After speaking to Diane and having not such a good experience in another shop local to me, I decided to make the 2hr trip to Compton Fashions. The shop was an Aladdin’s cave full of every colour scheme with matching Hat any mother of the bride could wish for. The service we received from Jo was exceptional and I could tell as soon as I walked through the door she knew exactly what would suit me and what sort of outfit I was looking for. I would highly recommend the trip for any other mother of the bride needing that special outfit.read more

What a wonderful place! The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and they give you all the time in the world. No pressure to purchase, full of compliments and genuine opinions. As you walk in, the selection looks ok but not amazing. But then you see the balcony and then walking upstairs and see two further rooms, you realise just how vast the choice is. The colour selection and designers and the easy to view sizes available in that colour and various designs.
Wish we had found this place sooner. It was only by word of mouth from a friend where we live, in Devon, that we found this absolute gem in a beautiful little village. The whole experience was stress free the staff actually made it enjoyable. The most stressful decision being which dress to buy! That day we had a new trainee help as a runner and she was very pleasant. Janette was the lady who helped my mum and she was fab! Honestly this place is absolute gold if you are looking for a Mother of the Bride/Groom or occasion wear. It was also nice to go shopping for a wedding outfit that didn’t include mainly wedding dresses.
Speaking to a lovely member of staff I learnt this is independently owned and has been going for 25 years and it is so clear to see why.
Thank you for a joyous couple of hours!read more

I had a wonderful experience shopping for a Mother of the Bride dress at Compton House. Philippa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was very honest, which I appreciated, and we discounted a number of dresses as the colour wasn't right. There was no pressure to buy, which is refreshing. I came away with a beautiful dress, perfect for the occasion and I can't wait to wear it.

Lovely staff and plenty of choice for the mother of the bride. Well worth the trip from Bristol, very helpful, when we walked in felt very welcoming. We ended up with the first outfit that they choose for us to try on, as it really suited my mothers colouring. It is also an outfit that she can mixed and match for other occasions.. All the staff were complimentary and gave my mum the confidence when trying on lots of outfits. I am so looking forward to seeing my mother in her outfit on my wedding day in a months time.

We popped in on Saturday to look for a Mother of the Bride outfit for my lovely mum. I'd just like to say how much we enjoyed our experience. All the ladies made us feel really welcome as soon as we arrived. Philippa was so helpful. She got mum to try a few outfits in her comfort zone at first, which were all lovely but I have to say, we left with a gorgeous outfit she would never usually have tried! I've never seen her so happy and confident, exactly how every bride would love their mum to feel on her wedding day. Thank you so much ladies!read more

I visited the shop yesterday, 12th June, to look for an outfit for Royal Ascot. I recently had surgery to replace my shoulder following a fall, and am very limited with movement in my arm. We were met by Jo, who immediately reassured me that she would assist in any way she could, bearing in mind my current disability. She selected various outfits, was honest in her opinion and persuaded me to try an outfit which I probably would not have chosen, but which is perfect in fit and style for the occasion. I love the hat she selected for me, and I left the shop feeling pleased and happy and looking forward to my day at Ascot with my wonderful family.read more

I had a very bad experience with a mother of the bride shop near us in Wales and my sister in law told me how good Compton house of fashion are. My daughter and I visited and I must say Jo was very patient with me and gave me honest feed back. The colour for an outfit I thought would suit me did not but the ones Jo asked me to try were perfect. I had to decide between three so Jo suggested going for a coffee to help clear our heads. The one we choose was so pretty and my daughter said "mum that is how to look like mother of the bride". I had complements all day long. So thank you for a wonderful experience and catering for women who are over a size 12 so well.read more

