I had a fantastic experience finding not one, but two wedding dresses with the help of wonderful Cathy. Due to the Lockdowns, I legally married, followed by a blessing a year later. We also found the most… beautiful Bridesmaids dresses at 14 & Sixpence. Cathy was so welcoming and helpful, and I would 100% recommend that everyone should go to 14 & Sixpence to find their special dress 💕
