FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know what size to order ?
A: The sizes of all of the designers’ maternity dresses that we stock are based on your pre-pregnant size, although variations do occur between the different designers and you may also need to consider the material (for example, Nicole Michelle’s lace dresses are a small cut, so they recommend you order one size larger than your normal pre-pregnant size).
Also take a look at all the size charts on our Sizing page – this will give allow you to measure yourself and compare against each designers’ size chart.
The Madeline Isaac-James maternity bridal collection is only available directly from the Madeline Isaac-James boutique (www.madelineisaacjames.com) or from an approved stockist (see www.maternityweddingdress.co.uk and the staff will be able to help advise you on the best size to order from them.

Q: How much experience do you have in providing maternity bridal wear ?
A: Great question (and it's worth also asking this with any other providers that claim to have a wealth of experience!) We have not only been selling maternity wedding dresses since 2002 and have helped over a thousand expectant brides in that time, but we also design our own label collection, so you are assured that we really understand the very specific needs of the expectant bride and how best to help her find her perfect maternity gown. Our philisophy from Day 1 has been the same - we aim to provide you with beautiful gowns and great customer service - we believe that you do not have to compromise on your wedding gown just because you're pregnant. It's a very simple philisophy and one which has stood us in good stead and earned great reviews from the most important people to us - our customers.