I visited Compton House to look for my mother of the bride outfit and was not disappointed. We were greeted by Julia who made us feel very welcome. After asking several questions about what style, colour and even what colour the bridesmaids dresses were (luckily my daughter had a colour swatch) Julia took us through to an amazing collection of outfits. A selection was chosen and the second one I tried on was just perfect. I did try on several others just to make sure but went back to the second choice. Julia then got me to try on three different styles of hats the last one was the best for me. Then it was time for shoes and handbag. Although I didn't purchase them today I know what colour I need to go for and think I may be back for the shoes as they felt so comfortable. I can only say a big thank you for all the help and attention we received. Would very definitely recommend Compton House of Fashion to anyone looking for a special outfit.read more

I visited this wonderful shop (3 1/2 hours drive) on 20th May. Wow what a difference to the reception I had in a shop selling similar outfits near London (1 1/2 hours drive). The staff at Compton House Of Fashion made me feel so welcome, they were busy when I got there so asked me and my husband to go next door for a coffee on them. We were soon seen by the lovely Diane she picked many outfits for me to try on and we soon had a choice of 2. She suggested that we took photos and go have some lunch to try and decide. After lunch I chose the final outfit. I so wish this shop and staff lived nearer to me. They are professional, courteous and are very good at making you feel at ease.read more

I was a little nervous about shopping for a mother of the bride outfit as I am not used to dressing up but as soon as I walked through the door of Compton House I was reassured by the friendly staff. Philippa could not have been more helpful, she asked about the general colour scheme for my daughters wedding and then showed me around the huge selection of outfits available. She allowed me to pick out a few outfits to try but also selected a few herself that with her experience she thought would suit. I was offered a lot of advice and felt comfortable and not under pressure to make a decision.
I left with a beautiful outfit and hat that I would never have been found myself and am very grateful for the attention I was given. I am now excited and confident about how I will look on the big day. Thank you.read more

Julia immediately put me at ease and picked out outfits in various styles and colours for me to try. It didn't take me long to find the right outfit and in my favourite colours and I felt like a million dollars immediately. They have the most amazing number of matching hats and I was able to try many on before making a final decision. In fact I came away with two hats having chosen one for my niece's wedding also in July. So many thanks to Julia and Wendy for their expertise and great customer service I can now relax and look forward to having a great day at my son's wedding.read more

She was very professional and talented and certainly knew the outfits and what would match.
Absolutely fabulous outfit.

I visited Compton House of Fashion on Saturday with my daughter. We were greeted by very friendly staff who explained about their vast collection of amazing outfits. Adele was the sales assistant who looked after me. She was helpful and patient and nothing was too much trouble. Many outfits and hats were brought for me to try. I was not rushed or pressured into making a decision, but I did end my afternoon with a super outfit and a very glamorous hat. Thank you so much for making it such a relaxing experience, and I will definitely be back when my second daughter gets married.read more

I can't thank Jo enough for what she did for me last Saturday. I have been going through a bit of a hard time over the last 15 months & last Saturday I was really down, but by the end of the day I felt much happier as I had an outfit for my daughter's wedding in July & I looked & felt good. I am not on the small side & have been trying to lose weight but not as much as I'd hoped due to bereavement & stress & my confidence was nonexistent. Jo was so caring & took time to listen to what I was looking for and got me to try outfits that I didn't think would suit me but actually did & helped me feel good about myself. She turned my tears into smiles. Thank you so very much Jo you are one amazing lady.read more

I was recommended by a friend to visit this shop for an outfit for my son's wedding. I was busy telling her in the car on our two drive there that I was NOT going to buy as it was my first foray into finding a dress, it was purely a looking exercise! Two hours later after the most fantastic help from Liz I was the proud owner of a beautiful outfit complete with hat. She was really lovely, ran around bringing me dress after dress, seemed to know the stock really well and what would suit me, never pressurised and allowed lots of photos to be taken that I could send to my son for approval! She even plugged me in to their wifi as the signal was not very strong in this lovely old building. The range of stock (over 1000 outfits), range of colours and sizes is truly impressive, all under one roof, so unlike going up to London, you do not have to trail around different shops. I hate shopping generally, but this was a wonderful experience. However, then disaster struck and I had a sleepless night, as the outfit I had chosen was not right for the bride's colours! I immediately telephoned the shop, Wendy was very reassuring, told me to come back, I had 28 days and a full credit. I went back again, this time helped by Philippa, who was equally lovely and patient. I tried on practically every dress in the shop, but have come away with an outfit that I, and more to the point, my son, like even better! Sorry this is rather a long review and I rarely write them, but I was so impressed with this shop and the ladies who helped me and I cannot thank them enough. Wonderful experience, even a nice coffee shop through a little door, all matching accessories available and Philippa told me where I could get shoes dyed to match. Thank you Liz, Philippa and Wendy.read more

