Cheyenne really knew her stuff and made our experience pleasurable. We chose the second dress my Daughter tried on as it was absolutely stunning.I still cant believe my Daughter and I agreed on a dress so quickly (we were in and out in 30 minutes). Also, as an added bonus, the prices were extremely reasonable. Thank you Cheyenne. Ann & Genna

I have a fairly small build and it is surprisingly hard to find small sizes sometimes. The dresses here are in a range of sizes, down to size 6. They have dresses for formals, bridesmaids and brides plus a range of cocktail and more casual dresses. The style is fun evening wear and simple but classy formal wear. The quality of the clothes at first glance is really good. Upon closer inspection, the materials of some of them maybe isn't the highest but then again the prices are fantastic so why not get a couple? In summary, affordable, fashionable and gorgeous dresses.

They specialise…read morein evening and formal wear as well as bridesmaids dresses and some jewellery, handbags and shoes. They are a great place to go for a school formal, race day or if you are looking for bridesmaid's dresses. I was first introduced to Gossip Gowns at a fundraising night last October where they had a gorgeous range of gowns on display. There was a few dresses I could easily have bought. Unfortunately, being a small selection o f stock at the event they did not have my size but I was impressed with the lady serving and the style of the gowns anyway. They have some long and flowing more formal dresses, plus some bright and fun cocktail length dresses.

Information for all Brides!!!! (Gossip Gowns Review)…read more I would not recommend Gossip Gowns to anyone looking for bridal or formal wear. They have poor customer service, are not transparent on their terms and conditions and will take your money any way they can! I recently put a bridesmaids dress on layby and paid a $150 deposit (the total dress cost was $340). We decided on a different bridesmaids dress and when we went to cancel the order they told us that it wasn't a lay-by agreement and refused to repay any of the deposit amount!!! This appears to be a part of the business model they have going where they call a layby a 'special order' (which does not appear right at law) and thus maintain that if you cancel your order you are not entitled to any refund. Gossip Gowns orders the dress the day you pay the deposit and its beneficial to them if you cancel the order as this means you forfeit your deposit and they can then re-sell the dress at the normal price of $340 and also keep the $150 deposit you paid, making a much larger profit on the dress then they ordinarily would have. We have lodged a complaint with the Office of Fair Trading but suspect this is something Gossip Gowns gets away with all the time because for most people a loss of $150 would not be worth even a few hours of their time. Bottom line - give Gossip Gowns a miss if you are looking for bridal or formal wear.

I've always thought the beautifully sculptured clothing in here looks as though it could have been…read moredesigned by an architect. Now I've found out that it actually is. The man behind the label is Andrzej K Pytel - who studied and worked as an architect until around 2004, when he quit the day job and launched his fashion label, SIZE. Methinks he made the right move - within 6 months, his first ever collection was available in 12 boutiques along the east coast of Oz. In 2009 he launched House of Ezis - and got into draping and folding and more "geometric" designs - the kinds of things instore at the moment. And his skill with a sewing machine has won him some seriously cool fans. He's been published in Oyster, Culture, Dazed and Confused to name a few. I love his digi prints (which he designs himself) and the awesome shapes of his clothes. I particularly ove the strapless white dress (part of his Unit collection) which is draped and shaped and pointed. Sort of like a work of art on a hanger.

Went here to get a dress made for a special occasion, the designer was nothing but plain rude and…read moresimply wanted the money. I made the mistake of paying for the dress up front, thus I was stuck with the dress, I ended up coming back for 3 fittings and buy the end the dress given to me was not even mine, but the demo one off the rack. I fail to believe how a 'professional' designer can even make this mistake and not even apologize, so I spent half of my special day in the wrong dress which ruined ALL the professional pictures as it was far to big and ended up with no refund..... I would never recommend using this business to anyone! Ever!

I do cherish a few stores but I'm afraid this isn't one of them. Don't go into this store expecting…read moreto find a fantastic sale. Ignore the discount rack out the front, too - this is always filled with one-off items the staff can't get to move. Cherish has been around for a very long time in terms of Paddington clothing stores. A decade ago, as a young pup, I walked past the store and it even had the same name and storefront design. A lack of make-over tends to indicate that Cherish has stood the test of time well whilst other Paddington boutiques barely make it (in their original carnation) to two years. I attribute this to the fact that Cherish has a specific clientele it caters to: namely, richer middle-aged women seeking out respectable, expensive dining wear or formal wear. None of the designs seem tailored to the early-20s Paddington cool crowd; this is high-end, "I have money and can't wait to get rid of it!" shopping only. If someone threw $1,000 at me and told me to spend it at Cherish, it wouldn't be a complete waste. Certainly I'd be able to buy some expensive but well-fitted business skirts, corporate tops and power jackets. And they'd probably last a long time. However, you don't generally walk into a Paddington boutique seeking out clothes for work. The staff here seem to have a very low rotation, and I can only assume the main staff at the front counter are owners. They never bother me with "can I help you?" questions, which is great, but on the other hand if a Soccer Mum-type rocks up in an SUV with a full purse I can expect to be ignored. Even if I walk up and ask for help. Others seem to enjoy this store more than I do, so it's possible I've visited on a few "off" days. However, over the last decade this has accounted to around 30-40 "off" days, since I used to live almost next-door and fruitlessly hoped that things would get better.

I popped in to Designs to Cherish with my Mum when she was looking for a 'Mother of the Bride'…read moredress. My Mum is very non traditional (the epithet Hippy may have been applied to her in the past) so I knew it could be a bit of a chore finding something. Designs to Cherish feels like a little sanctuary with its door providing space between busy Latrobe Terrace and your shopping experience. I love boutiques that create a seperation between real world and their world, and Designs to Cherish certainly does just that. The stock was beautiful, and there were quite a few floaty kaftan style dresses that I thought were perfect. Unfortunately I didn't factor in my Mother's aversion to synthetic materials plus her aversion to kaftans (apparently her ex mother in law wore one to her wedding so that made it a no no) so we didn't buy from them. I, however, mentally picked out a few pieces I will be back in for when I'm a little more fiscally solvent.

Sew Master Fashions is one of my little secrets, I don't say that because I think only few people…read moreknow about it because that would be ignorant considering the business has been around for many years, but because I always feel special coming here. I believe if more people knew just how good the service and quality of workmanship was here all of the other alterations businesses would soon be out of business. I often come here and ask If I could get my pants/jeans etc altered within the hour and irrespective of how busy they are they always achieve this without a hassle. They are always friendly and accommodating and I have never been disappointed with the result, on top of that they offer some of the cheapest alterations around. Even the more complex and time consuming alterations like those associated with suiting and leather goods they seem to do it with ease and for an exceptional price. I have had friends get wedding dresses made and altered, clothes made from fabric cut offs they have had lying around, silk saddles put into jeans, moth holes repaired and restored, everything you can imagine they offer. Sew Master Fashions continues to get the Stampy of approval year after year.
