Shop local

“Shein won’t notice your order — but your local boutique owner absolutely will.”

We’re a proper independent — the kind where the owner knows your name, your size and the dress you’ve been after for months. Every piece has had one life already, and we make sure it gets another. Kinder on your purse, kinder on the planet.

Nova, owner of The Dress Agency in Hazel Grove

“There aren’t as many independents now. Which is why we keep going.”

Nova, owner

Our story

Three decades of
good taste in Hazel Grove

Nova opened The Dress Agency on London Road back in 1994, when her son was just four. He’s in his thirties now — and the shop has become a Hazel Grove institution, weathering recessions and a pandemic through sheer stubbornness and a very good eye.

What started as a clever way to give quality clothes a second life has become exactly the way we all want to shop now: sustainable, sociable and full of surprises. Come in once and you’ll understand why our customers have stayed for years.

Based on 35 reviews on our Facebook page.

An absolute treasure trove. I never leave empty-handed and the owner always knows exactly what will suit me. The quality of the designer pieces is unreal for the price.

Hazel Grove

I've sold with them for years. Everything's handled beautifully and the 50/50 split is completely fair. My old favourites go to new homes instead of landfill.

Facebook reviewer

Bramhall

Found prom and occasion pieces and barely-worn high-street gems in one visit. Independent, friendly and full of surprises — I'd rather shop here than any high street.
