great, really good shop, and very attentive.
But once you part with your money, and they put the order in, its all down hill from then!
Ordered one of their more expensive dresses. had the full treatment, and a really good day when it was ordered.
BUT. they did not bother to call when the dress had arrived, it was massively too big, and none of the proportions were right, and they would only offer 1 appointment (at the worse possible time) and they were not willing to make any effort to change the time/​date.
also a Friend of ours ordered a Vail from the same shop, and it arrived ripped. other customers we spoke to at the time told how their dress came back with glue on it, marks and other problems.
We gave up in the end, and took the dress away and got a local dress designer to finish it.
do not be fooled by their salesman ship. they are great when you first go in, and your first visit before you pay the money, then they do not care, as its too late!

would give this 0 stars if it would have let me but it didnt! I bought my bridesmaids dresses from Confetti & Lace in Lakeside — instantly they didnt really wanna serve me because i look so young, sort of the view i couldnt possibly be serious/​be able to afford their wonderful shop. They never once offered me a drink or really helped it was up to me to ask things i needed to no etc. I have 3 adult BM and one 7year old, i didnt want the 7 year old in the same dress as the adults because the adults was a corset top — a 7 year old doesnt need that and i wanted her to look a little bit young — because she is!
They couldnt get me in the design of the childrens dress but assured me it was a one piece rather than a 2 piece — without corset and had little straps. The dress comes in last week, it is exactly the same as the adults — no straps, corset two piece. It looks more like a size 8 than an 8Junior (They ordered 8year old because of her height apparently)
So she tries the dress on, the skirt drops to the floor its way to big, and the top falls down to the floor after being corseted up — thats how big it is. Although they insisted they picked the size for the heigh, she has had to have 5 inches taken off the length :| so basically they ordered the wrong size? But they are insisting they havent.
So we paid £125 for alterations — for each dress (i understand everyone is a different size so i am not fussed about paying for the other dresses) and when we went back to the fittings — non of them fit. They have all been altered wrong. And listen to their excuse
The shop lady said ‘Well there are Next dresses, and Armani Dresses, you have bought Next dresses’!!!
What??? £280 Dresses plus alterations (Plus the straps we had to buy for the Little one) and they cant alter the dresses because i have bought cheap ones.
I am so angry with them — PLEASE do not use them if you have a choice, they are so rude and have messed up all the dresses. I have got to go back next week to make sure they have been altered correctly — i just am crossing my fingers they will be ok!

Really great shop! Staff are helpful, loads of wedding clothes. Its a bit deceptive from the outside as it doesnt look very big but when you go into the shop, it goes further back. The manager is absolutely brilliant and the wedding clothes are gorgeous! It is a little expensive but its worth the money.
