Come and lock your dress for prom night. We sell each style to only one girl at each school. Once a style is registered to your school it is closed to everyone else there, which is why the girls who come early have the most to choose from.

Every year we look for Prom Ambassadors — girls in Year 11 and Year 13 who love the whole business of getting ready and want to be part of ours. Applications for 2027 are open now, and we would be delighted to hear from girls in Colchester. Apply to be a Prom Ambassador.

Doing it in one visit

Plenty of girls do the whole thing in a single visit. They arrive knowing roughly what they are looking for, try on a handful and choose on the day. Where it suits, we can also look at sending the dress to you by secure courier rather than you making the journey back for it — it is worth asking your stylist about at the fitting. Alterations would then be arranged locally.

The 2027 collection

Hundreds of exclusive styles, sizes 4XS to 14W, from £199. Ball gowns, fitted and mermaid, A-line, sequin and embellished, satin and couture — styles you will not find on the high street, and never sold twice into the same school.

Questions we are asked by Colchester families

What if she needs the dress altering?

Alterations are booked as a separate short appointment. If the dress is sent to you by courier instead, alterations are arranged locally.

Can we do everything in one trip?

Often, yes. Many girls choose on the day, and where it suits we can look at sending the dress on by secure courier — ask your stylist at the fitting. Alterations would then be arranged locally.

Is it worth coming from Colchester?

If she wants a style no other girl at her school can buy from us, yes. We sell each style to only one girl at each school, a promise very few shops make.

Do we need an appointment?

Yes. Appointments are free and last an hour, one-to-one with a stylist, so she has the stylist’s full attention for the whole visit.
