“I am over the 🌙 moon. Without a doubt… this is the one!!! X”

“I am absolutely buzzing today after receiving a stunning outfit (Pamela) recorded delivery.  Yesterday I called Debra and as expected from my previous purchase, received incredible service.  I purchased two outfits 3 years ago.  One for our eldest son’s wedding (Silver Esmeralda).  It was stunning and I had so many compliments, I felt a million dollars!!  In August our youngest son gets married so I didn’t hesitate to call Debra.  She is so infectious and informative, simply nothing is too much trouble for her.  After our last conversation at 3.15pm yesterday, by 10am my stunning new outfit including a very comfortable hat (on a head band) and matching bag were here ready to try on with two other outfits held in reserve in case this wasn’t the one.  One stop shop!!  As a larger lady I was absolutely dreading going shopping for a ‘Mum of the Groom’ outfit back in 2018.  From the moment I phoned her to the whole 1 to 1 appointment experience, I was made feel like a model and really special.  I cannot recommend Debra and the Ann Balon brand enough! 😊”

“I have a few Ann Balon outfits in different colours. They are worth every penny!“

“Hi Debra, Please see attached photo. I came into your shop in March and didn’t even want to try anything on. You and my niece persuaded me to try this dress on and I was hooked. My son was married on Saturday and I felt fantastic!!! I had some fabulous compliments on my outfit and gave recommended you to so many people which I hope results in plenty more visitors to you. Thank you so much for knowing what would suit me even if I didn’t!”

“Here is a photo of my mum and I on my wedding day. She felt so confident in her Ann Balon outfit, and received loads of compliments!”

“I wore a beautiful Ann Balon design ten years ago for my own wedding. It was beautiful and glamorous and so easy to wear. I have now just bought another outfit for my daughter’s wedding in July which has arrived this morning.  It’s beautiful and fits lovely, “hides a multitude of sins” as they say!  A very happy customer.”

“My mother of the bride outfit ten years ago but still very current.”

“My Ann Balon outfit I purchased from you in coffee last year was worn to my youngest daughter’s wedding and then to my second daughter’s MBE presentation by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The highlight of this special day was an unknown lady approaching me and admiring my outfit. I thanked her for the compliments and felt a very special lady. As she went to walk away she turned towards me and said ‘by the way, I am the Queen’s Dresser’. Can you imagine how I felt?”

“Hi Debra,  It arrived and it’s perfect!  Fits wonderfully and is very comfortable.  My husband loves it too!  Now can’t wait for our son’s wedding at the beginning of July!!  I am thrilled and feel very glamorous wearing it!  I’ll send a photo from the day!  Thank you for all your assistance and advice – you were such a help and very re-assuring.”

“Thank you, Debra, for your assistance in my selection.  The ensemble is absolutely gorgeous, fits beautifully and I will be oh-so-comfortable for our daughter’s garden April wedding!  I love the color.  Your work is flawless, magnificent.  I will be….”absolutely stunning,” as my mother-in-law would comment if she were still with us on this earth!  I will soon be shoe shopping, hoping to find a “kitty heel,” and if the purse complements my selection, I will apprise!”

“I came across Ann Balon when I was searching on the internet for mother of the groom dresses. I immediately thought ooh I like these!  I then started to follow Ann Balon on Facebook/Instagram and was loving some of the outfits that came up on the videos, so I made an appointment. From the minute I walked in the shop I felt at ease.  Debra and her daughter were lovely and not at all pushy. I loved trying on all the outfits to find the right colour.  Debra then brought out the bag and hat/fascinator to match so I am now all sorted without having to have one of my tantrums when clothes don’t fit.  These are cut so well they hide problem areas, and the 3 pieces have elasticated waist.  They are all so comfortable.  It was a day of smiles as the dress was perfect and I felt fabulous so now I cannot wait for my Son’s Wedding.  The dresses are pricey but they are beautiful.  Even my husband didn’t flinch when Debra told him the cost!  He just said he can’t wait to see me on the day and that it was worth it to see me smiling.  I will post pictures.  Many, Many thanks Debra and your lovely daughter for all your help.”