I visited the shop on Monday 13th February 2017 in search of a Mother of the Bride outfit. It was very busy & I felt it would have been better to have booked an appointment. However, that said, the staff were lovely & all of them so helpful & attentive. As mentioned by others, the shop is arranged by colours so it was easy to look for what I had in mind. I tried several outfits on & nothing was too much trouble. We went out for a cup of tea & went back again to purchase my outfit. Thanks very much Compton House of Fashion.

What a joy to visit a shop with such a huge range of stock to choose from, I had an idea which outfit would suit me but Jo (2) suggested that I try additional styles before deciding on my choice. All the staff are extremely helpful and at no time did I feel under pressure to make a purchase, I was asked if I had a budget in mind which is a kind consideration but I knew before my visit I was happy to pay a higher price than on the high street for such a special occasion as my sons wedding.read more

I visited Compton House yesterday (after a 2hr drive) for an outfit for my daughter's wedding. I had initially phoned to ask about a specific dress. When I arrived I was very impressed with such a wonderful selection of outfits. I chose my outfit and the assistant (Wendy) was extremely helpful especially with choosing the right hat. The hat was a different make to the dress so she said to go downstairs into the daylight for her to ensure that the colours matched, which they did perfectly. She certainly had a lot of patience with me regarding hatinators and hats. The whole experience was very relaxed, excellent service and I would highly recommend them to anyone. In fact, I have today told the mother of the groom about the shop.read more

My friends and I made the journey to Compton House of Fashion yesterday and I couldn't be more pleased.

My mother in law to be asked me to write a review as she doesnt have facebook. She was initailly worried about shopping for a dress as wanted to do at her own pace and didnt want to feel like someone was just trying to sell her something. She visited twice and both times she felt really relaxed and didnt feel any pressure at all. The lady on the first visit was great with constructive feedback which really narrowed down a colour and a fit. She bought her dress for the wedding on the second visit off of the back of a recommendation from the lady on the first visit of a dress they had coming in. She is really very pleased. Would easily recommend!! Xxread more

I decided to visit Compton House after seeing it on the internet and from a recommendation of a friend who had her outfit with you last year. I visited on my own intending just to have a browse as this was my first outing for a 'Mother of the Groom' dress! I was very impressed with the sheer amount of outfits in every shade of colour across all size ranges. Immense selection, and being able to try on my actual size rather than guessing what it would look like from a smaller or larger outfit was perfect. Diane was so attentive and not a bit 'pushy', she was so tactful and so helpful. Diane helped me 'weed' out what didn't suit me and encouraged me to try all designs so I had the best from my visit. After over two hours I finally found my dress but the time flew and I am not normally a happy shopper! But this experience was something else, so calm and I didn't break out into a sweat at all! Normally I am the type to buy it and try at home as I hate the undressing and dressing of a changing room. But the shop is spacious and not claustrophobic. I left with my dress and large (very large) hat extremely pleased with myself. HOWEVER the icing on the cake came when I found the hat I had brought home had a slight flaw, I photographed it and emailed the shop that same night with the details of what was wrong. The next day I received a call first thing from Wendy who was so apologetic and said another hat would be in the post straightaway which I received 2 days later in perfect condition? I have worked in Customer Service for 39 years, and this last act proved Compton House is a cut above the others. My experience with the faulty hat could have been a long drawn out fight for my shoppers rights but instead it was so easy and stress free. Thank you everyone one! I cannot praise you enough, you have got it just right. Lots of choice, in lots of colours and sizes, friendly easy to communicate with staff and an owner who has the customer's at the heart of her business! Keep up the fantastic work.read more

