When shopping for fabric-based or custom-made products, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right colour. But how can you be sure a fabric will look the same in your home as it does on your screen?
That’s where a swatch comes in.
A Simple Way to Colour Match with Confidence
A swatch is a small sample of fabric—the swatch size in our case, 5 x 5 cm—that we send to customers so they can see and feel the material before committing to a full order. It’s a helpful tool to ensure the colour, texture, and overall look of the fabric is just right for your space - and saves any hassle needing to return an order if the colour isn't quite right in the first place.
We cut our swatches from the very same rolls of fabric your order will then be made on, so our swatches are the perfect representation of the colour you'll be ordering.
Why Order a Swatch?
Here are a few reasons why swatches are worth it:
- Accurate Colour Matching: Screens can’t always be trusted. A swatch lets you see the true colour in your own lighting and compare it to the dresses in the same lighting.
- Feel the Fabric: Beyond colour, you get a sense of the texture, weight, and quality of the material. Some people love a matte finish, some like a shine! Getting a swatch lets you get a sense of which you might prefer
- Confident Decisions: Swatches remove the guesswork, helping you place your full order with confidence.
How It Works
Choosing the perfect colour for your bridesmaid dresses is a big decision—and we want to make it as easy as possible. Simply select the colours you’re considering for your dresses, and we’ll send you a 5 x 5 cm swatch of the exact material we use to make our gowns..
Whether you’re colour-matching to a theme, coordinating with other outfits, or just making sure it’s the shade you envisioned, swatches are a simple but essential step in planning your perfect day. Not sure where to start? Our Swatch Packs are designed to give you a starting point in some of our most popular colours!
Got a Dress Sample? We Can Match It
Swatches also work the other way around—you can send a swatch to us. If you already have a fabric you'd like us to match—such as an offcut from a bridesmaid dress, or an official swatch from a bridal boutique—we’re happy to colour match it for you. This is a great option if you're trying to coordinate accessories, ties, flower girl dresses, or other items to perfectly complement your chosen shade. Simply post the fabric sample to us, and we’ll work closely with you to find the closest match from our range.
