Buying Guide
Finding the perfect dress for prom, parties, and other special occasions can be an exciting yet challenging task. We can help you navigate this important choice and ensure you find a dress that reflects your personal style and makes you feel confident. Here are some essential tips to guide you through the selection process:
1. Consider the Occasion
2. Know Your Body Type
- Hourglass: Accentuate your curves with fitted dresses or mermaid styles that highlight your waist.
- Pear-Shaped: A-line or fit-and-flare dresses can balance broader hips and create a beautiful silhouette.
- Athletic: Choose dresses with defined waists or embellishments to add curves and dimension.
- Plus Size: Look for dresses that emphasize your shape, such as empire waists or wrap styles that flatter your figure.
3. Choose Colors Wisely
- Skin Tone: Consider what colors complement your skin tone. Warm tones may look radiant in earth colors (reds, oranges, yellows) while cooler tones might shine in blues, greens, and purples.
4. Fabrics and Comfort
- Look for breathable fabrics if you’ll be wearing the dress for an extended period. Consider factors like fit and stretch, especially if you plan on dancing or moving around a lot.
5. Accessorize Thoughtfully
- Choose accessories that enhance your dress but don’t overpower it. Simple jewellery or a statement clutch can elevate your look without being too much. Remember to match your shoes and bag to pull the outfit together.
6. Don’t Forget Alterations
- Even if you find the perfect dress, alterations might be necessary to achieve a tailored fit. A good fit can dramatically elevate your overall appearance.
7. Set a Budget
- Beautiful dresses come in all price ranges. Determine your budget before starting your search to help narrow down your choices and avoid overspending.
8. Start Early
- Begin your search well in advance of the event to allow time for shopping, fittings, and any necessary alterations. This helps reduce stress and gives you plenty of options to choose from.
9. Trust Your Instincts
- Ultimately, choose a dress that feels right for you. Whether you prefer classic elegance, modern trends, or bohemian styles, select something that resonates with your personal style and makes you feel fabulous.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently navigate the process of finding your perfect dress for any special occasion. Enjoy the experience, and remember that the most important thing is feeling great in what you wear!

Everyone in the store is very kind and helpful but we wanted to say a special thank you to Emily for her outstanding customer service. She was patient, friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She worked incredibly hard helping customers, finding different sizes, putting away dresses and keeping everything running smoothly, all while making everyone feel valued and never rushed.
All the stores in that area have lovely dresses, but we'll definitely return to this one because of the excellent customer service. She's a real asset to the team and would be fantastic at training others. Thank you Emily and Team for making our shopping experience so enjoyable!

Very positive experience! My daughter was quite nervous but the ladies in the shop made her feel super confident and they really knew their stuff. A huge selection of lovely dresses as well. And even though the shop was really busy, you never felt like you were being rushed and they really wanted to make sure you left with the right dress. Would highly recommend Diversity Design (which was also recommend to me!).

If I could give more than 5 stars I really would. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to find the perfect dress. The manager is the most kindest loveliest person you could ever meet she had so much patience with my daughter letting her take her time to choose the dress that she wanted. I would totally recommend this shop beautiful dresses beautiful prices and the most helpful and friendly staff what more could you want when you are prom shopping. They really do take the stress out of choosing the perfect dress and make you feel so welcome to keep trying on a number of dresses until you are complety happy. Thank you so much for all the advice you gave my daughter you went above and beyond.
