## Who it's for
Brides and bridesmaids planning weddings. The purchase is emotional and time-sensitive — brides are often coordinating multiple bridesmaids across cities and states, balancing colour schemes, sizes, and tight wedding timelines. BMO is for customers who want inclusive sizing, modern designers, and the option to try dresses on at home before committing.

## Positioning / Differentiators
- Award-winning Australian bridesmaid dress retailer
- Inclusive sizing 6–30 AU, with Jenny Yoo extending to 36 AU (32 US) on some styles
- Try Before You Buy with free Express Post Australia-wide
- For made-to-order dresses, all dresses in the same bridal-party order are cut from the same fabric run, eliminating colour variance between bridesmaids
- All dresses are inspected by two separate teams before dispatch

## Sizing / Fitting
- Standard AU sizing: 6–30 (equivalent to US 2–26)
- Jenny Yoo extended: 00–32 US (04–36 AU) depending on style
- Dual notation used (e.g. "6 AU / 2 US")
- Robe sizes: Regular, Curvy, Curvy Plus, Kids Small/Medium/Large

Measuring guidance from BMO:
- Take bust, waist, and hip measurements
- Bust: tape measure under arms, around fullest part
- Waist: bend sideways to find the natural crease, measure around
- Hips: feet together, measure around fullest part
- Don't pull the tape too tight
- If between sizes, choose the larger size to leave room for alterations
- Waist is often the critical determinant
- Alterations are not included; budget approximately $50–$150 for a local seamstress
- It is uncommon for a bridesmaid dress to fit perfectly without alterations — hem shortening, bodice taking-in, and strap adjustments are all normal

## Common Questions
**Q:** How do I know what size to order? **A:** Take bust, waist, and hip measurements and refer to the size chart for the specific designer. If between sizes, go with the larger size — easier to alter down than up. The waist measurement is usually the most important.

**Q:** Will the dress need alterations? **A:** It's very common for bridesmaid dresses to need minor alterations like hemming, taking in the bodice, or adjusting straps. We recommend budgeting $50–$150 for a local seamstress.

**Q:** What sizes do you carry? **A:** Sizes 6–30 AU. Jenny Yoo goes up to 36 AU (32 US) in some styles.

**Q:** How can I see the colour in person before ordering? **A:** Fabric swatches are $1 each, available for the main designers (Jenny Yoo, Tania Olsen, Talia Sarah). Try Before You Buy is also available for $25 per dress.

**Q:** Will all the bridesmaids' dresses match in colour? **A:** Yes — for made-to-order dresses, dresses in the same bridal-party order are cut from the same fabric run, eliminating colour variance.

**Q:** What fabrics are available? **A:** Jenny Yoo: Luxe Chiffon, Luxe Satin, Soft Tulle, Luxe Stretch Velvet. Tania Olsen: Soft Jersey Knit, Light Satin, Charmeuse Satin. Talia Sarah: Luxe Chiffon, Luxe Crepe.

**Q:** How long will my made-to-order dress take? **A:** Up to 18 weeks (TH&TH up to 16 weeks). Order at least 5–6 months before the wedding to allow time for delivery and alterations.

**Q:** Can I rush my order? **A:** Tania Olsen offers a rush option for $50. Contact us with your wedding date and we'll check what's possible.

**Q:** How does Try Before You Buy work? **A:** $25 per dress, sent via free Express Post Australia-wide. Try on for up to 7 days, then return via Australia Post Express. The $25 is credited towards the final dress purchase as a discount code.

**Q:** What if I damage a TBYB dress? **A:** Minor wear and tear is fine. Significant damage, makeup stains, or rips will be assessed and a repair or cleaning fee may be deducted.

**Q:** Can I return my made-to-order dress? **A:** Made-to-order dresses cannot be returned for a refund as they're cut specifically to size and colour. Refunds are issued if the dress is faulty.

**Q:** Can I return a robe or accessory? **A:** Ready-to-ship, non-personalised items can be returned within 30 days if unopened, still sealed in original packaging, and in new condition. Personalised items are not eligible.
