Diaries at the ready... Phillipa Lepley is holding one of her hotly anticipated sample sales on Thursday 16th and Friday 17th June.

The aforementioned doyenne of couture bridal is known for cinching in waists by 2” and her sales cause much excitement due to gowns dropping from between £6,000 and £12,000 to as little as £1,100. There’s also a discount on alterations thrown in plus shrugs, veils and mother of the bride outfits too.
