"Your dress. Nobody else's at your school!"
Getting to us from Dorking
About forty-eight miles, about an hour and ten minutes by car. The usual route is the A24, the M25 and the A41, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.
Schools we work with in Dorking
If she is at one of these schools in Dorking, we would be delighted to see her:
- RGS Surrey Hills
- St Teresa's School
- The Ashcombe School
- The Priory Church of England School
One style per school, and it is hers. We sell each style to only one girl at each school. Once it is registered to her school, no other girl there can buy it from us, which is why coming early makes such a difference.
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 Dorking. 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 Dorking families
Is it worth coming from Dorking?
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.
How does the deposit work?
A £99 deposit holds the dress, and the balance can be spread over interest-free instalments, completed before she collects it.
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.
