Testimonials

  • Lovely staff, all very helpful and friendly. Staff know their dresses and you can just explain a style and they pick out the exact dress. Fantastic range of dresses and loved the overall experience. My mum bought her wedding dress from here in 1991 and then my nan bought her dress from here in 1993 and now I get to buy my dress from here too!

    Emily
  • I had the best day yesterday! It was my second time coming back to the shop, the ladies were amazing and got me to try on a dress that I wasn’t even thinking of, turns out the staff knew my style better than me!! I’m so happy with the service and can not wait to go back and have my dress fitting!

    Steph
  • Lovely, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Even though I’m on the bigger side they had lots of dresses for me to try on. Lena was my consultant and she was fab! Knew the stock well and what sort of dresses would flatter my shape.

    Tracey
  • Best experience of my life. The staff were so amazing and welcoming and honestly couldn’t do enough to help me find my dream dress which I did!

    Jordanna Hughes
  • No words explain how amazing Michelle made me feel about my body when trying on the dresses as I’m very body conscious. She made me feel beautiful in the dresses and we had so much fun and laughter!
    I came here 4 years ago with my sister , and know I will return in the future with my little girl when it is her turn

    Hannah Briggs
