Terms & Conditions


AB TAILORED & AB BRIDAL


BESPOKE and ‘ENQUIRY ONLY’ ITEMS


‘Enquiry only’ means that items may not be bought directly from the website. They are made uniquely for each customer using fabrics and trimmings of their choice. This process usually takes between 6 – 8 weeks and involves an initial meeting to discuss designs, customizations, fabrics and trimmings etc.

The designs you see here on the website are by no means the limit to what can be produced. If you have an idea we are more than happy to discuss this with you and create something utterly unique for you.

Otherwise, the Tailored and Bridal Collections are fully customizable, if you would like an extra inner pocket or a digitally printed lining featuring an image of your choice or whatever else you heart desires, we will try to accommodate you.

A quotation will be made by email after the initial design meeting, accompanied by design drawings, measurements (as taken during the initial meeting) and where possible fabric swatches. If you are happy to proceed at this stage a 50% deposit should be made, either in cash, by online banking, or by cheque.

We will send you receipt for your records.

A fitting will take place at an appropriate stage of the production process and will be arranged by email or telephone with you. This can either be at ABTailored near Colchester, or at a mutually convenient location within a 65 mile radius (approx.). Locations beyond this will incur an additional charge for travel (16p per mile).

If any further fittings are required, this can also be arranged, but may incur a small additional cost.

The completed order will be delivered to you by arrangement. This can either be in person, by courier or could be picked up from our studio in Boxted, near Colchester.

Final payment should be sent either in cash, by online banking, or by cheque to complete the transaction. Once again a receipt will be sent to you by email.

We sincerely hope that you will be entirely satisfied, or even better, delighted with your bespoke order. If for any reason, you are not, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss the matter.

If this is the case that you are delighted with the item whether Tailored or Bridal, please tell us, and if it is okay with you we would love to use your comments on our website as testimonial, (even better with pictures!)
