The face behind Once Upon a Dress Hire

Hello, I'm Katie

I started this business with a love for beautiful designer fashion and a belief that every woman deserves to feel confident, stylish, and special without the huge price tag.

As a busy mum of three little ones, I know how hard it can be to find the time (and budget!) for something new every event. That’s why I’ve curated a collection of carefully chosen designer dresses that are luxe, flattering, and perfect for weddings, parties, and special occasions.

At Once Upon a Dress Hire, it’s not just about hiring a dress, it’s about giving you a stress-free, enjoyable experience from start to finish. I’m here to help you find the perfect fit and feel amazing in what you wear.

Because every woman deserves her “once upon a time” moment ✨
