Evenings and Sundays are available by appointment


Yes, we offer hemming and strap alterations in our barn store for no additional fee. It is all part of the service. If your dress needs any structural changes (eg changing a zip back to a corset back) then these are usually chargeable


Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Ideally the sort of underwear that you would typically wear under a posh frock, so maybe bring a strapless bra too if you usually opt to wear them, depending on type of dress. Also it is really handy to bring a pair of shoes that are the heel height you usually wear so we can get your dress length right


You are very welcome to come alone for some peaceful browsing or make an event of it and bring family / friends with you, there is plenty of room. Your guests can enjoy comfy sofa's and cold drinks to relax whilst they help you choose your perfect dress


Yes, we have plenty of free on-site parking


Yes, we keep a record of all dresses sold to each customer from each school to ensure you are uniquely beautiful


Please email or WhatsApp us with pictures and we will then arrange a time for you to bring your dress. All dresses must be professionally cleaned (see recommended suppliers for dry-cleaner) and professionally packaged. As long as there is no damage or dirt, we will price it up with you and have it back on the rails in our worn once range in no time. Once your dress has re-sold, we will contact you and transfer your 50% share straight into your bank


You can either take your dress away the same day if it doesn't need any alterations or arrange to pick it up at a convenient time if you would rather that we store it for you, in the run up to your event. We like to do wedding dress fittings right up until the big day to get it just right. If you are unsure about a dress we will hold it back for a few hours if you want to pop to one of our favourite coffee shops to think about it or we can hold it overnight for 24 hours with no charge. For times longer than that we will ask for a £25-50 deposit, depending on the value of the dress, for a maximum of 7 days, which can be put back towards the cost of the dress if you purchase, or forfeited if you decide not to


We accept card or cash. We do not accept American Express, our apologies


We cater for sizes 4-34. Your budget for prom is £250-395 and for bridal £350 to £1595


We are stockists of Serene by Madi Lane, Romantica of Devon,  Enchanting by Mon Cheri, House of Nicholas and British Bridal for wedding gowns and stockists of Angel Forever & Gino Cerruti for prom gowns
