"Your dress. Nobody else's at your school!"
Getting to us from Gillingham
About seventy-two miles, about an hour and thirty-five minutes by car. The usual route is the A2, the A282, the M25 and the A1081, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.
Schools we work with in Gillingham
Secondary schools in Gillingham we would love to welcome girls from:
- Brompton Academy
- Leigh Academy Rainham
- Rainham Mark Grammar School
- Rainham School for Girls
- The Robert Napier School
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 Gillingham. Apply to be a Prom Ambassador.
Doing it in one visit
Many girls choose on the day. They come with a rough idea of what they like, try a handful of styles and leave with the dress registered to their school. 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 — dresses you will not see on the high street, and never sold twice into the same school.
Questions we are asked by Gillingham families
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.
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 Gillingham?
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.
How long is the drive?
About seventy-two miles, about an hour and thirty-five minutes by car. The usual route is the A2, the A282, the M25 and the A1081, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.