“I like to wear lace pieces by a designer called Ann Balon. I do like to look well. I want people to say ‘look that’s Philip Lynott’s mother, she keeps herself well.’”

“I said “Yes to the Dress!”.  Upon arrival at Ann Balon in Cheadle and by appointment, we were greeted by Debra who immediately engaged with us in a relaxed environment. Once my size was discussed and achieved, we looked at several beautiful and colourful outfits. I selected several to try on in a variety of styles and colours. I tried a number on and almost immediately knew the colour and style that suited me.  At no stage was Debra pushy and had a patient relaxed style and engaged with me throughout.  I would highly recommend Ann Balon for your special event as mine is the Mother of the Groom next April.  So looking forward to wearing this stunning outfit and many thanks to Debra in helping me find the right one.”

“A fabulous time in Cheadle today searching for Mum’s Mother of the Bride outfit and something special for her Ruby Wedding Anniversary.  Very helpful, honest and friendly advice given, 2 absolutely beautiful outfits purchased and one very happy Mum – thanks Debra xx”

“Most definitely (recommend), Debra puts you at total ease as soon as you step into the shop. My dress and jacket was beautiful and so comfortable, top quality. Highly recommend ❤️ Thank You Debra x”

“I’ve worn creations by Ann Balon at both my daughters’ weddings in the past. I’ve always liked the way they feel comfortable yet very classy. I have recently made another purchase which I’m pleased to say arrived yesterday. I contacted Debra through Facebook, she was so helpful. As I was unable to travel to Cheadle to her shop to try on the garments we discussed, she sent photos of the two items that might suit. I chose an outfit, and as promised received it, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.  I can’t Thank Debra enough, she has been so helpful. I highly recommend Ann Balon for style, and excellent service. I can’t wait to wear my new outfit this summer.”

“Very helpful. Caring and compassionate 
Love my choice. Can’t wait to wear it 
Stunning dresses”

“Rosemary and I have made it home to the Welsh border with her lovely frock safe and sound! We were beautifully looked after by the whole family from the moment we got off the train. 
Rose loves her dress and is now much more relaxed about our daughter’s wedding in May! The service we were given was as professional as it was friendly and complemented the bespoke dresses perfectly.  They are rightly proud of what they do.  Even husbands are welcome!”

“This is the second time my mother has bought an Ann Balon outfit. The first one was for my older daughter’s wedding and now she has bought another one for my younger daughter’s wedding.  She had so many compliments for how she looked first time round and now 5 years later at the age of 92 I know she will receive them all over again.  She looks simply beautiful in it. Thank you Debra for being so helpful and for sending me a few outfits for her to choose which colour and style she liked best.”

“Patience, knowledge and great customer service. Many, many thanks. Vicki W”

“Hi Debra, I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me and my mum out yesterday. I think you saved us from a “Mother of the Bride” disaster! Really appreciated how helpful you were. Thanks again and have a great weekend, Laura”

“Gorgeous collection of clothes – could not have received a better experience and really looking forward to wearing my outfit to my daughter’s wedding.  Discovered Ann Balon online and my daughter arranged a surprise trip to Cheadle – Debra really knows her stuff and can be relied upon to provide you with that very special and flattering outfit – thank you for your time and patience.”

“We visited today looking for an outfit for my mum for my wedding next year.  We were met by Debra, daughter of Ann Balon, and we could not have asked for more.  We tried on lots of outfits (all were beautiful) and good honest helpful advice was given.  Once mum had picked the dress and found a fascinator, Debra spotted an alteration that needed doing.  She pinned it and the alterations were completed within the hour.  Fantastic service and I would definitely recommend Debra and Ann Balon.  Thank you.”

“I would highly recommend Ann Balon.  The designs and colours are exceptional along with the personal service from Debra who will guide you through the collection to suit your occasion.  You will feel a million dollars in their amazing outfits as I have done for many years.”

“Dear Debra, 

Just a note to say the dress and jacket have arrived – they are just perfect.  Colour is excellent and the outfit looks great.  Thank you so much for advice and help with this.  I tried it on to show my husband and he was most complimentary too :-)!

