Beautiful dress
Beautiful dress. A bit more than I would normally pay but totally worth it. Delivery was fast as a bonus. Highly recommended!

Nice dress
Nice dress. Amazing fabric. True size. Good quality. The color doesn't look like the picture. Looks like apricot/ peach color but not true nude. I will keep it, because I paid an extra fee tax for UK— Europe delivery and no free return.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the delivery of your parcel. We appreciate your patience and cooperation throughout the process. After investigating the issue with Royal Mail and Canadian Post, we learned that there was a fault on the Canadian Post side, which was out of our hands, leading to the absence of a delivery card. We have addressed this matter with both courier services to prevent such incidents in the future. We're pleased to hear that you were able to pick up your package using the provided delivery card number. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we are continually working to improve our delivery processes. If you have any further concerns or if there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team directly.
Sizings all off
I ordered a midi dress in my size but when it arrived the dress came to my ankles and was far too small around the waist. Bought this for a friend's wedding and now I'm going to have to pay for a return, wait for a refund, and then buy something else which is a really tight turn around.
I'm not a short person, I'm taller than most of the people I know so I don't know how a midi fits like a maxi, especially when the dress had a maxi version.
Not a fan of having to pay for tracked returns when the reason I'm returning it is because the sizings of the dress are wrong advertised. Wouldn't shop again because of this.

So disappointed, won't be shopping here again
I loved the look of several dresses on the website and wanted to place an order so I registered by email address to receive the 10% discount off my first order. I submitted my email address and received a welcome email but there was no discount code on the email. I then emailed customer service but over 2 weeks later I still hadn't received had a response (and to this date I still haven't). I've since tried with a different email and received the same welcome email, again with no discount code.
I subsequently placed an order anyway because I really wanted to try the dresses and was so disappointed to find that even though both dresses I ordered were the same size, one fit perfectly and the other one looked as though it was 3 sizes too small and a really cheap feeling dress anyway (which was shocking because of the price of it!). I was then annoyed to find I had to pay for tracked postage to return the dress.
This is the first and last time I'll be using Lace and Beads. I just wish I'd read the reviews first and I would've realised not to bother in the first place.

The dress was lovely well made
The dress was lovely well made, but the length was too long and I had to have it shortened. The dress was expensive for what it was. Delivery was quick, I paid extra for express 24 delivery. They should do it in different
Lengths. I would definitely buy from lace and bead again.

Outstandig beautiful dress
Good quality, beautiful colour, excellent length, I'm 1,76 m and 70 kg. Ordered a size 14, just because I was worried a size 12 would be too short. A bit loose around the top, but I will keep it anyway!
As I live in Switzerland I had to pay taxes. Just keep that in mind, should you live outside the UK.

Overall fairly good
I have to say, Lace&Beads have been fantastic with numerous orders to try and find the right sizes and styles of bridesmaid dresses. The delivery has been fast, the returns have also been quick to be processed. Though you do have to pay for tracked delivery to return each time and they recommend insurance on top, so it does cost to return. Also, most dresses have come with some detailing issues e.g. beads missing, but they do provide a bag of beads. Zips could be better but most are fine. Definitely size up would be my advice! Overall, would recommend if you there is something from there that you really want.

Difficult returns process
The dresses were okay and parcel arrived on time. Bought two sizes of one dress type and kept one, returned the other one. The other dress type I bought was an odd size - too small in some areas and too big in others.
Customers have to organise and pay for tracked return delivery themselves to be able to return items - I wouldn't rush to order again from here because of this. When buying expensive occasion dresses that seem to vary so much in size, it should be easier to return items when they don't fit.

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the delay in your delivery. The holiday season and current circumstances in Israel have posed unexpected challenges.
Deliveries to Israel are particularly affected, with delays due to numerous flight cancellations. The situation is dynamic and may change at short notice. We understand this may be inconvenient and appreciate your patience.
Our estimated delivery times (3-5 days for Europe, 5-7 days for non-European destinations) are impacted by a backlog. Customs clearance adds extra days, but our team is actively expediting processing to minimize delays.
We appreciate your understanding during these challenging times.
