Thank you so much to Chris, Ruby and Myra for making my experience so special. The Cotswold Frock Shop was the first one I walked into and I walked out an hour later with the perfect dress! I couldn't have asked for a more confident and assured bridal consultant than Ruby - she really made me feel 100% at ease. She seemed to know exactly what I wanted even when I didn't! My first fitting with Myra was first class too - her experience is second to none and I really appreciated her advice, warmth and humour. Very excited for the final fitting and thanks again to the team! Kate x

The most lovely visit here today. Travelled an hour and so worth it. Myself, mum and best friend were welcomed by Ruby who was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. I found the perfect dress thanks to Ruby who really listened to what i thought i did and didn’t want! Lovely experience and so happy we visited! Thank you, highly recommend!

Travelled nearly an hour to get here and we’re met by rude, unfriendly and unwelcoming staff, complaining how busy they had been. When we tried to take a picture of the bride, we got told ‘guys I told you no pictures’ very snappily. Only bridal shop I know that doesn’t allow this, apparently incase we took a picture of the label and went… elsewhere! Don’t listen to your opinion and make you feel like your wasting their time, despite the fact you pay for an appointment. £20 wasted! Just because the shops in a nice location, doesn’t mean you get a

Thank you soo much to Ruby and Christine for their professional, friendly, enthusiastic and intimate service. Even with such a huge choice of dresses on offer, they quickly helped guide me with ease to the… dress of my dreams, recommended a small adjustment to make it that extra bit special and perfectly individual to suit me! I’ve also just picked it up, in plenty of time before the big day. Eeek! So excited to wear this at my wedding next year 🥰

From the moment I walked in Ruby made me feel so comfortable and at ease. It was the first shop I had been to, and I was very nervous! I said I didn't know what I wanted, but explained my features I liked and also didn't like... The first dress Ruby chose was incredible, my mum/ sister and myself couldn't believe it! I tried on a number more, all of which I liked a lot and felt really comfortable in - but kept talking about this first dress. Ruby checked and they had a smaller size which fit exactly how I wanted and we all knew that was the.. THE... dress! She even found a veil like the one I am

I couldn't have asked for more from the ladies at the Cotswold Frock Shop. Everyone was so helpful and patient while helping me choose my wedding dress, even letting me come to try it on again before settling… on it. They have so many styles, colours and fabrics that there is something for everyone. My mum also found her mother of the bride dress there when we came to pick up my dress. Thank you all for making choosing my dress such a special event in the lead up to our wedding.

The Cotswold Frock Shop was my second bridal shopping experience and I had a lovely time with Ruby who helped me secure my dream dress, and the team were great and putting me at ease with the alterations process - Nothing was too much trouble for them.
It is a shame that the Bridal Gown room doesn't have any natural light, and it is worth noting that there is a £70 charge if you wish to store the dress at the shop, but that aside it was a really lovely experience with a really wide selection of dresses to choose from!

I loved my experience at the Frock Shop. This was the first shop I visited and part of me expected my wedding dress selection to be quite stressful but it was completely stress-free and due to the huge selection in store I was able to find “the one” first time. Ruby was very patient and helped me try on so many dresses, and more than once for the ones I couldn’t choose between. The dresses she chose for me were perfect, she somehow immediately knew what it was I wanted. I actually went for the completely wild card that she chose for me and was amazed. Thank you for helping me and for providing

Had a great experience recently (it was a "yes to the dress" visit!) in this lovely shop. The premises is quite small so I was really impressed with the number of dresses in stock. My host (Ruby) was really quick to pick up on the style I liked, and pulled out a whole host of dresses, most of which I'd be happy enough wearing on the day (vs. struggling to find anything I even liked elsewhere) and a shortlist of 3 that were tough to decide between! Ruby had a great approach - not at all pushy, but providing opinions and advice to help me make a decision on what I'd be happiest wearing on the big

I had the most wonderful experience getting my dream dress at the Cotswold Frock Shop!! The staff were so friendly and allowed me to try on as many dresses as I wanted. They also provided excellent advice and really made me feel so excited about my day. It was such a beautiful experience and I cannot wait to go back to pick up my dress in a few months time.
Thank you so much for making my dress dreams come true!!

I had a wonderful experience at The Cotswold Frock Shop and Bridal Gallery. It was my first wedding dress appointment and I had no idea what to expect. Ruby made me feel so at ease from the second I walked through the door. As a curvy girl, I was apprehensive about finding ‘the one’ that suited me as much as I’d hoped. After a short conversation explaining my plans for the wedding and styles I liked, Ruby had pulled off 8-10 dresses to start with. She encouraged me to be honest about every one so that she could find more that matched what I was looking for. I found exactly the dress I was

Highly recommend The Cotswold Frock Shop. The easy booking process was great and well thought out. Having a questionnaire to provide information to the team really helped them select the perfect selection to try on from their large selection of beautiful dresses. Ruby made me feel very comfortable and successfully found me the one on our first appointment! I cannot wait to return to try on my dress and veils. Thank you to Ruby and the team ❤

What an amazing experience! From the moment I walked through the door to the minute I left with my perfect dress, Ruby and Christine were so lovely and welcoming when we arrived to start looking for my perfect wedding dresses. We were greeted with a glass of bubbly (non alcoholic) which was delicious and Ruby had picked out a few dresses which she thought I would like based on the bridal questionnaire I completed before the appointment. They were all stunning! I felt comfortable getting changed into the dresses and it was easy to talk to her about the wedding plans and what I liked and didn’t