All the best,”

“Hi Debra, Thank you so much for all your help with my wedding outfit.  I could not have been happier with my suit and the colour was amazing – could not picture any other colour that would have suited me so much – got loads and loads and loads of compliments – got a beautiful hat to go with it as well – wished the day didn’t have to end  – it was sensational and I felt sensational – I actually felt it was very slimming on me which meant I was going around on Cloud 9 all day.  Sadly, the day passed too fast.  Not surprised you have such a good name.  Wish I had another occasion coming up to buy another suit but Padraig was my last child to get married!  I haven’t got the video of their photos yet but sooner or later I will send you a photo.  Once again Debra thank you so much for helping when I was feeling desperate and to have sent the suit in time for the wedding!!!!  Loads and loads of good luck to you and your family and of course your company – Ann Balon – I will remember her name for ever!!!!!  Kind Regards,”

“I bought an Ann Balon suit for my son & daughter in law’s wedding 2 weeks ago on the 10th August, it was so comfortable & I felt extremely special in it, I had loads of comments on how beautiful I looked, I would definitely buy another one of her outfits. Xxx”

I was looking for an outfit for my daughter’s wedding which takes place in December.  Debra’s expertise helped me to choose the colour and design that I simply love. I was so grateful for her choice.  I felt a million dollars in my gorgeous outfit.  I would recommend Ann Balon to anyone who who wants an outfit for a special occasion to consider the journey.  I can almost guarantee you won’t be disappointed.”

“Many Thanks Debra at Ann Balon for your wonderful assistance in choosing a dress for my beautiful Bride’s big day. Both myself and Allie were grateful for the welcome we received and the time and attention taken for us to choose the beautiful gown. Allie has always wanted to own a garment made by Ann Balon and now she owns 3 and I am pretty sure there will be more to follow. I myself cannot wait to see her walk down the aisle in the immaculate outfit that you found for her and I know Allie cannot wait to get it on. Many many thanks again Debra, we were beginning to think we would never find the right dress, but now thanks to you we can relax knowing we are going to have a marvelous time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect dress, we had a special day and made a special friend too. See you again Debra no doubt.”

“We had such great service, made us feel at ease straight away, instantly found multiple outfits to try on, finally finding the one for my mother-in-law to be! Service was so good we were even escorted to the tailors for our alterations! 5*”

“Stunning outfits, purchased a 3 piece for my daughter’s wedding 10 years ago and yes I still have it, and yes I still wear it.  Got to say I love it.  Thank you so much.  In fact my outfit has lasted longer than her marriage.”

“I love Ann Balon. I wore different designs to my three daughters’ weddings. They are so elegant and can be worn again as they are so versatile.”

“I get married next month and my mum has lost over 2 stone and still hadn’t found an outfit! We came here and within the hour we are complete with a full outfit and service to perfection. Could not recommend enough! Will update next month with pictures! Cannot thank you enough xx”

“Debra thank you so much for all your help in choosing my fabulous outfit for my Son’s wedding in December. You were so helpful and professional.  Happy new year and all the very best for 2020.”

“Dear Debra,

Thank you for your email and a really big thank you for helping me choose an outfit for my daughter’s wedding. I am so glad that I/we made the long journey to your shop and I could try on so many different styles without any pressure.  As I am not on Facebook I will send you a picture of me (after the wedding) wearing my Greta 3 piece in Metallo.  Again, thank you for all your help and for looking after us last Thursday.

Yours with very best wishes,“

“Hi Debra, Thanks for your kindness and your efficient manner. I am delighted with the outfit I came away with last Wednesday! My friend was also mighty impressed with both your shop and your service, we would recommend you to anyone looking for that special outfit. I will send you a photo of the day later.”

“Debra was lovely and really knew her product. She had my mum sorted with the perfect outfit in no time. Literally so much choice all quality and beautifully made would 100% Recommend! 💫💫💫💫💫”

“This is the second time I have bought an Ann Balon outfit.  I find the fit very comfortable and flattering!!  I’ve never been to the Ann Balon shop as I live in Scotland which is about a 4 hour drive so dealt with everything on the phone.  Debra was very helpful and posted a few outfits for me to try at home and choose which colour and style I liked best.  I have two now!! They are beautiful and so comfortable to wear. Debra is fantastic.  Give her a call.  Thank you once again.“

“You look fabulous. I found out about this designer (Ann Balon) about 12 years ago and I am lucky to be the owner of four of her outfits. One in a slate grey, a gold 3 piece, and a cranberry 3 piece. The latest is in blue. These outfits are so versatile and so comfortable to wear!”

