Sonique

Sonique is a glamourous boutique that manages to sparkle despite being cramped amongst the large High Street stores surrounding it. It’s sandwiched between Mamas and Papas and Forever 21 on the Upper Level of Bull Ring Shopping Centre.
The boutique has some fabulous one-​off ball gowns and formal attire in rich colours. Satins, silks and organzas are common fabrics, which perfectly bring out the depth of the colours and give the outfits a touch of class.
I generally find it difficult to find ball gowns that compliment my body shape but here; not only do they have a range of sizes, they also have an alteration service so your outfit can be nipped or tucked as necessary!
The prices are high end but then you are getting quality pieces that can be made to tailor your figure. Most of the designs come with a complimentary stole.

This is such a glamorous and girly store; perfect for those who are glamorous and girly! I have been in here looking for ball gowns for University Balls and also dresses for weddings. They stock a wide range of styles, sizes and colours and I have never had a problem finding something that I like. The dresses can be quite expensive, but they are very good quality and will be worth the cost for you to look fabulous on your special occasion. I really like the fact that a lot of the dresses come with a matching pashmina or wrap too. The staff are very helpful in here, they have always given me advice and their honest opinions if I have tried anything on. If you find a dress you like and it does not quite fit properly, they do offer an alteration service too, which is handy. It is a great dress store.

Sonique is one of the Bullrings upmarket shops.
The place to shop for your ball! Whether your after a fancy dress, posh frock, evening gown, or something special for a wedding, this place has it all.
The glitter off the sequins will want you reaching for the sunglasses. The designs are both elegant, exquisite, formal and fun & bright. A huge selection of colours make this outlet feel like your on a rainbow.
My mother loves this store, and the staff are so friendly. They also have a clearance selection if your after a bargain. The prices can be high end especially with the bridal attire, but that doesn’t mean a bargain can’t be had.
It reminded me of watching Strictly Come Dancing! (but no Brucie).
