who we are

Welcome To The Dress Lounge

We launched The Dress Lounge Boutique in 2019 to bring Preloved clothing glam to the North West of England. We specialise in Preloved occasion wear for proms, balls, pageants, wedding guests, race days; any event that requires a posh outfit!

We recognised so much waste, particularly with prom dresses that cost a small fortune for a few hours wear. So we have brought an affordable and sustainable alternative way to glam up your life. What’s more local schools have endorsed our ethos and support our vision that Preloved fashion is a growing, ethical and thrifty way to shop.

Preloved is so on trend and the “Old is Gold” philosophy has never been more fashionable. Secondhand clothing sales are ahead of fast fashion and we see this shift in the market staying around for some time to come. A Listers such as Kim Kardashian and Megan Markle are examples of celebrities who are embracing anything vintage.

One year on and we have launched our website to bring our gorgeous Preloved collection to customers further afield who are unable to visit our Boutique (though if you are close by hit the book an appointment).

Remember, the fashion industry is one of the most polluting worldwide, so embrace vintage and love Preloved fashion. It’s the future!

What Our Clients Are Saying

I absolutely love visiting Julia’s gorgeous boutique! It’s so exciting to see the amazing range of beautiful outfits. I purchased a lovely pink dress for my sister’s wedding and I received so many compliments. My friends can’t wait to visit and see for themselves the fantastic range. My daughter also purchased a fabulous red Sherri Hill dress for her prom. I highly recommend visiting The Dress Lounge. The friendly atmosphere alongside the beautiful dress selection is a real winning combination.

Sarah Lord

I would highly recommend The Dress Lounge to anyone wanting to find the perfect dress for a special event. I purchased a beautiful designer dress at a fraction of the original price. The shop is gorgeous and Julia is so friendly and helpful. She also managed to sell a couple of my own preloved dresses for me. She has a great selection of fabulous dresses, so many to choose from! Definitely worth a visit!

If you are looking for something special, stylish, a little different and on trend, I would recommend checking out The Dress Lounge. Julia and Maddie have an eye for detail, a passion for fashion and a love of preloved. They offer a great selection in various sizes and an overall friendly customer experience. I bought a Victoria Beckham dress in the summer and love it!