I would recommend anybody not to be scared to order online from Compton House because the Ronald Joyce dresses they sell are more than value for money and with their good service you can only get to the conclusion, to do that again because the size fit was extremely good and the selection go from pretty to more pretty. That was a very big highlight and will not forget the experience soon.read more

I am delighted with the Mother of the Bride outfit I found at Compton House. It was exactly the style and design I was looking for, as it had to be a complete contrast to the outfit I had worn for my other daughter's wedding. Liz was incredibly helpful and although I did not make the decision to purchase on the Saturday afternoon, I went back on the Tuesday with a very close and discerning friend and tried it on again. It is now hung up in my wardrobe, along with the matching hat, and any friend who has popped round has been given a sneak preview. I think I will be going back again as I would like to buy one of the stunning hats to go with a previous purchase. Thank you again to all the staff at Compton House, who clearly all love their jobs - who wouldn't!read more

I was panic stricken about finding the right outfit for my daughters wedding in December - not least because I am short and round. I needn't have feared. What a wonderful calm experience with exceptional care, service, advice etc. After trying on a number of outfits, whittled it down to two, then re-tried them both. In the end the bolder brighter outfit was chosen which I wouldn't have ever picked off the rail in a dress shop. Im wearing a vintage blonde mink jacket with it and feel like a million dollars. . Back this week for a little tweek with the seamstress. Oh, and girls, I have gone for gold sparkly shoes . Would recommend whole heartedly. Thank you Compton House.read more

What a fabulous experience visiting Compton House was! My daughter is getting married in December and I just couldn't find an outfit. My hairdresser suggested that I visited Compton House where she had got her outfit from and I am so glad I did. It is an Aladdin's cave of beautiful dresses, jackets, hats, shoes and bags. Jo was so helpful suggesting colours and styles for me and very patient as I tried them all on. I settled on a beautiful dress and jacket and perfect matching hat, bag and shoes. The whole experience was relaxed and informal and very enjoyable and to get the whole ensemble - perfect! We even had our lunch in the delightful adjoining cafe next door whilst Jo looked after my purchases. Definitely a five star experience.read more

These were done quickly, her prices were very reasonable and the end result perfect. The customer service, advice and help was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.read more

My friend bought her mother of the bride outfit from here and recommended that I visited when I was next visiting from Edinburgh, as my son is getting married next year. I was staying with her last weekend with two other friends as we were celebrating fifty years of friendship!
The shop did not disappoint! What a choice!
The first dress that I tried on was the winner, but the lovely assistant suggested other dresses to compare.
I am thrilled with my purchase and bought a matching hat too.
I would have bought shoes and a handbag, but unfortunately they only have full sizes and I am a 4 1/2.
I can't imagine why anyone who lives in the area would consider going anywhere else, as the choice was incredible and the assistant was attentive and knowledgeable.read more

They even suggested Beckie take photos so that I could see front and back views of my favourite outfits.They were patient and did not attempt to pressurise me into purchasing anything.

Having struggled to find an outfit for my daughter's wedding in July, Compton House was recommended by the shop in Winchester where she bought her wedding dress. What a brilliant suggestion, the attractive little shop window gives no indication of the huge number of outfits within. All the staff are so attentive and helpful, making suggestions, zipping and unzipping, finding shoes to try with the dresses, and sewing a band in the glorious matching hat so that it fitted perfectly.
The outfit was a wow so I went back to get one for my son's wedding in September (two in 6 weeks!). It was another very pleasurable experience and again, although I am a difficult size to fit, I could choose from several outfits. I'm only disappointed I have no more children getting married, but perhaps I will need a dress for another occasion.... Thank you for making what was becoming a stressful time a happy one. Very best wishes, Carolynread more

