Tinkerbelle helps customers in Ipswich, Lowestoft, Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk choose a designer wedding dress, bridesmaid dress and bridalwear for the special day. We are a small family business, which was established in January 1989 with the opening of our first shop. Since then we have gone from strength to strength and TINKERBELLE really is now a well established Bridalwear business of some renown in East Anglia. Our aim is to provide a high standard of service to our customers, helping them find the perfect bridal wear, be it a designer wedding dress, or bridesmaid dress. We pride ourselves on doing this and TINKERBELLE has built up a fine reputation over the years, as our many customers will testify. Maintaining these standards is very important to us.
Unlike many bridal shops, TINKERBELLE is owned and run by people who are trained in Fashion and Design and who have a real passion for what they do. We are Designers ourselves as well as being knowledgeable and experienced in the craft of garment making and construction. Between us we have experience of working in costume for shows in London's West End Theatre, as well as in Film and T.V. We continue to have involvement in costume for Film Productions.
