if you're after...
something very special for the evening - a gown, perhaps, whatever you do you must have a look at Maria Grachvogel latest collection for the most beautiful evening dresses around.
something utterly chic - without the Maria Grachvogel price tag - then go straight to By Malene Birger. We'd like the WHOLE collection please. There's something for every occasion here - but be warned you'll never want to shop anywhere else ever again.
unique, grown-up, sophisticated glamour - if you haven't yet heard of Naeem Khan then you've been missing out in a big way! These collections are to be worn with exceptional pride, but with that expect that rather large price tag too.
young fashion - dresses for teens and 20-somethings with an 80s twist; think florals, stripes, shoulders, body-con and lace, you'll find at Motel Rocks. Fun pieces for say or night with affordable prices.
and keep an eye on
Shop at Anna for the prettiest dresses by some of the most wonderful designers around - we love the detail that goes into all the pieces we've seen here and we've already bookmarked this site!
finally don't disregard second-hand clothes boutiques - we have discovered some treats not to be missed including ... there are utterly fabulous little treasure troves all over the country, all with shelves heavy with new/nearly new designer and high end high-street clothes, shoes, bags and accessories including Sign of the Times in Chelsea, London. Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of Brompton Cross, this secret little second-hand designer clothes shop is a real find. Delve through rails stuffed with labels such as Chanel, Hermes, MaxMara, and Alaia. Simply fabulous!
or save money and hire a dress at -
Future vVntage Store stocks designer clothing no more than 2 years old and in fantastic condition, find labels such as Diana von Furstenburg, Alberta Feretti, Nicole Farhi, and Matthew Williamson. Fantastically affordable.
Girl Meets Dress is our favorite dress-hire shop with the very latest dresses around from designers such as Temperley, Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs, Ossie Clark, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Chloe and the list goes on. These dresses are more or less 'statement dresses', you certainly wont go unnoticed in one of these. They also hire out bags which are cheaper when you hire a dress with it. Simple chose up to 3 dresses, which will then be sent to you a few days prior to your event so you can try on and send back if no good. Fabulous.
