About Us

Having bought fancy dress outfits for our own children for years, we were always a bit fed up by the boring array of costumes available on the high street, and were annoyed at having to pay high prices for what we considered to be mass-produced cheap 'tat' that was uncomfortable to wear and fell apart relatively quickly too.

We were delighted to discover the Dress Up By Design collection which is exclusively designed and manufactured by a British company who also produce outfits for Disney. These outfits we felt were of a sufficiently high standard, with wonderful attention to the detail in both the design and manufacture, that we felt comfortable in stocking these costumes. We were also impressed that the prices are very reasonable for the quality of outfit and we are confident that you will be  as delighted with your purchase as we are in selling them.

We are continually sourcing new suppliers and will bring new designs to you as soon as we can.
