"Just wanted to follow up to say thanks so much to everybody at Dig for Victory on my dress! It was absolutely beautiful and was so comfortable to wear on the day and really feel like I hit the jackpot with finding your shop, so sad I don't have a (good) excuse to wear it again!"

"I wanted to say a massive, massive thank you to you all at Dig For Victory for my incredible wedding dress. From the moment I saw the designs online I just knew this would be the right place for me, and every step of the way was an absolute joy, from trying on, to design, fitting and ultimately receiving my dream dress.
I got so many compliments on the day and - most importantly - felt a million dollars as I walked through the streets of East London and down the aisle to my love."

"I had a really clear idea what I wanted and couldn't find it anywhere in the shops. Dig for Victory were able to make my dream dress a reality - I had a custom fabric and design and they worked really closely with me to get it perfect. The finished dress was so beautiful and I felt amazing on the day. Thanks so much!"

"All of our guests loved my dress, literally everyone complimented my dress and asked me where I have got this from! Even a random guest who stayed at the venue asked who designed this beautiful dress as he works in a wedding industry traveling all over the world. I am so honored to have such an amazing dress from you.

It is not only lovely but timeless, I am hoping one day my daughter might wear it on her wedding day!

Thank you so much for making me such a beautiful dress. I really felt like I was Jenny in the film Forrest Gump, like I have dreamt of since I was little!"

Jemima

"From the second I saw an advert for your dresses on Facebook, I knew you were the way to go for my big day, and walking through the door for the first time really confirmed that. Your tiny shop is so full of love, and I felt like I was immediately among friends, which was extra important as I had to attend my final fitting on my own. Every extra request I made, a short time frame, and bridesmaids who couldn't attend fittings (one didn't arrive into the country until the day before the wedding!) nothing was too much trouble and I couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Every piece was perfect, I felt amazing in my dress, and it even withstood a trip around a funfair in the middle of our big day!"

"I cannot rate Eleanor highly enough! She was so helpful with creating my wedding dress, working through various ideas and giving advice on colours, fabrics and styles. Compared to other places I visited to find a wedding dress Dig for Victory was the most down to earth, genuinely helpful store that I visited where I felt like they actually cared about finding the right dress for the day. The dress fitted beautifully when I collected it and I can't wait to wear it on the big day! Thanks Eleanor for all your help!! I'm sure I will be back at some point to fill up the rest of my wardrobe with some of your beautiful designs."

"Just wanted to send you a quick note to say a huge 'Thank You!' for the beautiful wedding dress you made for me. Everyone loved it, most especially me:) It was also the most comfortable dress I've ever worn, which was just the icing on the cake. 

I also absolutely adore the other two linen dresses from you, which I wore to two other summer weddings, and felt so proud & beautiful in them. Thank you so much for making such lovely things for all shapes and sizes, it meant the world to me, and I have no doubt to many, many other women as well." (pics: Savo Photography)

"I had my wedding dress made there when I couldn’t find anything in other bridal shops. I wanted a simple pencil dress and a nod to vintage but wanted it to be a bit special and wedding like. The team were so helpful in putting together a style for me and creating something completely unique. And they managed to have some of my Pinterest dream fabric, a polka dot tulle which they overlaid on a silk fabric to create that special wedding dress I had in my head. The dress fitted me beautifully and I felt I’d found the right dress for me."

"I absolutely love my dress! It was perfect for my wedding day. I had it shortened to just below the knee (instead of tea length) and I added the extra fee to custom make the dress. The measurements were perfect and I did not need to tailor it at all. Dig For Victory's customer service was amazing (I contacted them several times with questions and they were incredibly quick to respond - they also caught an error in measurements!). I had tons of compliments at the wedding and a number of people ask for the shop's information!" photo credit: @maryarcuniphoto
