The perfect experience - 100% recommend a visit here if you're looking for a wedding dress. The staff were very professional, explained how the process worked clearly and were so lovely they definitely put me at ease. Really beautiful selection of dresses and the store itself is so nice - great ambience, soft lighting, big changing room where you can change in private. Thanks so much! : )

I'm a vendor in this industry and I spent over a week researching the best bridal boutiques out there. Mathilda Rose are the best! There's a good reason why they've won the 'best bridal retailer' award at The Wedding Industry Awards! I love their range of dresses and amazing professionalism and can't wait to work with them here in Sussex. Any bride that works with this boutique is so lucky!

I had such a great experience at Mathilda Rose, the shop is beautiful and the service was so great. As we were working to such a tight timescale Nicola took special interest in making sure the dresses I was trying would be available in time, checking stock and availability as we went along. They have a beautiful range of dresses, I would thoroughly recommend a visit if youre looking for your wedding dress.

We had only 11 weeks from booking to plan our wedding and despite it being a small intimate day I still wanted the perfect dress but didnt have thousands to spend or months to wait. After being very disappointed at another well known boutique I started searching on StillWhite tirelessly looking for THE dress. The second I lay my eyes on the Rebecca Ingram Amy - I needed it! It was everything I was searching for that I had begun to think didnt exist. It arrived beautifully packaged. Brand new and unopened, and with such beautiful touches that made me feel like a true Mathilda Rose bride. Nicola

My friend was looking for a specific Maggie Sottero from 2015 (so over 5 years old!). She also needed it to be unaltered (she's 5'10") and wanted the sleeves that many people removed. All this to say, finding this dress was like searching for the holy grail- an impossible feat. Hours of internet sleuthing and I stumbled upon this boutique. Brand new. Unaltered. On sale. In her exact size. Only 1 left.
My friend promptly bought the dress (after verifying the length would be long enough). In the middle of the COVID-19 shutdown the store owner was able to ship off the dress and it arrived to my friend
