Where do the dresses come from?

Some dresses are sourced pre-loved from kind-hearted former brides who donate their dresses; but over 95% of our stock is new and comes from designers and bridal shops when they change their stock over at the end of the season. Many are ex-catwalk and are in mint condition.

How can Oxfam help me find the perfect dress?

To make the most of your visit, please call the shop beforehand to make an appointment and feel free to ask questions about the sizes and styles available. When you visit, a trained assistant will be on hand to help you (with no hard sell!), and you will be able to view and try on the dresses in comfort. Some departments can also advise on alterations.

What else can Oxfam offer for my wedding?

As well as wedding dresses, we can help with accessories, shoes, bridesmaids’ dresses and outfits for the mother of the bride.

How much do the dresses cost?

The average cost of an Oxfam wedding dress is around £250, and we aim to pitch our prices at about 30 per cent of what you would pay on the high street. Some dresses originally cost £1000 or more, so you can buy the dress of your dreams for much less than you would expect.