“Just bought my mother of the bride outfit. I am a larger lady who finds it difficult to get nice formal wear. The range is fantastic with colours and sizes for everyone. Would just like to say thank you to Debra as she did a fantastic job!”

“Whoop whoop!!! Can`t wait to wear the outfit. Friendly, efficient service. Beautiful, stylish, comfortable outfits. I’ve just purchased my third for a special family wedding in July.  I know they are expensive, but boy oh boy, they make you look and feel like a million dollars, and hide any lumps and bumps due to clever designing and beautiful Italian lace.  I am 73 yrs of age and disabled…..yet when I`m wearing my special outfit, I know I will be noticed for what I`m wearing and not for the fact that, apart from standing up to have my photograph taken, I will be sitting on a mobility scooter.”

“I bought an Ann Balon outfit for my son’s wedding three years ago which I really loved, and wanted something similar for my daughter’s wedding in August this year. I contacted Debra by mail and phone. Wow what a wonderful helpful lady she is! She sent me lots of photos of various outfits and accessories. I chose the outfit, fascinator and bag which she then posted to me, on the understanding that if they weren’t completely right I could send them back for a full refund. This certainly put my mind at ease! I received them the next day and they are absolutely perfect. The lace is beautiful quality, the cut is brilliant and so comfortable. These outfits make you feel like a million dollars. I can’t recommend Debra at Ann Balon highly enough. She was an absolute delight to deal with. Am now looking into buying another outfit from Ann Balon for another wedding and my anniversary!”

“Had an amazing day.  Debra was very very helpful, very kind and friendly. Service, beautiful suits, spoiled for choice with colours.  Was very happy with my buys. Loved my hat, absolutely fabulous service. Thank you Debra. Definitely be returning 🥰“

“My husband and I had a lovely couple hours with Debra at Ann Balon.  She is the nicest most helpful person you could wish to meet.  I had an idea of the outfit I wanted for my Son’s wedding and Debra found a few for me to try on.  I fell in love with the 3rd one I tried on it was perfect in every way, fit just perfect too. We matched it up with a fascinator and bag so all ready for the big day. It was so relaxed and friendly and we felt we had known Debra forever.

“I bought my first Ann Balon outfit many years ago (it is from the 2006 collection). It has been worn many times including to Buckingham Palace twice and Ascot.  My son is getting married in July.  In lockdown I ordered many different outfits but none of them had that WOW factor.  I made an appointment with Debra at the showroom and found exactly what I wanted.  Soooo pleased with the dress and full length jacket – I will really look forward to wearing it.  Debra was very helpful and went the extra mile to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Many thanks.“

“Just bought an outfit from Ann Balon for my Son’s wedding. Debra was just fantastic and really put me at ease as trying on clothes is not my favourite thing. I came out of the shop with a dress and jacket, bag and hat, feeling on top of the world. Would recommend Ann Balon to anyone looking for a wedding outfit. Thank you Debra xx”

“We visited the Ann Balon store last weekend. We were greeted by Debra and my Mum was made to feel very comfortable to look at the collections to find her Mother of the Bride outfit.  My Mum wore an Ann Balon 3 piece suit for her son’s wedding in 2012 and knew that she wanted another exquisite outfit for my wedding in July.  Debra listened to what my Mum had worn in the past and what colours she was thinking of for the wedding. Debra pulled a variety of outfits from the collections and the trying on commenced!  Mum tried on four different outfits but the second outfit was the one!  Debra made us all feel at ease and start to feel excited for the big day!  The free customer parking at the rear was a bonus.  Thank you Debra x”

“Hi Debra,  Wow, what a stunning 3 piece outfit  (Pamela in Blu Marino) and how come it makes me look so much slimmer???  It is absolutely beautiful, fits so well and is so comfortable to wear.  I was amazed at the rapid delivery of my outfit. I cannot believe that it was delivered within 24 hrs!!!! That is most unusual for the islands!  The outfit is so well made and elegant and the matching bag goes so well with it..  Thank you and your mum so much.  I am highly delighted with it and can’t wait to actually visit in person.  Many, many thanks.”

