Timeless Dresses with Classic Service!

We have ordered dress from PDC for some time now, and they are always such fantastic quality. The world does not have enough classic conversation styles, and PDC is the dress maker we keep returning too.

Recently, we need to split an order to have it delivered in time for a wedding, Jo was extremely quick to jump on it and send us the split order to ensure we could make the wedding.

Jo, thank you so much!

Kennedy roll collar pencil dress in colour Bordeaux

I bought a Kennedy roll collar pencil dress in colour Bordeaux . Previously I have bought the same dress in another colour along with other styles, the material then was far far superior quality and must say I am very disappointed in the fabric quality in the Bordeaux dress I am keeping the dress as I had it in the sale, but if I had paid full price for this garment I would have sent it back immediately . Please don’t start letting yourselves down guys, people deserve quality for their hard earned money

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We would like to reassure you that the Bordeaux version is made using the same fabric base and is sourced from the same trusted supplier as our other Kennedy dresses. We have not made any changes to the fabric quality, and this is the first instance of feedback of this nature we have received. Occasionally, slight differences in feel can occur due to the dyeing and finishing process for different colours.

We truly value your feedback and will ensure it is shared with our production team. Your continued support means a great deal to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

I returned a dress as it didn't fit me

I returned a dress as it didn't fit me, almost a month ago. I've had no acknowledgement of this return and no reply to the two emails I've sent them. I won't be ordering from them again. Very disappointing.

Wow!!ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!

Wow!!! What a FANTASTIC company this is!!!
... I fell on the site by chance looking for a "50's style" dress for my sons wedding... I didn't want the typical "mother of the groom" outfit. After searching the "regular" shops by traipsing round Manchester... (I HATE shopping by the way).. Then looking "on line" which filled me with anxiety due to returns policies and the lack of clarity on the quality of the material, THANKFULLY I came this company!!
Oh my goodness!!... I have NEVER had such a fantastic shopping experience!! Their selection of BEAUTIFUL,HIGH QUALITY dresses and skirts leaves you spoilt for choice!... I actually ended up purchasing TWO dresses!!! They are absolutely beautiful!!!!!
The customer service is SECOND TO NONE....Communication is EXCELLENT from the initial order! Delivery is quick! The BEST thing I have found (apart from the dresses!) is the AFTER SALES from the customer service team. "David" took time out to call me direct resolving a query I had... I have NEVER had that standard of customer service ... and I am 62!!!
If you order from this FANTASTIC company you WILL NOT be disappointed!!
CONGRATULATIONS to The Pretty Dress Company " for reinstating the PERSONAL standard of shopping we USED to have!!
! I am already looking to purchase again!!!

My second dress and just as beautiful…

My second dress and just as beautiful Kennedy dress in Rose Pink. ( previous dress Odelle in Emerald) Amazing cut, construction and colour. Just what I wanted and couldn’t find anything as stylish in the shops. I advise a size up if you might be between sizes.

Pretty big service for Pretty Little Dress

Unfortunately dress size ordered not big enough. Our fault. Dress was spot on and wife very disappointed not to be able to wear. Return via P.O. was simple but expensive compared to other internet suppliers. Refund was prompt and liked the acknowledgement of receipt.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you found the dress beautiful and appreciated the quick refund process. We’re sorry the size wasn’t quite right this time — our sizing chart is designed to help with the perfect fit, but we completely understand how tricky it can be when ordering online.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding postage costs; we’re always reviewing our return options to make them as convenient and affordable as possible. We hope you’ll find the perfect fit next time, as it would be wonderful to serve you again.

A gift for my wife which she loves

A gift for my wife which she loves. It is a size 10 which is accurate but perhaps snug. Just bear in mind when sizing. Well made and delivered swiftly, although rather tightly packed into a bundle than in a box. An area I’d say needs improving when spending £150 which is why I’ve given it 4 stars rather than 5.

The dresses are lovely but the sleeves…

The dresses are lovely but the sleeves are extremely tight. Not every size 8 has the arms of a child ! Some of us lost the weight and don't have the slimmest of arms.
Can't fault the material or the cut of the dress, although it was fun trying to get in and out of it alone !

If you'd like, our customer care team would be happy to assist with sizing advice or alternative styles that may offer a more comfortable fit.

Impossible to communicate with this company

I have tried to place an order with this company but the offer code they offered me will not work at checkout. I have emailed them and posted explaining on FB but my messages seem to be deleted. I am not impressed by their customer service.
