Prom dresses in the 1950s were soft and romantic, in general, throughout its length, with a soft and romantic yet innocent look. Cap sleeves, satin waistbands, lace, bodices and frilly frocks sleeve lantern represents beauty and femininity. Later, several styles emerged more extravagant, as gaucho pants, bolero jackets, and other fashions look like harem skirt with the balloon, all inspired by Hollywood.

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.