I was recommended by a friend to go to Compton House of Fashion to get my outfit. My son is getting married in December and didn't realise until I phoned Compton House that the outfits were not seasonal, so I started to look. I did go to local boutique which was very nice, but didn't come away with anything because I had to go to this amazing shop. You walk through the door and you are welcomed by some happy members of staff. The shop on the outside looks quite small but the amount of dresses are unbelievable, every colour and variety of styles to suit all women. Adele the sales lady was amazing, helpful and happy and made me feel extremely comfortable. I could try on as many dresses as I liked, which I did but I saw one on the website that I liked and tried it on and that was the ONE. Nothing compared. I came away a very happy customer and to make my day I showed my partner and he complimented me by saying "he has never seen me look so beautiful and that my son will be as proud as I am", do I need to say any more but THANK YOU ladies.read more

My daughter is getting married in September and I have been sort of looking for an outfit not really sure of what I wanted to wear. I was worried about someone turning up in the same dress so I did a google search for mother of the bride and found Compton House. Myself and my daughter turned up on Saturday afternoon just to see 'what it was like'. We were both amazed by the quantity of outfits. Arranged by colour and size making choosing an outfit so easy. Tanya greeted us and helped us pick out different styles. I cannot begin to thank Tanya she was helpful reassuring honest and I absolutely felt that she totally knew and understood what I was looking for and how I wanted to feel on the day. I ended up with a difficult choice between 3 totally different amazing outfits and with the guidance of my daughter, Tanya and the rest of the staff I finally made by choice, Tanya found the perfect hat that actually looked amazing, as I've never been able to try one on without my daughter laughing until then. I wasn't hurried or pressured into buying and Tanya was so patient and complimentary. I am absolutely thrilled with my dress jacket and hat and felt so special. The hat was too big and they even managed to sew an extra adjustable band into it so it fitted properly before we left. My first attempt at truly looking for an outfit, and as my daughter said "what a find mum and what a great day and so easy" My advice to anyone looking for an outfit just go to Compton House they know exactly how to make you feel so special with literally 1000s of dresses to choose from. Thank you Tanya so much you were amazing. I can't begin to express how happy I am with my outfit and so pleased that I decided to go to Compton House. Thank you xread more

My daughter took me to Compton house last Saturday to look for a mother of the bride outfit to wear at her wedding in August. (I had been considering having an outfit made for me.) The visit was a first class experience. The staff, particularly Philippa, who was looking after us, went out of her way to try to meet our requirements, and took notice of our budget! The range of garments and accessories was amazing. We were spoilt for choice. We particularly loved the way the outfits were on display in separate colour schemes and of the wide range of hats available. I bought a beautiful dress and jacket, which I love and to cap it all I bought a matching hat, shoes and clutch bag. No need now for many hours spent trying to match my outfit with accessories. There was no pressure felt on how much time we spent trying on outfits, and no pressure placed on us to buy anything. I would highly recommend Compton house to future mothers of brides.read more

We walked in and we were instantly amazed by the volume of outfits to try on! This is when we realised that there must be something here! We had an amazing lady call Jo help us who went out of her way to find the perfect outfit! She took my mum out of her comfort zone and made her feel a million dollars and found an amazing dress and jacket complete with a matching hat! I would recommend anyone to go here as the service we received was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble! Thanks again Jo for making my mum feel so special! Xxread more

Oh how I wished I'd come here first instead of waiting until after all the high street trials & tribulations- Jo was fantastic, had my 'style' and requirements sussed in a few quick questions, recognised that I was 'out of my comfort zone' in shopping for that special outfit for mother-of-the-bride...she helped me find 'the one' in no time at all, accessories sorted in a subsequent visit, such friendly, helpful staff. Thank you.read more

