Emma Yau, shop manager at Oteley Road, said: “Prom can be an expensive time, so we wanted to make it easier and more affordable while also giving beautiful dresses a second life.

“Every dress sold helps us provide care and support to children and families who rely on Hope House. We’re excited to offer a range of sizes, styles and colours - there’s something for everyone.”

The sale includes: a wide choice of great value prom dresses, from classic to contemporary styles to accessories such as shoes, bags, and jewellery, with changing rooms available in store.

The shop is also accepting donations of prom dresses and accessories. 

“The sale will run in the shop while stocks last, but often we sell our prom dress stock pretty quickly so don’t leave it too long,” added Emma.
