Lovely experience. The sales assistant was very friendly and made us feel welcome. It was a very relaxed experience as we were left to look round by ourselves and was never felt rushed.

My daughter had a lovely experience choosing her prom dress. It was busy but it didn’t stop her having a great experience. The staff we all very friendly and helpful. She tried on some amazing dresses and the dress she bought was actually one that one of the staff had picked out for her and encouraged her to try on even though she wasn’t sure. She is now very excited for prom. Thank you Ivy Blu
