00:00Hello, so this is Adorn. This is the space that you would come to whenever you come for
00:07a little appointment. A wee seat if you want to bring a friend, you're more than welcome.
00:12Someone else can help you in picking your outfit. So basically, whenever we come in,
00:18it can be a bit overwhelming because there's a nice wee selection. So I normally just space
00:24it out into sizes. So at the bottom we have 6 and then 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 to 18. So
00:32normally we just have a wee chat about your event, where you're going to, if it's a dress
00:38code or anything like that there and what generally you would just like to wear yourself.
00:43So we pull the wheels out then of your size. You can pick as many as you like to choose
00:48to try on until you're happy that you've found something. Then you'd go in and have a wee
00:53try on. There is a little changing room in through here. As an example, if you come in,
01:00you can just pop all your wee dresses there and have a try on. Then you come out and we'd all
01:06have a wee look at what you've got on and a nice wee mirror there that you can come and see what
01:13you look like. So basically then once you have selected something, there's no pressure at all
01:19if you don't want anything either. I have some little bags that can help with finishing your
01:26look and then some headbands as well. So there's lovely little headbands and there are some wee
01:37earrings. I am so last minute so that's why whenever I was doing this I was like oh my goodness
01:42I need somewhere that you can just come and pick everything and pick it up the day before your
01:46wedding. So the wee headbands are from some girls from Northern Ireland, a lovely company called
01:54Prim and Penny. The lady that owns it is called Melissa and Be Banded. There's Sass and Halo as
02:00well. All gorgeous girls. You should give them a follow. So basically once you have picked your
02:07outfit, we book it out against your date and then you come back and pick it up the day before. I
02:13can also post to you if that is possible or if you want that at all. It just makes it a bit easier
02:22and then you can post back to me. But I think it's great. I've had so many dresses before that
02:27I've never worn again and this is the way forward. It's just like one big wardrobe for everyone to
02:35enjoy and we can all just be sustainable and wear the outfit and feel fabulous.
