"Your dress. Nobody else's at your school!"
Getting to us from Wellingborough
About forty-eight miles, about an hour and a quarter by car. The usual route is the A509 and the M1, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.
Schools we work with in Wellingborough
The secondary schools in Wellingborough whose girls we would like to hear from:
- Manor School
- Sir Christopher Hatton Academy
- Weavers Academy
- Wellingborough School
- Wollaston School
- Wrenn 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 Wellingborough. 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 — dresses you will not see on the high street, and never sold twice into the same school.
What Wellingborough families ask us
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.
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-eight miles, about an hour and a quarter by car. The usual route is the A509 and the M1, then the A414 into Hemel Hempstead.
Is it worth coming from Wellingborough?
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.
