Frequently asked questions
How do I order a wedding dress?
Order your DAMA wedding dress through a partner boutique. You can find boutiques by country and region on our Boutiques page.
Your boutique helps you choose a model and size, explains the next steps and places your order with DAMA.
If you need help finding a partner boutique, contact us.
Do authorised retailers carry all styles shown in the catalogue?
No boutique keeps a whole collection in every size. Each one selects the gowns that suit its brides.
The boutique availability section on a dress page shows where you can enquire about that model. Contact the boutique before your visit to confirm which dresses are available to try on.
Contact the boutique before your visit to confirm which models are available to try. Let them know which dresses interest you.
Can I order a wedding dress online?
No, and that is a deliberate choice. Finding your dress deserves a mirror, an unhurried afternoon and someone who knows how the gown will behave on you.
We do not authorise anyone to sell our wedding dresses over the internet. A dress offered under the DAMA Couture name outside our boutiques carries no guarantee from us — neither of authenticity nor of quality.
How can I find out how much my dream dress costs?
Ask the boutique nearest you. Prices are set by each authorised retailer and differ between regions, so only they can give you the exact figure — together with the cost of alterations and any modifications you would like.
When should I order my wedding dress?
Nine to twelve months before the wedding. That leaves time to sew the gown, deliver it to your boutique and do the alterations without haste.
Almost every dress needs some fitting work: hemming, taking in the seams, shortening the straps, adding a bustle to the train.
When can I expect a new collection?
Once a year. We present the new collection in August, before brides start looking for gowns for the following season.
There is no authorised retailer in my area. What can I do?
Ask your local bridal boutique to write to us. We take on new retailers every year and the selection is careful — a boutique has to treat brides the way we do, honestly and without pressure.
Would you share my wedding pictures?
We would love to, with your permission. Send your photographs and the photographer's details to hello@damacouture.pl
Pictures of your day are the reason we do this.
What sizes do you offer?
We make dresses in all sizes. A 10% surcharge applies to curvy styles from EU size 48.
Our Size guide lists bust, waist and hip measurements for every size. If you fall between two, write to hello@damacouture.pl and we will advise.
What does DAMA mean?
Dama means a lady in Polish. To us it means more than the word.
A Dama knows who she is and what she is capable of. She steps outside her comfort zone when she needs to. She makes room for herself and welcomes others into it. She follows her heart rather than the rules she was handed.
She is honest, intelligent, playful and ambitious. She chooses quality over quantity and is selective about what surrounds her.
Wherever she comes from, she deserves respect, love and a dress made with the same care she gives everything else.
What does that mean for the dress?
That it is cut for a real body and a long day, not for a single photograph. That the seams hold when you dance. That the fabric behaves when you sit down for dinner.
And that you are treated as a Dama from the first fitting to the last.
