Shop Closing Down

Sadly, my wife is closing down her bridal shop in Worcestershire. She is holding a closing down sale this weekend. Most of the gowns and dresses (about 200 in total) have never been tried on!

Here's the details if anyone is interested......

    Thanks for your kind words.

    Even though times are tough, the shop isn't closing based purely on the financial side of the business. Unfortunately, my wife's enthusiasm for the business has gradually diminished over time due to a few problematic customers - through no fault of her own, I might add! She loved running her shop but the odd bad experience ended up grinding her down.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, she doesn't have photos available. However, she stocked dresses from Mori Lee, Imogene, Sacha James, and Ella. There are still loads of gowns and bridesmaid dresses left after our sale last weekend.

    Thanks

    VillaBadger - why not contact one of the auction houses to get rid of the remaining stock?
  • If you have the storage space could you possibly put them up on ebay??? :confused:
    More and more brides are using the shops as a dressing room to try on the different styles and then turning to ebay to get the dress for a bargain.

    Good luck and all the best to you & your wife for the future
