My wife D wanted an outfit for our Sons wedding and Dawn was simply superb. Do found the perfect outfit and cant wait for the wedding. Dawn was amazing with her advice on accessories. I thought we would be in there for hours but D was sorted in no time at all. Thank you Dawn. Highly recommended.

With restrictions changing so many time's, my daughters wedding date changed 4 times. Eventually we got a date that was going to happen. I had been searching online for months. Molly Browns in York has an amazing website which is easy to use and one of the only ones to offer delivery at this time. I ordered my beautiful outfit which arrived fast and packaged beautifully. I am a plus size lady and was amazed this outfit fit and looked so good. I cannot recommend Molly Browns in York enough. It will be the only place I go and in person next time I need a Mother of the Bride outfit. Thank you for

Went into all three of the Molly Brown shops in York the shop geared to fabulous holiday / summer shopping . Lovely assistant chatty , bright & helpful. The prom shop again friendly helpful assistant made yo to feel welcome . Then the wedding shop which was the main event .
Stylish merchandise lovely shop overall . If you want beautiful items & great service this may seem like the place for you . However if you want to be made to feel uncomfortable ,
& barely tolerated by an ungracious & bordering on rude shop assistant you are more likely to find this in Molly Browns wedding shop York

Thank You Lucy! Really helped me choose the right John Charles dress by sending me photos to assist me with my long distance purchase. Suggested the matching hat which I was looking for. Many Thanks again.
