About me
I’m Jess and I’m super excited to bring you this new venture!
I am passionate about good quality clothing which feels great to wear and reduces harm to the environment, so all of the pieces you will find here are pre-loved and only made from predominantly natural fibres.
I spent a decade working for charities with the majority of that time at enviornmental organisation Surfers Against Sewage, where the message that we can’t get every pollutant out of the environment any more, all we can do is stop putting more in, really hit home.
I left to pursue my own business teaching yoga and TRE, but following several major life events in a row, I took some time out to restore. Whilst on maternity leave and enjoying my new little family in deepest Cornwall, a little seed began to marinade and over that time Pretty Dress Vintage was born! I continue to weave my business around family life and love nothing better than typing one handed whilst my son sleeps on me!
The name Pretty Dress Vintage comes from my 3 year old niece’s love of them and her habit of saying ‘pretty dress Aunty Jess, pretty dress’.
I hope that you find something you love, that makes you feel wonderful and do so knowing that your Pretty Dress Vintage piece helps the planet just a little bit.
About Pretty Dress Vintage
A second-hand online boutique with an emphasis on reducing environmental impact
How does it work?
On the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month (so, every 2 weeks) a new mini collection will launch at 10am. You will be the first to find out about these if you sign up to my email list and follow me on instagram.
Tell me more about the clothes
All the clothes here are made from predominantly natural fibres and each piece is pre-loved or vintage and therefore totally unique to my collection. Once it is gone, it is gone!
How does the sizing work?
Every brand sizes slightly differently, so I list the exact measurements of: bust (at the widest part), waist (at the narrowest part) and hips (at the widest part). There is some flexibility depending on how you would like the piece to fit. If you are unsure, feel free to get in touch and I can help you with extra info if you would like.
Why buy from Pretty Dress Vintage?
If you are the kind of person who immediately looks to the care label to find out what it’s made from, or if you love Vinted and charity shopping but haven’t always got the time to sift through to find the gems and if you’d prefer to shop from small, UK based, female led businesses then you’re in the right place!
Do you buy pieces from individuals to re-sell?
Yes! Feel free to get in touch and we can talk about it.
What’s the returns policy?
I want you to be 100% happy with your Pretty Dress so if there are any issues, let me know within 14 days. The buyer is responsible for the return postage. Items must be unworn and in the good condition they arrived in.
