WHY WE ARE THE NUMBER 1 PLACE TO SHOP

DRESS HEAVEN

Red Carpet Ready are the UK’s Largest Dress Specialists, specialising in both Prom dresses and Eveningwear.

We stock some of the biggest collections of prom dresses, eveningwear, bridesmaids dresses, pageant gowns, and non-traditional bridal wear in the country. You won’t find a better choice with anyone else in the UK.

We offer the biggest & best choice in the UK for all budgets & sizes and receive hundreds of 5* reviews every day.

Our amazing reputation means that although our 1 unique shopping venue is based in Lincoln, our customers travel from Colchester, as well as other towns and cities in Essex, and the surrounding areas such as West Mersea, Wivenhoe, Maldon, Braintree, Babergh, and Tendring and London too.

We also design & manufacture our own UK-wide RCR Exclusives Collection. These designs are made with love & care and are exclusive to us meaning that no other shops sell these dresses, giving you the ultimate UK-WIDE Exclusivity Guarantee.

Our celebrity red carpet dresses have appeared at some of the UK’s most glamorous events, from TikTok Star Ami Charlize’s head turning look at the National Television Awards to Saffron Barker’s slinky emerald dress at The Little Mermaid Premiere. Check out more of the UK’s biggest celebs who said yes to a Red Carpet Ready Dress!

When you come to us from Colchester or any of the surrounding towns, counties and cities, you’ll enjoy the complete Red Carpet Ready experience from the moment you arrive.

We have 5 amazing, themed luxury dress showrooms based at our 1 unique shopping location uin the grounds of a stunning old hall in Lincoln, which means you can expect fantastic levels of service in a picturesque location.

Our Prom/Event Promise also means that we won’t sell the same dress to the same school or event, not even in a different colour, so you can be confident that your look will be exclusive to you on the night.

To avoid disappointment, you can also place a deposit on your dress to secure it, meaning no one else from your event can purchase this.

The right clutch bag or jewellery completes your look, which is why we offer an extensive selection of accessories in a wide range of colours.

During our busy peak season, we are open 7 days a week until 9pm each evening, but if you’re travelling from Colchester or anywhere else you must pre-book to reserve a changing room.

Please call our booking line to book your appointment on 01522 793777.
