FORMER Miss Cheshire Holly Ikin has retired from the cat walk to launch her own boutique business in Warrington.
During her days as Miss Cheshire and as a Miss England finalist, Holly soon spotted a gap in the market after the many hours she spent searching for the perfect outfit.
Now The Dress Studio at Culcheth has opened its doors and customers have been amazed by their collections, which include more than 600 incredible dresses – making it the largest selection of party and prom dresses in the northwest!
The Dress Studio offers a warm and friendly welcome, as well as a jaw-dropping collection of dresses! The boutique has dresses for all occasions – proms, parties, birthdays, engagements, pageants, weddings, cruises, races, nights out & more. The Dress Studio team also keep note of any special events or proms that the outfits
are for, to help avoid any fashion faux pas!
Holly launched the boutique on Glaziers Lane, conveniently located next to Partridge Lakes Fishery – so, dads/husbands/boyfriends can enjoy a cup of tea in tranquil surroundings, while the girls are left to do what they do best! Holly has opened the store after struggling to find outfits that tick all of the boxes.
Holly explained: “When I competed in Miss England, I had a nightmare trying to find the perfect dress. Last year, I went to Aintree Races and had the same problem…
I could never find what I wanted. And as all women know, if I found anything from a high-street store, it was practically guaranteed there would be quite a few of us in matching outfits!’
“I decided to open The Dress Studio to solve this problem. Instead of traipsing from store-to-store, I have created a one-stop-shop for all women.”
With prom only a few months away, The Dress Studio has hundreds of dresses perfect for the big event. They are prom specialists and have every style of prom dress that a girl could wish for. For groups of 5 or more, The Dress Studio also hosts ‘Prom Parties!’ With music, canapés, drinks and of course, trying on the dresses of your choice, the Prom Party is a fun & special way to select your perfect gown.
The boutique also has a very convenient ‘Saturday Night Range,’ an ideal solution for any outfit dilemmas! Prices start at £25, meaning you don’t have to break the bank for a last-minute fashion fix!
The Dress Studio is open 10am-7pm on Thursdays and 10am-5pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays. Private appointments are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please feel free to contact Holly at The Dress Studio on 01925 766258 with any enquiries that you may have.