Called in a few months ago, then re visited last week. Tried on numerous mother of the bride outfits. Excellent range of dresses all arranged by colour. Bought an outfit in a colour I would not normally choose. Staff very thoughtful and have an awareness of what styles and colours suit the individual. Suggested hats and accessories to go with the outfit. Overall a brilliant shopping experience.read more

Really impressed, one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. Thought I would be so full of indecision but that was soon alleviated by the wonderful assistance from staff member Liz.She so put my mind at rest with the co-ordinating of accessories to match the outfits.I was so pleased with my choice and the selection is amazing. I have already told several of my friends about Compton House including family members that are going to my sons wedding. I look forward to the day in July when I know I will be able to do my son proud as His mother.read more

This is a brilliant place to purchase that special outfit. So much choice but still very easy to find the right colour and size due to the way everything is set out. Jo looked after me when I purchased my outfit and was extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. So lovely to have that extra bit of care and attention that I hadn't experienced anywhere else in my search for my Mother of The Bride outfit. Thoroughly recommend this boutique and wish I had come here first. It is worth making the journey here. Just can't wait for the wedding now!read more

Wow, wow, wow this is an amazing shopping experience! I live in South Wales and visited with my daughter last week looking for my mother of the bride outfit for her wedding in August..we were amazed at how much choice there was and in all the colours imaginable....we were assisted by a lovely lady called Adele whom I have never met before but after a short chat she knew exactly what I wanted and what suited me....in fact I only tried on one style of outfit but in two beautiful colours and our decision was made. I just can't wait to wear my beautiful outfit in August and I know where I'll be coming back to when my son decides to get married thank you very much for an incredible morning.xxxxread more

After spending months looking for an outfit for my daughter's wedding in August I found my dream outfit at Compton a House of Fashion. I don't normally wear dresses and to be honest was extremely stressed about finding the right outfit. Although I gave the staff strict instructions on what I wanted they persuaded me to try on outfits outside my comfort zone. I'm so glad they did, the staff are so experienced they know exactly what will suit you. I love my outfit and feel like a million dollars in it, not the frump i normally feel. Thanks to all the staff for their patience.read more

I am writing on behalf of my mum Julie Bushnell who purchased a beautiful Mother of the Bride outfit for my wedding in September.
Because we were travelling from Southampton we were unsure of what the outcome of the trip would be as she only saw the outfit on the website in a different colour.
After a long but very straightforward drive we arrive to what looked to be a lovely little boutique turned out to be an endless store of beautiful hats and dresses and we were all blown away by the sheer size of the store as well as the huge selection of outfits.
Lovely Wendy have very kindly put the outfit my mum asked for aside for a few hours as we had to travel so far and as soon as she put it on that was it. She didn't want to try anything else on and she also got a hat with it.
The customer service was fantastic, they went the extra mile as the hat was too big and they put in an elastic band so it fit better whilst we went for lunch. Considering that the shop was extremely busy they still managed to do this for her.
The quality of outfit is exquisite and speaks volumes when 2 other ladies also wanted the same outfit in the same colour. What was also lovely was that different members of staff knew what outfit she tried on and the compliments were endless which made her feel fabulous and even more certain of her choice.
We all left very happy especially my mum who was beaming from ear to ear all the way home.
The main worry for her was the risk of a guest wearing the same outfit as her but because the outfits are very bespoke in this store she didn't have to worry.
We all highly recommend this store and if another big occasion comes along or my nan can't find anything then we will be back!!read more

Speaking on behalf of my daughter Mercedes.
We visited Compton House on Saturday to look for an outfit for her daughter's wedding in July. We had both looked at their outfits on line many times so expected to have a good selection to try. Were we surprised, yes indeed. The shop looks quite small from outside but wow, welcome to the Tardis !! Gorgeous shop filled with super frocks in every colour imaginable and all the shoes, bags and other finery a girl could wish for.
We were greeted warmly by Jean who couldn't have been kinder and more helpful. She completely understood Mercedes requirements, was very knowledgable about stock and what did or didn't suit.
Mercedes was able to try lots of lovely outfits without any rush. Lovely comfortable fitting areas and nothing too much trouble. We both had a lovely time and yes, found the perfect outfit. Very very happy Mother of the Bride and Grandma !!! Thanks again Jean and Wendy for all your help. Will send you photos of our big day !!
Very best wishes from Mercedes and Gwyn xxxread more