“After speaking to Debra on the phone regarding me visiting her shop on the bank holiday weekend travelling from Kent in London to look for a outfit for my wedding in September 2021. Debra was so helpful in advising on what would look good on me.  I decided on a beautiful three piece outfit which was a beautiful colour. I asked Debra would she send the outfit to my home in Kent which I then received two days later. I would recommend Ann Balon to anybody looking for that special outfit and to speak to Debra who was extremely helpful.”

“My wife, Karen, bought a beautiful outfit yesterday for our daughter’s wedding in August. Whilst Karen was a little nervous beforehand, the whole experience was so professional that she left feeling much more confident and delighted with the stunning dress, hat and fascinator. Debra and Ann were both so knowledgeable and friendly that we would not hesitate in recommending them to all our friends and family. Thank you for your fantastic service and we promise to send photos of the big day.”

“Visited the store today, really impressed with the one to one service. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. Made to feel at ease, the quality of all the merchandise was first class and great value for money. Debra was so easy to deal with and made me look and feel a million dollars in the outfit I eventually chose for my son’s wedding.”

“Thank you Debra for making it so easy for me today.  Love my outfit and will be sending photos of me all dressed up.  Thank you.”

“I visited the store last weekend with my Mum looking for a mother of the bride outfit for my wedding in July. We were greeted by Debra who was very friendly and made us feel at ease straight away. Debra really listened to what we both wanted and used her expertise to help my Mum find a beautiful, stunning outfit.  We can’t thank Debbie enough!”

“Thank you so much Debra for your help in finding the perfect outfit for my son’s wedding in July.  I am so pleased with it.  Found you very warm and down to earth.  Would highly recommend Ann Balon for any special occasion x”

“Really thrilled with the skirt, top and jacket that I purchased from Ann Balon for my grandson’s wedding in September. It was wonderful to find something so flattering, sophisticated and yet very comfortable to wear. Debra is extremely helpful and has excellent product knowledge. There are so many lovely styles and colours to choose from but with Debra’s help I was able to find the ideal one for me. Definitely worth the drive across the Pennines to visit the shop. Now I can’t wait to wear it!”

“Today I have purchased my second Mother of the Bride outfit from this amazing Company…. the service, help and assistance was second to none…. My daughter’s wedding is 4th September…. I will post pictures when able… Thank you so much Debra for a wonderful couple of hours xx”

“I have the blue dress and jacket bought for a cruise about 7 years ago – love it, have used it for many occasions.”

“You have no idea how pleased I am and all I can say is you are a genius Debra!  It is absolutely stunning and a perfect fit – it could have been made for me.  You were so right about the size – it fits beautifully.  I don’t think I have ever worn anything that fits so well and I feel so good in it.

I cannot wait for the wedding to wear it – it makes me feel so special just like the mother of the groom should feel 😊.”

“Hi Debra, My outfit arrived at 7.30 on Saturday morning when I immediately tried it on and I am absolutely delighted with it.  Thank you sooo much for your advice.  I now have the shoes, bag and hatinator, so all set for the big day now!”

“I bought this outfit, can’t tell you how beautiful it is and fabulous made me feel.”

“After being thoroughly disheartened by what wasn’t out there to fit a larger than life mother of the groom, it was with a certain amount of scepticism that when I came across the Ann Balon website online,  I very wrongly thought this will be just another website that promises the world and delivers nothing in the end.  How wrong I was! It was pure fluke that I found it – I found the Ann Balon brand only after coming across it in another Fashion House website. I contacted Debra who is nothing less than a genius I would say.  She was so helpful and so easy to deal with – nothing was too much bother and she sorted me in no time at all. After a bit of toing and froing, we decided on a design, colour and an appropriate size and it was sent to me one day and received the next.

Still feeling unexcited I tried it on.  Well everything Debra promised me came true.  A weight was lifted off my shoulders – it was absolutely stunning and a perfect fit – it could have been made for me.  I don’t think I have ever worn anything that fits so well and I feel so good in it.

