Sarah · a city wedding
The perfect dress for our city wedding, something that felt completely right for me.
I wasn't totally sure what kind of style I wanted, but Debbie was incredibly patient and supportive, encouraging me to try on a range of styles, including ones I never would've picked up myself. Thanks to her expert eye and kind guidance, I found the perfect dress for our city wedding. She also helped arrange dry cleaning and recommended an amazing seamstress, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Debbie's warm, friendly approach and genuine care made all the difference.

Lucy · the Bowen Dryden
So unusual, I hadn't seen anything like it.
Debbie was very helpful and made the experience of “saying yes to the dress” very lovely and special for my mum and I. I had seen the Bowen Dryden on Instagram and was instantly in love, it was so unusual, I hadn't seen anything like it. I tried it on first and had pretty much made up my mind, but Debbie encouraged me to try different styles to be sure, as I had the time. This was helpful in knowing I'd chosen the right one!

Our third dress shop while visiting from America, and by far the best experience.
Our third dress shop while visiting from America, and by far the best experience. Debbie was so nice and accommodating and I found the most perfect dress! Thank you Debbie for helping me find THE dress among so many other beautiful ones, and making it such a pleasant and personalized experience for me.

Aurore - flew all the way from France!
The most beautiful dress
That’s it, my wedding is done - it was truly magical, and all thanks to you. I will always remember that special day when I travelled from France to your little shop in London to pick up the dress of my dreams. Thank you again—the most beautiful dress for the most beautiful day of my life ❤️

My absolute dream dress
I am so grateful to Debbie as she found me my absolute dream dress. It was the first one I tried on and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Debbie knew exactly what would suit me and was incredibly patient as I tried on a few others, though I eventually went back to the first one I had tried on, which she had picked out for me. The whole experience from start to finish was great. The shop is spacious and inviting, but also feels intimate and unique, a fabulous place to choose the most important outfit you will ever wear, with your loved ones looking on. Debbie was so helpful in helping me to try on the dresses in front of her fantastic mirror and took lots of photos so I could see myself from all different angles. Don’t hesitate to book your appointment at Debbie’s shop, it really is a fantastic place!

It was important to me to find a dress that wasn’t brand new
I went to see Debbie because it was important to me to find a dress that wasn’t brand new just for a day. Debbie made me and my sisters feel completely at home and we had plenty of time so it didn’t feel rushed and felt so special. I’d just had a baby so it was quite a challenging time to be finding a dress but Debbie has a great eye and really listens and was able to help me find the dress that fit the look of my day and she also helped me envision the finished version. I felt incredible on the day, thank you so much 🙏

‘Just a wonderful experience all round’
Hi Debbie, I just wanted to drop you a message to say a HUGE thank you for helping me find my dream dress for my wedding - I came to visit you with my maid of honour (who also bought from you!) last summer and after picking a dress I never expected, it was so special to watch it become the most perfect dress for the big day. I wanted to thank you so much for making the experience so special. I’m not naturally the most body confident person in the world and never thought wearing a fitted dress would be for me but you made me feel so comfortable and really helped gently encourage me out of my comfort zone. So many people told me how unique it was (especially the back!) and it was just a wonderful experience all round. Thank you so much ❤️

‘Felt like a princess in this stunning dress’
Visiting Debbie was my only experience of wedding dress shopping, one which allowed me to feel comfortable and confident trying on a range of beautiful dresses, but ultimately finding THE most perfect dress for my city wedding. I felt incredibly confident the whole day and felt like a real princess in this stunning dress. Thank you so much! Xxx
