Getting to us from Rochester

About sixty-three miles, about an hour and a half 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 Rochester

Secondary schools in Rochester we would love to welcome girls from:

  • Gad's Hill School
  • King's School, Rochester
  • Leigh Academy Hundred of Hoo
  • Leigh Academy Strood
  • Maritime Academy
  • Rochester Independent College
  • St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School
  • The Rochester Grammar School
  • The Thomas Aveling 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 Rochester are very welcome to apply. 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 Rochester families

Is it worth coming from Rochester?

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 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.

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.
