Posh Frocks

There are now two of these wee shops in Belfast and it is starting to establish itself as the place to go for wedding dresses, cocktail dresses, formal dresses, bridesmaid’s dresses, basically any kind of dress that is a bit different and a bit bespoke.
This places basic website shows that this is a locally ran business and therefore I am a fan of it. The have a really wide selection of dresses and frocks for most formal occassions and you should be able to find what you need for a fancy night out. It may not be the most bespoke of clothing in here but its certainly good quality. The staff are always friendly and prices are pretty competitive. Well worth checking out especially as it is a local business.

Posh Frocks does exactly what it says on the tin, posh frocks!
Housed in a lovely building in the shopping frenzy of The Lisburn Road they stock formal dresses, cocktail dresses, brides, bridesmaids and bespoke ladies fashions.
The sales assistant told me all dresses are purchased from London, handmade, with new stock arriving in daily. They can also order in something specially for you.
Prices start at a reasonable £100.
Personally if I was going to a fancy do I’d prefer something a bit more out of the ordinary but Posh Frocks have a great selection to suit most peoples’ tastes.

Going to an all girls’ school meant that the hysteria of formal dress shopping was heightened to the absolute max, with every girl hoping that the delightful pink dress they had just purchased wasn’t the same as their best friend’s choice. Cue delirium.
Unfortunately (I think), those mad days are long since gone for me, but it’s nearly that time for my little sister, so I do kinda get to relive the dream again. Yippee! I told her (yes, she didn’t have a choice) that Posh Frocks should be the first port of call for ideas, and she happily agreed to take a look.
Posh Frocks was one of the stores many of the girls ventured to in search of the perfect formal dress, and there were definitely some beauties bought there. The shop had, and still has, a reputation for good-​quality, stunning dresses, and is one of very few formal dress shops in Belfast, so it is completely inundated with formal requirements from as far as Magherafelt (I was reliably informed by the extremely helpful sales lady). We were also told that many of the dresses sell out within days of first appearing… so we’d better get our skates on!
There isn’t a huge range of dresses, but due to the fact that new designs are constantly coming in, this doesn’t really prove a problem. The dresses vary in price from about £100 to £300, with the more embellished ones coming in at £295, whereas the plainer ones are around £165, and the cocktail length ones are obviously cheaper.
Having had lots of really helpful tips and information, and a good nosey around, the two of left with plenty of food for thought. I think I’m actually more excited that the little sis…

On our never-​ending quest to find bridesmaid dresses for my best friends wedding (no, not the movie) we ended up in here. They have a vast array of gowns and dresses for all sorts of events and occasions, be it a formal, a gala dinner type event, or a wedding as a guest or as a bridesmaid.
The woman in charge that day was SO helpful, and really cheerful and pleasant, she seemed happy to help, and genuinely interested, which is what you want in a good shopping experience. They had every colour, shape and style of frock, but not, unfortunately, every size, and my size 18 frame was not really catered for. There were a couple of dresses that sort of fitted, but they weren’t proper size 18s, and therefore were NOT flattering. The price tags weren’t extortionate, but they weren’t cheap either. If you’re skinny and have a bit of cash, this is a good place to get a dress that isn’t from the high street.
