Why East Sussex Students

Although we’re based in Ashford, students from towns across East Sussex — Hastings, Eastbourne, Lewes, Rye and beyond — visit us because we specialise in plus-size prom wear and provide an appointment service that puts you at ease.
What makes the visit worth it:

Tailored for curves: Dresses selected specifically to flatter fuller figures.

Private appointments: No crowds, no pressure — a calm space to choose.

Event exclusivity: We record your prom details so your chosen gown won’t be sold to someone attending the same event.

Realistic styling advice: Our team suggests necklines, lengths and supportive underpinnings so you can dance with confidence.

Many families make a day of it — the trip becomes part of the build-up to prom, with dress shopping followed by lunch or local sightseeing.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

A little planning makes the dress search more fun and more effective. Here are a few tips for East Sussex visitors:

1. Book early

Popular times fill quickly around prom season, so reserve your appointment as soon as possible.

2. Bring inspiration

Images, colour ideas or a Pinterest board help our stylists understand your taste.

3. Consider the venue

Tell us where you’ll be celebrating — the venue can influence fabric and silhouette choices.

4. Think about movement

If you plan to dance, a dress that allows easy movement is essential.

5. Allow time for alterations

Standard tailoring usually takes 3–4 months, so plan ahead.

Please note: we do not offer delivery or mobile trunk shows — every dress is tried on at our Ashford boutique to ensure the best possible fit.

What to Expect

on the Day

When you arrive, we’ll spend a little time discussing the theme, colours and what you love. Then we’ll bring a curated selection of dresses chosen to suit your shape and preferences. Trying on different silhouettes is the best way to discover what truly flatters you — and our private setting makes that process enjoyable and relaxed.
If you decide to purchase, we’ll take your measurements for any required tailoring and confirm a timescale for alterations. We pride ourselves on a friendly, honest approach: our aim is a dress that looks stunning and feels comfortable for the whole evening.