I have went from dreading the wedding to now not being able to wait for it to come round – the outfit makes me feel so special just like the mother of the groom should feel.

Thank you so much Debra Gold and Ann Balon – I will be forever in your debt 😊”

“My outfit has arrived and it’s perfect 👌 !!!! Thank you so much for your help!”

“I brought my beautiful outfit for my son’s wedding – a dress, coat, hat and handbag. I’m so pleased with them all. It was a wonderful experience, there are many lovely collections at Ann Balon. Debra thank you for all your advice and being so helpful.”

“Thank you so much for my wedding outfit which arrived early today.  It is lovelier than I imagined and fits perfectly!”

“Today I traveled from St Albans in Hertfordshire to the Ann Balon show room in Cheadle.  Debra was amazing, first finding the right style and then the right colour.  So many gorgeous styles and colours to choose from.  I now have a beautiful outfit for my daughter’s wedding and I will feel fabulous wearing it on her very special day.  Thank you so much Debra, you were wonderful.”

“Thank you Debra. I have at least seven of your lovely special occasion 2 and 3 pieces. I will be looking forward to buying another in the early autumn as we will be 50 years married in November and I must have another for this special occasion.”

“Thank you Debra.  I always feel good in my Ann Balon outfits, this one especially!  I’m really glad I took your advice that this was the one for me.  Talking to my hair stylist this morning and showing her a photograph of my newest outfit, she is going to recommend to another client.  Thanks once again.”

“Nothing was too much trouble.  Debra made us feel very welcome was patient and absolutely honest.  Worth travelling from Caernarfon!  Wonderful service and plenty of choice.”

“Hi Debra, Just want to say that my Grandma’s dress was absolutely stunning!  It looked so beautiful on her and she was so so happy with it! The colour was gorgeous and the fit was beautiful.  Thank you so so much again.”

“I have three Ann Balon outfits, one in silver grey, one in beige / gold and one in cerise. Fantastic  outfits and lovely to wear with lots of compliments.”

“I have a few Ann Balon outfits in different colours. They are worth every penny!”

“This designer is wonderful! I had a suit for my son’s wedding. I felt a million dollars in it and everyone was asking about it xx”

“I bought an Ann Balon outfit.  It is beautiful and I felt  wonderful in it.  Had an amazing day. I can recommended them.“

“From talking to Debra on the phone I was reassured that there would be an outfit for me. From entering the shop until I left Debra was very helpful and honest. Nothing was too much. I was spoilt for choice with the styles and colours. After trying on several outfits I decided on a stunning three piece outfit for my son’s wedding. This is my second Ann Balon outfit, they are so comfortable and well made. I strongly recommend Ann Balon for special occasions. Thank you Debra.”

“Debra, Thank you for the outfit, it arrived safely yesterday.  I am delighted with it it fits beautifully and looks lovely.  All being well I shall be back for another one next year for another granddaughter‘s wedding. Regards, Barbara”

“Personal attention online. Nothing was too much trouble, especially as I kept changing my mind.  When I finally decided on an outfit and it arrived, it was just what I was expecting and more! Looking forward to wearing it for my Son’s wedding in October.”

“I live in Ireland and previously purchased an Ann Balon outfit for my daughter’s wedding from a shop in Dublin. As the shop has since closed, I decided to look up Ann Balon online for my youngest daughter’s wedding. I was delighted to see that the online shop delivers to Ireland. I emailed Debra, spoke with her over the phone and found her to be very helpful and accommodating. There were no difficulties in exchanging any outfit bought online and the speed and efficiency of the delivery was very good. Debra provided excellent customer service and made the online purchase very easy and straightforward. I now have a beautiful outfit which I look forward to wearing at my daughter’s wedding in September. (From a happy customer in Ireland)”

“Hi Debra, I received my beautiful outfit this morning ❤️ I love it 😍 It is perfect x The colour is stunning. Thank you and dad for your help. I feel that I can relax now. I can’t wait for the wedding. I have two more children that are engaged so I will be in touch soon 💕 Thanks again. Love, Carol Murphy xxxxxx😘“

“Wore this outfit for my son’s wedding recently.  Felt really comfortable and got lots of lovely comments.”

