  • Question How accurate is my ship date and why is it estimated? showhide
    Answer

    Please note all ship dates are Estimated Dates/Tentative only and not 100% guaranteed they will ship on the exact date shown, it's an approximate date based on what the Designer gives to us. Manufacturers do not guarantee their ship dates since their production can vary based on the factory. Most dresses typically ship on time, but it's possible a dress could ship 1-2 weeks early or 1 week later then posted. Rush dates are slightly more accurate & a fee is charged for this service by the Designer & they issue a more round about date for shipping. Calculate in your shipping time as well with any ordered dress.

Sizing - Dye Lots - Size Charts

 

  • Question What is a Dye Lot and can you tell more about Dye Lots? showhide
    Answer

    A color dye lot is assigned to a batch of dresses usually from the same style of dress from the same collection so they all match in color. The designer usually uses the same dye lot for all dresses that are the same style number. If you set up a bridal party group, we will keep all orders together, and place it as one with the designer to ensure the same dye lot. If they have different style numbers, it's possible they will not be the same dye lot and could have some slight variation in the color with different styles numbers and fabrics.

     

  • Question How do I know what size to order? showhide
    Answer

    Each designer/manufacturer creates their own size charts, which reflects how they cut their sizes. It is important that you follow the individual designer's chart to decide your size. It is always best to have an alterations expert, seamstress or someone else take your measurements using a soft cloth measuring tape. It is not good to pull the measuring tape tightly, instead make sure that it loose by at least one finger, this will ensure the best fit for you.  Check out the designer’s size chart found on each dress page and compare your measurements to the suggested size from the size chart. Please choose your size based on the chart only, not everyday sizing. Also, remember, don't not choose a size that will only fit your waist, when your bust calls for a much larger size. We suggest that you order the size that accommodates your largest measurements. The designer will be unable to accommodate any changes to the size once the order has been placed & all bridesmaids orders are final sale.

    If you have any questions, please contact us directly at: Support@BellaMeraBridal.com and we are happy to have answers!

  • Question Am I responsible for choosing my own size? showhide
    Answer

    Yes, the customer is solely responsible for the size ordered, we will provide the Designer chart to you. You will have to decide if extra length is required. We cannot assume any responsibility for your own measurements used at the time of ordering or should your size change. Please be sure you order based on the size chart and double check your invoice that all details are 100% correct. Even if you call via phone and we suggest a size based on those current measurements, you are still responsible for choosing your own size at checkout. We don't take verbal claims of sizing, you make these selections online yourself & you are 100% responsible for the size you decide to order.

  • Question Can you tell me why my measurements are putting me in a larger size? showhide
    Answer

    This is totally normal for a specialty ordering and the bridal industry brands. This is very common. A woman that may wear a 10, may wear a 12 or 14 in some size charts. Remember, that every designer makes their own chart, so the rules are not standard across the board like everyday brands you may be used to. Even if you wear a size 8 in one bridesmaids designer, doesn't mean it's the same for another. Just keep in mind that a dress that may have a fuller bottom or skirt area; may have room to play because it flowy in your hip measurements.  If the dress meets you at your waist, then the waist measurement will be very important. Check if your style allows for a little extra room, depending on the cut of the dress.  If its a tighter skirt area, then the hips will also come into play.  If your busty, you know for sure you need that dress to come in that will cover your bust size and waist if it's a flowy skirt. 

  • Question Why are alterations needed for a better fit? showhide
    Answer

    Most formal dresses will need some sort of tailoring, so the dress is perfected for that special day. These special moments will create lasting memories for many years to come when looking back at photographs and videos. Since our dresses are not made to order based of your measurements. We suggest that you order the size that accommodates your largest measurements. A tailor will have their own prices for such alterations and these are at your cost. We are not responsible for any cost of your alterations. Most dresses need alterations for a perfect fit. With special occasion it is very common to get alterations, usually in the bust, waist, hips and hem line.

  • Question What if I am between two sizes and do you have any other sizing tips? showhide
    Answer

    If you are between sizes, no need to fret!  We’d recommend that you order the size that will accommodate the most fitting part of the dress, taking into account for the style of the dress that you are ordering and where your measurements are needed most. Bust and waist are usually accounted for right away, as many dresses can be flowy in the waist area. If you have a fitted dress, hips are important to pay attention to. As with special ordered items, you will most likely need alterations for a perfect fit. For tailoring costs, you can call a local tailor in your area.

    • Dresses are not made to order based off your current measurements, you choose a size closest to your size on the chart for each designer
    • If your are taller then 5"7 before heels, we do recommend Extra Length [Always take into account heels you might be wearing]
    • Make sure all your measurements covers the size that you are choosing in comparison to the style 
    • If your bust is 36, and the size you want has a bust of 32, but the waist size is perfect, you will need to change the size that covers both areas
    • If you wear a size 8 in one bridesmaids designer, doesn't mean it's the same for another. 
    • Start by measuring your bust, waist and hips and comparing to the size charts we provide
    • We do sell fabric by the yard, should you need that for alterations
    • If your pregnant or post-pregnant, please feel free to reach out at Support@BellaMeraBridal.com

     

  • Question Why are some plus sizes assessed extra costs? showhide
    Answer

    This cost is due to more being fabric being used for larger sizes. Most of our dress designers do charge an additional fee for plus sizes. You can see each product page to see if any fee would apply.
