Beautifully made, incredibly comfortable shoes — perfect for my wedding day. As a more mature bride, comfort was a top priority, and these tick every box. A small delivery hiccup was quickly resolved with excellent communication, even outside office hours. Highly recommended!

Great customer service & returns
Bought a lovely dress from them. The dress was clearly well made with good quality, just didn't suit what I was looking for.
However their customer service was very responsive and quickly expedited the returns process!

Hi Louise,
I am sorry to hear that you were not completely happy with the packaging of your order. We pride ourself on the care taken when packaging all our lovely pieces so this is disappointing to hear.
Your comment will be taken seriously and looked into. Please do get in contact if you would like us to replace any packaging, we can certainly arrange this for you.

I really like the unique idea of having all of the something old, something new etc all in one shoe.
I ordered pre-loved Mia heels with markings on the sole, I didn't really mind it. Shoe still feels well-made, and sturdy and comfortable.
I was just a little bit disappointed I didn't get my something borrowed with it as it didn't come with the envelope with the return address but not a big deal at all. x

Hi Nira,
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing to shop with us in our Pre-Loved Outlet, we're so pleased to hear you love the design of the Mia heels and found them comfortable and well-made.
We’re really sorry that your ‘something borrowed’ envelope was missed from your order. That absolutely should have been included, and we understand your disappointment. We've popped one in the post to you today, so it should be with you very soon.
We're also truly grateful you chose to shop in our Pre-Loved Outlet. By giving these beautiful shoes a second life, you're helping to reduce waste and prevent perfectly good footwear from going to landfill, a small choice with a big environmental impact, and one we’re so passionate about.
Thank you again for your support it means the world to us.
Best wishes, Team CM x
An Absolutely Amazing Experience
An Absolutely Amazing Experience
As an older bride, I still wanted to feel glamorous on my wedding day—and Charlotte Mills made that dream come true. I purchased a stunning sequin dress that fit beautifully and was crafted with such quality and care. I truly felt like a million dollars and received so many compliments throughout the day. Thank you, Charlotte Mills, for helping me feel so special!

Sent the wrong sleeves completely different style and material I waited quite a while for them as well!
Can’t get through to customer service at all just go around and around in an automated loop then it cuts off.
Not good enough to be honest I am really disappointed and frustrated with this company!
Also there is apparently a £5.99 charge to return something I mean this is insane 😂😂😂
I am literally sick of crap customer service and people’s error with parcel and they won’t and do not want to take accountability for their error

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience.
We completely understand your frustration, especially after waiting for your order and then receiving the wrong item. As a small team, we do our very best to ensure every order is sent out accurately and on time, but during particularly busy periods, mistakes can unfortunately happen. That said, this shouldn’t have been your experience, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
It looks like your order has now been refunded, and we hope this has at least brought some resolution. We also want to acknowledge your frustration around the returns fee. This has been introduced due to a growing number of customers ordering multiple items to try on at home, which we fully understand is part of the online shopping process, we want everyone to find their perfect fit! However, with the rising cost of postage and the manual time involved in processing returns, we, like many other retailers such as H&M and Zara, have had to implement a small fee when items are returned for a refund.
We’re genuinely sorry again for the inconvenience you’ve experienced and appreciate your feedback. We wish you all the very best on your wedding journey and hope your special day is everything you dreamed of.
Best wishes, Team CM x

Good luck with finding your dream second dress! If there's a CM one that's taken your fancy, I'd love for you to check your emails. We've sent you a little thank you for leaving such a wonderful review.
With love,
The Charlotte Mills Team
Pearl straps are massive & came broken
Pearl straps are massive so makes the overall shoe size too big, one also turned up broken. Awaiting a response from customer service one week later.

