Sadly, like so many of you, we have to close our doors until further notice. We sent out emails and texts to our incredibly loyal customers today. But we are still around on the phone if you need us.

As always, thank you for your support and kind wishes. We can’t wait to resume the bridal and prom journeys when it is safe to do so!!

Please continue to share / like / comment on our posts as we will with yours. It’s so important to stick together and support each other through the tough times ahead.

Sarah Belle Prom Update
21 March 2020

The world we live in has, with little warning, presented us all with enormous challenges. We all need to live up to and overcome them through our positive actions.

The decision to close schools was not a surprise, but it still came as a shock when it happened. They had little or no time to consider the broader impact of language and actions used. So we can forgive the schools for having to focus on the more immediate concerns.

Proms have not been cancelled; they have simply been postponed.

We all now need to take a moment to deal with the immediate challenges to life. Every one of us has a role to play in securing our own, our family’s and our community’s futures.

To all our beautiful Prom Girls:

Remember: Everything is temporary!  Get behind the #promforever movement, which is gaining momentum across the UK and the USA. Be in control. Be positive for yourself, your friends and your family. Prom WILL happen.

To our supportive Prom Mums, Dads, Nans & Guardians:

Adolescent mental health is fragile. We all have that many years behind us that we can apply perspective and see the future before us. Our Year 11’s don’t have that life experience yet, so this is a real trauma to them.

It’s our responsibility to apply positive mental attitude now more than ever.  Life will go on, and friends will continue to be friends. We will still achieve qualifications and life goals.

Overnight you’ve all had to become teachers, dinner ladies and head-mistresses.  Congratulations, you’re also now head of the Prom Committee! Prom is such an important milestone in a teenager’s life. It’s as necessary to a teen as a wedding is to a bride, and we know how much they look forward to the reward after their exams.

Together, we can now reassure our teens they will get the experience they deserve.  We understand that several schools already have plans in place to ensure this.

Over the next week or so, we will continue to process your dress.
We aim to do so in a responsible way. Everyone’s health and wellbeing are of paramount importance to us.

We will be in contact to discuss the practicalities with those who need fittings appointments with us.

The next few weeks are challenging for us all. We ask that you allow us a little pause to put in place actions and mechanisms to let us move forward towards prom.

Please follow us on Instagram and Facebook as this is often an easy, quick way for us to communicate out. For everything else, our contact details remain the same. 01793 528030 and [email protected] As ever, the shop is by appointment only.

Please stay safe, stay well and stay positive. Together we CAN DO THIS!