Having checked out the great website we made it our first shop to start looking for an outfit for our daughter's wedding and visited on 2nd March. What an amazing choice of colours and styles! We were warmly greeted by Jo who looked after us exceedingly well, listening to my thoughts as well as making her own suggestions but never in a pushy way. I tried on many outfits with hats, shoes and bags ( and even a necklace in one case!) too to get the complete look. Jo was endlessly patient and made me feel totally relaxed and able to make decisions without feeling rushed or pressured. She made my day of choosing an outfit for one of the most important occasions in my life extremely special and myself, my husband and daughter had a brilliant time! I chose an outfit I love which I'm so looking forward to wearing on my daughters very special day. Thank you SO much to Jo and Compton House of Fashion from the Smallridge family, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the shop to anyone.read more

After already having 2 dresses put on hold in my local town I wanted to take a trip to CHOF just to see what they had to offer after seeing their website. I was looking for a dress for my daughters wedding and wow what a choice.. Jo meet us at the door and was so friendly and attentive, getting to know my likes and dislikes and soon had a rail full of dresses for me to try on. There was no pressure to buy and after 2 hours Jo suggested we went for something to eat, and have a think about the dresses I had fallen in love with. This is such a beautiful shop I defy anyone not to find their perfect outfit. Thank you Jo I'm so looking forward to wearing my beautiful dress.read more

We travelled down from Usk expecting a 'centre of excellence' one-stop shop that would fulfil our needs. What met us on arrival exceeded our expectations - this was THE place to come.
The staff latched on to our thoughts without overwhelming us with any sales pitch. It has to be remembered that the excellent and extensive range of high quality outfits held here sell themselves but even so the experience and guidance of the staff ensured that we had a comfortable experience. and we give them our thanks.
Don't mess around at department stores, go to the professionals at Compton House of Fashion and let them ease the stress of this part of the journey.read more

This is the second time I have purchased a Wedding outfit from Compton House. The first time was 7+ years ago when 2 days before my son got married I had to purchase a new outfit for the event. The staff were so friendly, helpful and knowledgable about what would suit me, it turned a disaster into a success. That is why I travelled down from Wetherby in Yorkshire to visit again to purchase an outfit for my daughters Wedding. Once again all the staff were very welcoming and helpful, it's really special to get the outfits for both my children's weddings from the same lovely place.

It is my daughters wedding in July 2016 so thought I should start to have a look at what I might like to wear. So with a friend who's daughter is also getting married in 2017 we went to Compton house of fashion as we had heard about it. I really only went to look not even thinking I would come home with anything. Tried on one outfit that my friend and Jo the lady that was helping us said looked lovely. I really didn't know what to do and I tried the outfit on a few times in different sizes. Also complemented by other members of staff. Everybody was very patient and I went off to discuss with my friend and contact daughter. Went back to buy the outfit and they said they hoped I would buy it as they all thought how lovely it looked. Just would like to say a big thank you for all your help and will recommend you to others.read more

Diane could not have been kinder or more helpful, had a great eye for suggestions, and it was lovely discovering that quite a few outfits looked better on than I would have imagined. I ended up spending more than planned, but with the reassurance that I had something that felt very, very good and saved me much trekking round more usual haunts.read more

was so helpful. She asked about the wedding colours and advised me on what colours would suit me as mother of the bride and to make me stand out along with
my daughter.
I found the perfect dress and a hat to match (I don't really do hats but the whole outfit was perfect) I am so looking forward to wearing it. Thankyou Jo and Compton House of Fashion
