Jon Paul Fashions is a well established clothing shop in the centre of Swadlincote. The clothes at…read moreJon Paul are strictly designer items you are unlikely to get in any other shop in the area and as a result have a pretty hefty price tag, but if you looking for that something a little different, Jon Paul is the place to go. Jon Paul is also a suit hire business and that was my primary reason for visiting. I needed a tuxedo for my form's leaver's day and as I am not a regular wearer of such formal clothing, a three day hire was perfect. On arrival I was measured to make the suit was a perfect fit, they even included cuff-links. The staff were very polite and helpful too. As it transpired I inadvertently ended up on the TV as East Midlands Today covered the event, albeit for about one second, in my role as a person who opened the limo doors!

These are based in Swadlincote Town Centre and I really cannot recommend these guys enough, they…read morehelped me out of a pickle when I was looking for a suit for hire for a prom.

This lady is amazing! I rang June in May to ask her for help with my friend's wedding dress…read more Unfortunately due to circumstances, my friend, Lizzie, had to move her wedding to her fiancé forward by over a year and, although she had a dress, it needed quite a few nips and tucks and alterations making. June's number was given to me by a few people telling me how amazing she was and they were right. June is so understanding and understood the time constraints we were facing. She was able to alter the dress in under 3 weeks and was so friendly and lovely throughout the whole process and made sure that Lizzie was comfortable the whole way through. 6 days before the wedding, Lizzie tried her dress on again and found out that it was too tight to go fully up (the medication she is on has made her quite bloated). Ringing June in a panic, I asked if she could think of anything. Within the hour, she had reassured me and the bride and made a beautiful bow to cover any gaps in the dress (the material her dress was made from meant we couldn't just 'let it out'). She really did go above and beyond and ensured that Lizzie both looked stunning on her wedding day and felt comfortable! If you are looking for someone who is professional and friendly and does a heck of a good job, you must call June! All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you xxx

They keep lovely window displays and really try to theme everything. In the summer they will promote their wedding dresses and have them beautifully displayed in the window with all the wedding shoes and accessories that they have to hand.
