About Us
Dressplace is my longed-for dream come true. More than twenty years ago I was planning my dream wedding to the love of my life, just like any other bride, until I realised that without some long lost relative bequeathing me a fortune, I was destined to forgo the dream wedding dress. Fortunately, I found a quaint little wedding dress agency, where I was able to purchase my fabulous once worn gown, which fulfilled all my desires and made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. In the words of Dorothy Parker, “Where’s the man could ease a heart like a satin gown?”

Several year's later, whilst accompanying my three daughters in their search for the wedding dress of their dreams, I discovered that the whole bridal experience could be very expensive and extremely stressful. Gowns costing half a year's salary, bridesmaids outfits needing 12 weeks pre-ordering time ( try telling a 4 year old not to grow!) and mother of the bride outfits very few and far between. After all that stress, not withstanding a wonderful wedding day, where are the beautiful gowns now? Collecting dust on top of the wardrobe!

The next special occasion to come along took me completely by surprise: the school prom. A great event for the hardworking students to say goodbye to their school years and wear a fabulous gown to boot. The only problem being that a small lottery win is required to afford the fairytale dress and of course all the accessories to match.

The experience starts here.


After many more disappointing and frustrating shopping days, searching for affordable, quality dresses, for various special occasions, I decided to open my own dress agency. A place where fabulous once worn dresses, for any special occasion, can be bought or sold at reasonable prices. A friendly place where you can feel special, where you can feel beautiful, whatever your age or dress size. A place where you will receive excellent, reliable service and value for money, where you will feel pampered and important.


A place where you can take the risk out of buying and selling. A place with real dresses, worn by real women, at affordable prices.


I look forward to meeting you soon.
