Hi everyone.
I am in starting up in business selling and hiring ball gowns, evening dresses. At the moment I am shipping dresses in from the US, but need to find a supplier in UK. This is where it gets frustrating I am finding it difficult to get one. I am just starting up so probably want a small supply to begin with. Can anyone help?
I have read the Start up guide on Occasions Wear, which has been extremely helpful but it looks like I have missed the bride and occasional wear trade shows until next year. Any advice would be great.

When we got married last yeat we were looking at suit hire for me and the ushers, etc.
Turned out the people we went with used a wholesaler right round the corner from where I used to live.
They are called Piscador
http://www.piscador.co.uk/
So I presume they wholesale or something.
Hope it proves to be fruitful.

Thanks Clem,
They deal only with men's formal dress. I was looking more for ladies ball gown, prom dresses. Thank you though replying.

Hello Diane,
If you give me a call i can try and at least simplify your payments to your US suppliers and hopefully save you money at the same time taking at least one of the headaches of importing away from you.

Hi there,
Unfortunately I can not give you any names of suppliers but I thought i'd make one suggestion. Have you thought about approaching a fashion design school and enlisting the help of a talented design student to work with you in designing and putting together a collection of your own dresses. You can have full control of design, fabric etc and it may work out cheaper???
It's a little out of the box but I thought i'd throw it in there.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do 
Tamara
