They also have a good range of party dresses and prom style dresses which seem to be getting more popular lately. The staff are friendly and helpful and happy to help you to try on. They do all their own dressmaking and alterations. I did discuss having them make my wedding dress for me but decided against it. I couldn't handle the stress so it was no reflection on them at all. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

As I work quite locally I decided to have a look one day and Unfortunately the staff made me feel unwelcome from the minute I walked in. I couldn't believe it when they actually asked me not to touch the dresses! They were all hanging sideways and so could not be seen without touching! I was really quite upset by this. Needless to say I left without buying and went somewhere else for my wedding dress.

As lorraine works alone she puts her personal touch to whatever you are having made, aswell as having regular updates and one to ones. Lorraine works VERY hard to achieve the highest standard in dressmaking and the results are amazing, therfore people that are not happy with the results obviously didnt work along side lorraine to achieve what they wanted and must of made it very hard for her. I recomend lorraine toeveryone i know as she is a wonderfull dressmaker.

ATTENTION BRIDES AND DEBS GIRLS TO BE!!!!!! I purchaced a…read moredress from Anne in Essential Bridal last April. The dress was badly made and falling apart so I returned it. I have made numberous calls and sent many emails to this individual and have had no reply to any of my communications. I still await my refund. This does not appear to be a professional business and Anne does not deal with her clients in a professional manner. The total I am owed is 104.99 (pounds!) DO NOT PAY UP FRONT FOR ANY ITEMS - INSPECT EACH ITEM BEFORE YOU PAY. OR BETTER STILL SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE. I WILL KEEP UP MY CALLS AND ALSO MY REVIEWS SO THAT EVERY GIRL KNOWS NOT TO SHOP THERE. I HAVE READ SIMILAR REVIEWS OF REFUNDS TO OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPAID SO BE WARNED. THIS IS A RIP OFF MERCHANT. DO NOT GIVE HER YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR WEDDING DRESS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PURCHASE YOU WILL EVER MAKE - GO TO A REPUTABLE SHOP NOT TO ANNE GRUNDY OF ESSENTIAL BRIDE IN HULL.
