By now, most of us have developed a cautious relationship with online fashion. We've been burned before - by a misleading neckline, a suspiciously sheer back panel, or a size "medium" that apparently moonlights as an infant’s nightgown. So when a brand like Pretty Lavish enters the chat - armed with gauzy dresses, a founder story, and mild promises of "elevated essentials" - the smarter among us raise an eyebrow before adding anything to our cart.
That said, Pretty Lavish doesn’t seem particularly interested in over-hyping itself. The brand’s tone is restrained, the colour palette neutral, and the silhouettes familiar in a way that suggests they’ve looked at your Pinterest board - and then offered you a 10% discount just for acknowledging them. Not revolutionary, but not offensive either. Just... pleasingly competent.
Pretty Lavish operates with a sense of occasion: bridesmaid gowns, wedding guest attire, and office-ready separates that wouldn’t look out of place at an architect’s leaving drinks. Items like the Kiara Halterneck Maxi Dress (£95) or the Constance Ruffle Maxi (£95) are structured without being starchy, often leaning into draped shoulders or practical ruching that flatters without begging for compliments.
The pricing sits in a zone best described as "affordable if you’re employed and bored." Most items fall between £60 and £95, which puts them in the upper tier of fast fashion, or the lower rungs of capsule investing. Whether that feels reasonable depends on your tolerance for viscose blends and next-day regret. But to their credit, the reviews (1,984 and counting) skew positive without sounding like they were written under duress.
For the savvy coupon collector - and if you're reading this, you likely are - there are modest rewards in store. First-time customers get 10% off if they sacrifice their inbox via newsletter signup. Orders over £150 qualify for free standard UK delivery, which is rare but not mythical. Students are tossed a bone with a student discount scheme, and there’s an ongoing "Donate for Discount" initiative that swaps charitable acts for percentage cuts. It’s not aggressive discounting, but it is quietly effective.
As for shipping, Pretty Lavish offers standard UK delivery at £3.95 (free over £150), or £5.95 for next-day service - as long as you catch the cut-off by 2pm, Monday to Thursday. They’re candid about dispatch delays and bank holiday black holes, which is a refreshing nod to realism in an industry more prone to promising everything by tomorrow. Returns are straightforward, though not free - so try not to treat your order like a dressing room with free postage.
Head to the site’s "Styled by You" section and you’ll find exactly what you expect: trim guests at summer weddings, stylised brunchers, and the occasional dog doing a better job of modelling chiffon than any of us managed in 2020. The customer photos confirm the brand’s particular strength–dresses that look pulled together but don’t require actual effort. The kind of thing that flutters convincingly in a breeze but folds flat in a suitcase.
Some pieces do look oddly familiar - like they may have been reborn from a Zara silhouette that saw too much action on Instagram. And there’s the occasional detail that feels tacked on: a midi hemline that isn’t quite sure of its endgame, or a cut-out that sits an inch too optimistically. But overall, the execution is more "this is a safe choice" than "I need three returns labels."
Pretty Lavish doesn’t reinvent much. What it does do, however, is serve a focused, decently constructed collection of event-ready pieces that won’t sabotage your photos or bank account. It’s not shouting for your attention, which might be the best pitch of all. And if you're heading to your sixth wedding of the year and have a dinner reservation after - their Joely Contrast Maxi (£82) might just get you through both with minimal fabric-related crises.
What you’re buying here isn’t groundbreaking style. You’re buying some time back. One less panic scroll at 11:30pm. One fewer £170 panic-dress in your returns pile. One added layer of plausible elegance for a social season you didn’t plan for - but now, somehow, have to dress for.
And sometimes, that’s genuinely enough.
