Once you arrive, you can browse the rails, choose up to four dresses and join our numbered changing-room queue. If you would like to try more dresses, you are welcome to choose another selection and rejoin the queue.

Our fitting rooms are private, and a member of the Velvet Queen team will be available to help you into the dresses and zip you up.