“The most comfortable outfit you will ever wear.  Does not crease…  You will not find an outfit as elegant or comfortable for both day ceremony and evening than one of these.”

“I wore a blue 3 piece for my son’s wedding and a coffee dress and jacket for my daughter’s wedding.  Both were honestly admired and so very comfortable.”

“Hi Debra, It was lovely to meet you and I want to thank you so much for your welcome, your expertise and advice.  And all the walking up and down stairs!  It was such a relaxed afternoon and you were so helpful and patient!  I know I shall feel comfortable and confident at the wedding and will certainly send you some photos…  It was quite special to meet Ann Balon’s daughter, but also her canine friends!  Best wishes,”

“Debra, just wish to thank you for wonderful range of Ann Balon outfits I had the pleasure of choosing from today.  The different styles and range of colours took my breath away.  I felt like a million dollars and thrilled with my final choice including hatinator and bag to compliment my outfit.  I would recommend anyone in plus size to visit the Ann Balon shop for their occasion outfit.  Thank you so much Debra for your excellent service today.”

“Debra, thank you so much for all the help, advice and wonderful customer service you gave me while I was trying to buy a Mother of the groom outfit for our sons wedding.  You were so patient with me and agreed if my outfit wasn’t right that you would refund every penny.  I went by your advice and am grateful and so happy that the outfit is absolutely perfect. I would be only too happy to recommend you to others. It’s the 2nd Ann Balon suit I bought and am really happy with both.  Thanks again.”

“Fantastic Service and advice. Debra is a true professional. My Mum is delighted with her suit for my brothers wedding. Thank you so much. ❤️”

“Dear Debra, Thank you so much for all your help and advice.
The Pamela in black is stunningly beautiful and a perfect fit.  I’m so looking forward to wearing it!  With all best wishes and warmest thanks.”

“I ordered from Debra.  The service was excellent and a perfect fit.  Defo recommended xx”

“Wore one of your beautiful outfits to my daughter’s wedding Dec 2006.  So comfortable, got lots of wear out of it.  Favourite outfit of all time!”

“It was well worth the trip to visit Debra and try on the range of beautiful Ann Balon outfits. The combination of what I thought I wanted and what Debra suggested I tried on resulted in the purchase of a beautiful 3 piece for my son’s wedding, that I know I will feel comfortable, confident and gorgeous in! Looking forward to wearing it in May.”

“Bought this outfit for my Son’s wedding. The compliments I received were lovely, not to take anything away from my Daughter-In-Law who looked Beautiful. Money well spent.”

“Hi Debra, it was lovely to meet you and thank you for your patience and understanding. I feel fabulous in both of the outfits that I have chosen and it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.”

“Dear Debra, Thank you for your help in getting my beautiful outfit for our daughter’s wedding, I’m so pleased with it, you made me feel relaxed and comfortable, which wasn’t the easiest of task’s with my condition, thank you for your patience.  We are looking forward to the big day and will certainly send you some photos.  Thank you once again Debra.”

“I went to Ann Balon yesterday for an outfit for my Son’s wedding. I was met at the door by Debra who put me at ease straight away and used her expertise to find some suitable outfits to try. She soon found the perfect outfit. I just knew it was the one. I feel a million dollars when I try it on and cant wait to wear it for my Son’s special day. The outfit is of outstanding quality and feels so good to wear, and will also be versatile to wear after the wedding with jeans or smart trousers.  Thank you so much Debra for all your help. I will definitely shop with Ann Balon again for an occasion.”

“My daughter was married on 19 March and I had this outfit in silver/grey and it was perfect just perfect.  Had so many compliments and it was so comfortable. And Debra was amazing.  Highly recommend.”

