"Your dress. Nobody else's at your school!"
Getting to us from Maidstone
About seventy miles, about an hour and forty 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 Maidstone
Secondary schools in Maidstone we would love to welcome girls from:
- Cornwallis Academy
- Invicta Grammar School
- Maidstone Grammar School for Girls
- New Line Learning Academy
- OneSchool Global UK - Maidstone Campus
- School of Science and Technology Maidstone
- St Augustine Academy

- The Lenham School
- The Maplesden Noakes School
- Valley Park 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 Maidstone. 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 — styles you will not find in the high-street chains, and never sold twice into the same school.
Questions we are asked by Maidstone 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.
Is it worth coming from Maidstone?
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 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.
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.
