What inspired you to
start your business?
Having planned and organised our own wedding and hen/stag nights as well as our friends we decided to continue the fun and help others source supplies for their own. Finding affordable fancy dress for hen and stag nights was always a bit tricky and sourcing the right outfit for the right person sometimes proved difficult, not everyone wants to be embarrassed on their night out! We decided to create our own one stop shop to provide fun and affordable options for all brides and grooms to be.

What do you enjoy
most about your job?
Choosing new stock is always a fun task. We love it when customers send us
an email asking for items so we know where to focus our future orders and
guarantee that we are providing what we people are looking for. I personally
enjoy packaging up orders and wondering what kind of a night out the intended
recipient will have with our products.
What has been the
best moment of your business?
We have only been trading since the end of 2011 so our first
order is still pretty fresh in our minds (it was a Miss Santa outfit, sent to a
man!)
What are your plans
for the future?
To continue to develop our stock list. We are constantly
reviewing our search logs to check out what customers are looking for and look
to capture as much as possible in our wholesale orders. We appreciate feedback good or bad!
Can you give us a
‘Typical day in the life of....’?
There’s no such thing at typical for us! We’ve sent banana
suits to Malta and plus size Snow White costumes to Scotland in the same day,
plus a neon tutu to a man in London attending a rainbow themed fancy dress
party! We have no idea how many orders we will receive per day but we do ensure
that we dispatch within 24 hours if the item is in stock. We’re just starting
out so customer service has to be key.
