Is Needle & Thread worth it? What to check before you buy
Needle & Thread puts its money into decoration, so judge each piece on three things the product page tells you.
Fabric. Most styles are polyester-based tulle, mesh and satin, which is what keeps the sequins and crystals light enough to wear for a whole evening. The exact composition is listed on every product page.
Lining. Gowns are usually lined through the bodice, and some skirts and sleeves are left sheer on purpose. Check the lining note if you want full coverage.
Where it is made. Each product page names the country of manufacture. Across the styles we carry, that is India for most pieces and China for the rest.
Store embellished pieces flat in tissue so the weight of the beading does not pull the shoulders out of shape.
Sizing
Needle & Thread publishes one body chart for its whole range. Coveti lists every piece in UK sizes 4 to 18. Choose by bust for fitted bodices and by hip for straight skirts. Dress lengths are measured on a 168 cm model, so allow for your own height.

Bridal, bridesmaids and wedding guests
For brides, the wedding dress edit gives you embellishment without a couture timeline. For bridesmaids, the same gown often comes in several colours across the full size run, so a party can match the style and vary the shade. For guests, choose a colour away from white and ivory, and save the heaviest sequins for an evening reception. Our guide to the best wedding guest dresses has more ideas.
