Sale ends 29th September 2009 HOT OFF THE PRESS News just received from the shop, we have already had our first shipment of spectacular new Prom/Ball gowns from Goya. So those prom girls that came in yesterday (16 Sep 2009), come back! they've arrived!! NEW SPRING 2010 COLLECTIONS After two very hectic and tiring days at the British Bridal Exhibition in Harrogate we have managed to purchase a fantastic selection of new Bridal, Bridesmaid, Prom and Ball gowns for the coming season. The majority of our Bridal and Bridesmaid collections will be available to view/try in the shop later on in the year (probably around early to mid December) but should be available to view on our suppliers websites almost immediately. Just follow the links from the products page. The girls and ourselves are very excited about the new range of princess style prom gowns from our new supplier, Hermione Collection. This fantastic and glamorous range of big tulle skirted gowns and gorgeous taffeta gowns will mean that with our existing ranges from Goya and Jora, we now have a selection of prom/ball gowns second to none that should fulfill every prom girls dream. See the Prom page for details. It was not all hard work and no play at Harrogate however. The following photos show our shop's entry in the fancy dress competition at the Forever Yours annual retailers party. The theme was Halloween and we decided to enter as a team. Therefore the logical choice was 'The Addams Family'. The costumes were all home made and our effort was rewarded with 1st place. A great ending to a fantastic evening. Special mention should go to the girls, Alice and Kirsten who came up with the idea and put a lot of effort into coming up with ideas for the costumes. Commiserations to Kirsten who drew the short straw (and shorts!) and had to endure the whole evening in her Dad's size 10 shoes while dressed as 'Pugsley', a real test of her patience and sense of humor.

Nice to see them back! 30 Oct 2008. Proms are definitely starting earlier this year. One of our popular dresses is going to at least 5 different proms already. Obviously word has got out that the 'early bird gets the worm' and we have been busy this half term taking orders for several schools in Lincolnshire. 29 Oct 2008. Saturday the 1 November 2008 sees the grand re-opening of Unique Handicrafts next to our shop in the Mall. This shop was heavily affected by the fire and has been closed for refurbishment and to replenish water damaged stock. It will be nice to see the shop back up and running again and we hope to see the other shops affected by the fire, open for trading again soon. 23 Oct 2008. We have just received the approximate dates for our new Bridal and Bridesmaids collections.
Please note these dates are APPROXIMATE only (we will also need time to prepare the gowns) so please ring to confirm that they are in stock and ready for viewing/trying. 15 Oct 2008. BEAT THE CREDIT CRUNCH!! - All suit hire orders placed before 1st Jan 2009 will be priced at this season's prices. We are also putting a price freeze on our dresses too! brrrrr even though our suppliers have already made increases (this will be reviewed on 31st Jan 2009) 24 Sep 2008. A lot earlier than expected, the new range of Bridesmaid dresses from Impression have arrived and are ready to view and try in the shop. We have also received a new range of evening/prom gowns from Yve of London. 23 Sep 2008. Well I wouldn't want another day like yesterday 22 Sep 2008 again. I arrived at the Mall for work as normal only to see the place cordoned off by Police Tape and two fire engines outside. In case you haven't heard there was a fire in the Mall in the early hours of Monday morning. Luckily, no one was hurt and although the damage to the front of the Mall is bad, it could of been a lot worse! Luckily for Image and the other businesses further down the Mall we were hardly affected. Our main concern, of course, was for those customers whose dresses were stored in our shops. I would like to reassure them and anyone else who has any items on order, our stock was not affected at all and we are now trading as normal. We had a slight bit of water damage to our carpet in the men's hire unit but apart from that you would not know that anything had happened. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the guys at CCTV who alerted the emergency services. Without their prompt action the damage to the Mall could of been a lot more extensive. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to the other businesses affected, Gere, Unique Handicrafts and Milano's, who suffered more damage than ourselves but I'm sure will be trading again in the Mall in the very near future. 09 Sep 2008. Having just returned from the British Bridal Exhibition (BBEH) in Harrogate we are really pleased to announce that we have taken on a new supplier for the new season, 'Impression Bridal'. Each wedding gown is fabricated with a special kind of boning, 'Magic Fit' that rests softly on the skin, and yet reveals a slim body silhouette. The new range should be in our store December/January along with 30 new bridesmaid sample dresses. This gives our shop a massive range of bridesmaids dresses including Forever Yours and Alexia Designs. We now have hundreds of styles in Satin, Taffeta, Chiffon, Charmuse and would you believe the Forever Yours range is now available in 4 new colours making a total of 58 colours. We have also increased our range of tiara's and veils which will be available to view in the shop between now and December. 20 Aug 2008. IMPORTANT NEWS FOR BRIDAL. Prior to the big wedding show at Harrogate we normally receive a discontinued list from our suppliers. These Bridal and Bridesmaid gowns will still be available to order for a couple of weeks after the show (7-9 September 2009). If you have chosen a gown already for your wedding next year please contact the shop to check if it's to be continued into the next season. 20 Aug 2008. XMAS FUNCTIONS/PROM 2009!
