Prom Dresses Hackney

Getting to us from Hackney

About twenty-seven miles, about an hour by car. The usual route is the A1 and the M1, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.

Schools we work with in Hackney

Secondary schools in the borough of Hackney we would love to welcome girls from:

• All Saints Catholic High School
• Beis Malka Girls' School
• Beis Trana Girls' School
• Bnois Jerusalem Girls School
• Cardinal Pole Catholic School
• City of London Academy, Shoreditch Park
• Clapton Girls' Academy
• Haggerston School

One style, one girl, one school. We sell each style to only one girl at each school. The moment a style is registered to her school it is closed to everyone else there — so the earlier she comes, the more she has to choose from.

We are also looking for Prom Ambassadors for 2027: Year 11 and Year 13 girls who love getting ready as much as the night itself. Girls from Hackney are very welcome to apply. 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 in the high-street chains, and never sold twice into the same school.

Questions from families in Hackney

How early should we book?

As early as you can. Each style is sold to only one girl at each school, so the popular ones start closing early in the season.

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.

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.

Is it worth coming from Hackney?

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.
