Yes that's what we do :) We also don't mind if you use our dresses for a baby shower or any other use as long as it's returned in the same way it has been received. Just remember these dresses are all PROPS and not high end evening wear, you cannot expect a brand new dress with gold trimmings they are generally used for photoshoots.

Have a scroll through the website all available dresses will be listed there and we usually add some new additions on a weekly basis.

Measurements has been added to each dress in their description area should you not be coming in for a fitting appointment.

Is it possible to come in for a Fitting appointment?

Please make use of the below link for fitting appointments. We do not have a showroom and anything/everything we do works hand in hand with the Website's schedule. When we try to do a favour it usually bites us in the butt and messes up this tight boat we are sailing so please do not ask for special requests we won't be able to bend the rules.

We do not offer a walk in option and only have fitting appointments available from Tuesday to Thursday when most of our dresses are in stock.

When placing a booking for a fitting please do not book dresses with your order, come for your fitting first, choose your dress and then place your booking.