Hi Lauren,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about the issues with your shoes. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been — especially when you're counting on everything being perfect.
We're glad to see you've now been in touch with our customer service team, and we’re so sorry for the delay in responding. As a small team, we always do our best to reply promptly, but on this occasion, your original message was unfortunately missed — and for that, we sincerely apologise.
Please rest assured we’re now looking into this for you and will do everything we can to make things right. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Perfect dresses, amazing quality and fit. Thank you for existing!!
I tried on so many other short wedding dresses from other more well known retailers and I am so, so happy I found Charlotte Mills! Delivery was perfect, quality of everything is perfect and I even ended up buying my wedding shoes from them too after seeing how they looked, (also super comfortable!). I messaged the team a couple times and they were so helpful and quick to respond! I will now forever reccomend CM to anyone!

Sent wrong dress, poor customer service!
Ordered a dress from Charlotte Mills for my Hen Do as they looked amazing. Unfortunately, they sent completely the wrong style of dress. I didn't have the time to exchange the dress for the one I wanted so returned it. I understand having to pay a fee for postage/packaging but having to wait 10 days for a refund, especially after an error from the company is extremely frustrating. Still awaiting for my money to be returned and received no apology or recognition from the company for them messing up my order.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're so sorry to hear about your experience, especially as we know how important every detail is in the lead-up to your Hen Do.
We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive the wrong dress and not have time to exchange it. Please accept our sincere apologies for the error and the inconvenience caused.
Regarding the delay in your refund, we're truly sorry for any added frustration this has caused. Our returns and refund process is automated, and once we process the return on our end, the speed of the refund reaching your account is largely dependent on your bank’s processing times. That said, we absolutely understand that this delay, especially following a mistake on our part, has been disappointing.
We’re grateful you brought this to our attention, and your feedback has been shared with the team so we can ensure better communication and service moving forward.
Thank you again, and we hope we’ll have the chance to offer you a better experience in the future.
With love, Charlotte and Team x
Beautiful shoes but poor customer service
Beautiful shoes but poor customer service. We ordered my wedding shoes in February when they were showing as in stock. After a week with no contact, we got in touch for an update and were told that the shoes weren’t actually in stock so we would have to wait for them to be made in Spain, and we were given a delivery date of early April.
As that date passed with no contact, we got in touch again to be told there had been a delay and we were given another date 1 week later. That date passed, so we got in touch AGAIN and were given yet another date 1 week later. The shoes then finally were shipped and delivered.
Throughout the whole process, we were NEVER contacted first by the company to inform us of a delay and we had to chase them.
When we tried to complain we were told there were only 4 members of staff in the company so a complaint wouldn’t make a difference.
If the company reached out to us and apologised when they knew the shoes wouldn’t be reaching us on time, we would have been completely understanding but this never happened.
The shoes are beautiful (albeit a little too wide for my feet but I have solved this with an insole) but purely on the poor customer service, I wouldn’t recommend Charlotte Mills to future brides.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and we're so pleased that despite your experience, you do love your CM shoes. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations and want to assure you that your concerns have been taken seriously by Charlotte..
As a small, independent business, we pride ourselves on offering a personal and thoughtful service, and it’s always difficult to hear when we haven’t quite got things right.
In this case, the delay you experienced was due to unforeseen production and transport issues that were unfortunately outside of our control. The team tirelessly chased the order with DHL, multiple times a day, for updates, and unfortunately we weren't updated by the shipping company. Meaning that we didn't have any information to update our brides. That said, we completely understand how frustrating it must have been, and we’re genuinely sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Please know that your feedback has been taken on board and will be used to help us improve moving forward. We really appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Wishing you all the best for your wedding day.
With love, Charlotte and Team x
Excellent customer service
I have been looking for the perfect evening wedding dress and found the Bimba by Charlotte Mills. As it was no longer being sold online, I contacted Charlotte Mills customer service and received a response instantly! Siobhan has been so helpful from start to finish, including helping me exchange the original dress for a different size! The dress itself is absolutely stunning too! Can’t recommend Charlotte Mills enough!

Absolutely stunning
Absolutely stunning. I saw the Natalia shoes on Google and fell in love with them straight away but was unsure due to the price. My fiancé bought them for me and I am so pleased he did. The package received is such a lovely experience. Beautiful packaging materials and so many nice little touches. As for the shoes, you really get what you pay for. Such beautiful shoes. Would highly recommend to any future brides.
