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.
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 Newham. 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 on the high street, and never sold twice into the same school.
What Newham families ask us
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.
How long is the drive?
About forty-one miles, a little over an hour by car. The usual route is the A114, the M11, the M25 and the A1081, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.
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.
