Joanne Parker set up the shop in September after she started her business buying one-off dresses and selling them on eBay.

Joanne saw that a former sandwich shop in Bury Road was available to rent and decided to expand. She said: “I completely renovated it and made it a bit more glamorous. I come from an interior design background so just jazzed up the shop and brought in the furniture.”

Rio Kane Designs, named after Joanne’s sons Rio and Kane, is an Aladdin’s cave of glorious outfits. There is something for everyone!

For the girl who needs that perfect prom dress to a fashionista wanting to impress at a fancy dress party, this should be your first stop.

And for those ladies who are scrabbling around for a dress for the Shall We Dance* event — yes, my dancing shoes are ready — then look no further than this shop.

I got to try on a few of the delightful dresses and had a bit of fun with feathers.
