The perfect fit

Founded by Ann Pascoe nearly ten years ago, Manor Fashions specialises in selling outfits for mothers of the bride and groom.

When Ann’s daughter was getting married she quickly realized that there was a need for a specialist shop in Cornwall. So, she decided to give up the day job of teaching science and A-level chemistry and moved to launch Manor Fashions.

 Nearly a decade on, located at Truthall Manor just outside Helston, this fantastic Cornish boutique enables customers to experience a tailored, one-to-one service, with professional advice to help choose the perfect outfit. With an appointment system in place, there’s never any rush or pressure to buy, meaning you can take your time in making the crucial decisions on what to wear for your son or daughter’s wedding.

So what can you expect to find in store? Ann explains:

“We stock all the top designers of special occasion wear and offer a range of styles and prices. In fact, with so much to choose from, it would be difficult not to find something that will help make you look fantastic on the big day.”

Indeed, Manor Fashions’ reputation for choice, excellent service and honest advice has drawn customers from not only Devon and Cornwall, but even from as far as London and beyond. Much to Ann’s delight, customers often comment that they were dreading finding an outfit on the website, only to find the choice in the shop overwhelming! With Ann’s expert help, clients remark on how they were expertly steered through the sea of dresses, boleros and coats to find that ‘wow’ outfit.

Coming from a family of seamstresses, she’s always made her own clothes and those of her family and friends. This means that she’s well equipped to advise on any alterations required, offering a tailoring service to obtain the perfect fit.

So, if you have a wedding to attend, or have a special day planned at the races, Manor Fashions is simply a must for finding that perfect outfit. To see a small selection of the total stock available, be sure to visit the website, or better still, give Ann a call and book yourself an appointment!
