Wonderful little boutique run by a lovely lady - Mary. I got my dream dress semi-bespoke made for a fraction of the price, was definitely worth commuting from London! Thanks again!!

The most amazing place to find your dress. I thought I had a clear picture in my mind of what I wanted, but the ladies at The Bespoke Wardrobe found me the perfect dress which wasn't at all what I imagined. It was all bespoke - you can basically create whatever look you want. I added a big skirt, slightly changed the neck line and added a fixed ribbon around the waist. It was made to measure so fitted me perfectly when it arrived. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. So highly recommended.

A beautiful shop housing the best in British bridal design. Professional, considered service. Mary was able to advise my future sister-in-law who travelled in from Italy at very short notice into the exciting process of choosing her gown. The attention to small details and the expert advice are invaluable. With the overwhelming array of dresses and accessories in-store to choose from, nothing is too rushed or too much trouble. We were very comfortable with the level of service and guidance we were offered, and the final choice of dress is simply stunning on the bride to be! Thank you Mary and

Lovely bridal shop with beautiful range of dresses and very friendly service. I went with my friend for her first fitting and we had an amazing experience. Mary made us feel very confortable all the time, especially my friend. She showed us the wide range of stunning dresses and gave us very useful professional advice. Everything was easy and smooth; my friend tried various options and she finally found the perfect choice for her!

I usually don't leave review, but in the case I have to. Mary was absolutely amazing and she helped from the start to find the right dress for me. I had no idea which type of style I wanted, but she totally understood me and suggested me choices that I couldn't even imagine could work for me. She made everyone feel comfortable, I couldn't never thanks her enough for creating such a special moment for me and my family!!
