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!

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.
