Prom Dresses.
We take the view that the Prom dress should be special but at the same time the dress is likely to be worn only on rare occasions. The perfect prom dress should also be able to be worn at other functions also thus getting value from the purchase. We also see that even though the prom dresses should be special that the cost for this should not be excessive so in our site we do try our best to keep the prices low for the young girls or should i say the parents that generally have the burden of the cost.
Cuts
This is the most important factor about the dress as good quality dresses will always fit in the right places, the attention to this is often
overlooked by companies as they usually will be looking for hanger appeal rather than fit. This is the advantage you have buying online when you
see a dress that is being modeled. Ask yourself this - how many times have you been in a shop and liked the look of something only to try it on
and it fits nothing like you imagined. ( These usually end up in the sale's)
1) Materials
1a) Silk Prom Dresses ~ Fine clingy material with very little stretch this fabric more associated with lingerie is good when used as a floaty
parts of a dress rather than the main body.
1b) Taffeta Prom Dresses ~ More often used in prom dresses or ball gowns, great for the bodice area. This is an expensive looking fabric that has weight to it.
1c) Chiffon Dresses ~ This fabric is lovely when used in Prom dresses It is lightweight likes silk, this material only has any stretch when cut on the bias, Woven high quality fabric and will usually be quite expensive.
3d) Soft touch Prom Dresses ~ Great fabric for dresses as this has so much stretch, this can be patterned, feels great against ladies skin. This fabric is excellent when showing off a ladies figure as dresses can be cut so that they cling. Again different grades available and retailers should be aware that the cheaper versions can also be transparent.
3e) I.T.Y Dresses ~ Poor quality fabric, cheap and nasty avoid at all costs.
3f) Lace Prom Dresses ~ Lace dresses are lovely they usually hang very well and most laces have stretch, also great when you want a prom dress to show off your figure, although try to avoid laces that have been massed produced to reduce costs, these will be used by companies that produce poor quality products.
Prices
It's true what they say "you only get what you pay for" Each company will work to different standards and if you like their standard keep using them. If something is reduced its because the retailer can't sell them, its undesirable or gone out of fashion. If dresses are cheap then they usually will be made cheap, we all want value for money and some less well known companies will charge less for good quality items by cutting profits in order to attract more sales, these are genuinely good value.

Proms have hit the U.K by storms over the last few years and every year girls all over the country hunt high and low for that perfect prom dress. The dresses out their vary widely and the costs charged tend to be sold on local availability. Some small towns the prices can be horrendous as they take advantage of the fact these dresses are quite specialist. The chances are the a prom dress will only ever be worn once for what it is intended for the school prom, the other alternative is to hire your prom dress but to be honest these are nice but limited in style and other girls will have the same thought, so the special prom night ends in 20 girls all dresses the same.. or the other alternative is to choose one from our selection we have here, these are priced with thought that they probably will only be worn once, the quality is still very good but we price them to give the parents a break. Although parents are likely to be stitched up for a limo as well lol.
What we do have here though is always a selection of long exclusive dresses which can also be worn for other elegant events, these are great as you do get to wear them more often.
It is a hard decision to make really, the girls want the best to show off as it were, but how far do you go with a dress as you could spend hundreds if not thousands of pounds, so we took the stance with the prom dress range to bring dresses that look more expensive than they are priced here and to be fair even the dresses in the hand of most boutiques would be charge 3-4 time as much for. The prom dresses here could also be worn on cruises, balls, or dinner dances also.
The fabrics in our prom dresses are lovely, often with silk or chiffon or soft satin.
It is also an idea if ladies have bridesmaids that the dresses could be worn for this purpose also. Just call us if you would like more details.
Why we are different and why would ladies buy their dresses here?
Firstly Ladies clothing is our business with a woman designer and a woman buyer that has experience in making clothes, what you get is the benefit of her knowledge whether a tops is really unique or is properly made. Its also that the dresses are great value for money. Did you know that the majority of ladies clothing business especially the high street is run by men? its strange but how can a man know how a dress or top really feels like to wear (unless lol), or what a woman really wants, so this store really gives a girl another alternative.
