Highly recommended
5Really happy!
5I found THE ONE! And felt like an absolute princess ! It was a great experience that I highly recommend it just adds a little more magic to your special day
Terrible experience
1We’re sad to hear that you were unhappy on your 2nd visit. We assume you enjoyed your 1st visit as you chose to return. You had booked online into our Marble Suite which can seat the bride plus 3 guests, which is set out on our website & in your email confirmation. There is no room for a further seated guest. If you had let us know in advance that you wanted to bring more guests, we could’ve moved your appointment to our VIP room which can seat more guests. However on the day you attended we were fully booked so we could not move you. On trying your fave dress from your 1st try on, one of your guests declared that it was not the dress as she personally did not like it. We expressed our sadness at this & explained that the more people you bring, the more conflicting opinions you have which can be confusing. We often discuss this during appointments & on social media & was not meant to be a criticism. We’re sorry that you took this the wrong way & we hope you have an amazing wedding

Be careful how you pay!
1Chameleon Alterations is a separate company to Chameleon Bride, so if you do buy a dress here and then decide to use their alterations service, I would strongly advise everyone to pay for these with a credit card so that you have the protection of Section 75 to fall back on if things go wrong - things went horribly wrong for me as I left with a dress that was unwearable.
Chameleon refused to take any accountability and then ghosted me after I requested a refund.
The bank upheld my Section 75 claim very quickly, as I had the evidence needed to support it, and I received a financial settlement through them.
My experience with Chameleon was ultimately very distressing.
We’re sad to see this review. When you attended your final fitting with us you said how happy you were & signed our form to approve all your alterations. You left with a huge smile & had a dress collection picture shared on Insta which shows you beaming. After the wedding you emailed on 1 Oct to say that you had been unhappy & went elsewhere to have further alts. We responded on 5 Oct expressing our disappointment that you did not mention this at your final fit or give us the opportunity to do any further alts you wanted. We’re therefore confused that you say we ghosted you. We had nothing to do with the s75 claim as this is between you & the credit card co. so we could not submit our own evidence. It’s saddening that you’re now very vocal about your unhappiness by leaving us negative reviews here/elsewhere, but could not seem to express it prior to your wedding. If you raised it then, we could’ve easily made any further alts you wanted. Reviews such as this are just devastating to us

Awful experience
2Sadly, I will be asking another bridal shop to help me find my dress.