“Hi Debra, Happy Easter and Thank You! My outfit gained many compliments at the wedding on Tuesday at Whitby Castle!  Even strangers said how lovely it was as I waited in the hotel foyer for the taxi! I shall certainly contact you again if I have another wedding! Many thanks for your help!! 🌺😍“

“I have turned to Ann Balon twice now for important family occasionwear. Their designs are elegant, cleverly cut to suit real women of all shapes and sizes, and extremely comfortable to wear. They can be dressed up e.g. with a hat for more formal wear or worn separately for a less formal occasion.  I bought online. Debra is right to insist on a consultation: her expertise in fitting, colour and occasion is second to none. She is also extremely attentive and accessible, as indeed are George and the other staff, who went to great lengths to ensure that I got my purchase and was happy with it.  On this occasion I wore “Georgia” in Blu Marino: it is a very easy colour to wear. The balance of the beautiful lace with the linen look material is perfect, and the length of the skirt very elegant. I was comfortable for the whole day at a family wedding, and it was much admired.  My thanks again to Ann Balon for beautiful elegant and comfortable occasionwear.”

“Finding a ‘Mother of the Bride’ outfit at the Ann Balon store couldn’t have been easier! There was a large selection of beautiful dresses and three-piece outfits in a range of stunning colours to choose from. With Debra’s expert advice I was guided through the options and found an outfit that feels so elegant and comfortable. I’m not usually a one for dressing up, but I cannot wait to wear this outfit on my daughter’s big day in June. Thanks again, Debra!”

“Absolutely first class service from Debra. She is a wonderful lady whose expertise allowed her to know exactly what would suit me. I’m delighted with my beautiful outfit which I received first class and wrapped perfectly. I highly recommend Ann Balon’s outfits. Thankyou so much Debra.”

“I first purchased a Ann Balon outfit about 25 years ago. I was particularly interested in the unusual combination of fabrics used to create the outfits. Ann has used lace, knit and satin backed crepe and appliqué. The appliqué was used as embellishments on various areas of the garments. The lace and other fabrics had been specifically dyed for the outfit.

I visited the website of Ann Balon and found it was now being run by her delightful daughter Debra. I especially wanted a Ann Balon outfit for a rather special wedding I will be attending in August. The help I received from Debra was outstanding, she is extremely enthusiastic about fashion and also very knowledgeable about her range and different figure types and the problems some ladies may have with different styles .

I am pleased to say the combination of textures and the use of appliqué is still used now which gives the outfit a wonderful extensive range of styles originality and flair.
The website is informative and pleasing with a range of helpful information.“

“My outfit arrived yesterday and I am delighted with it. It fits beautifully and the colour is superb- a fabulous shade of sky blue. The fascinator and clutch I bought to match are perfect. Thank you so much for all your support and help in making a final decision (which I must admit was difficult!) as there are so many beautiful choices.
I have the perfect outfit, and will prove that 80 is just a number. Many thanks Debra!”

“It was a pleasure to deal with Debra. Her knowledge, advice and efficiency made choosing the wonderful Ann Balon outfits very easy. The outfits themselves are gorgeous and we now have a very elegant Mother of the Groom who loves her three outfits. Thank you“

“I was looking for something a little bit different for both my son’s and daughter’s weddings this year. Happily I found two stunning outfits in Ann Balon. Debra made the experience really enjoyable and was so helpful from start to finish. She offered fantastic advice and went above and beyond to find me two perfect dresses with accompanying hats and handbags. It was well worth the journey all the way from Northern Ireland.”

“I have received my outfit, and I am SO pleased with the fit and colour! Thank you for all your help and prompt service.”

“Oh my gosh! The suit is just perfection and the fit is spot on. Thank you so much for all of your help.”

“I received my dress today and it arrived so quickly! It is very lovely! Also, the hatinator is perfect – it completes the outfit beautifully.Thank you so much for all your help! Your customer service is absolutely amazing.” Lisa from Canada

“Debra was excellent, attentive and professional with just the advice I was looking for. There were a great choice of styles and colours. Generous with her time and expertise Debra clearly has her heart in finding the right outfit for her customers. Thank you.”

“I visited the shop in Cheadle and Debra was fantastic.  She is welcoming and really does not pressure you to buy if you are not completely happy with how you look and feel in her garments.  I was dreading the usual trip to buy a wedding outfit but this was great as she is not a pushy sales person.  She knows what will suit you and she is very honest with her views.
I had a preconceived idea of what I was looking for and she understood this but I was wrong and her option was perfect.  I can’t praise her enough.  My husband and I both felt comfortable and at ease and under no pressure to buy.  The clothes are very comfortable and I feel I have found my perfect outfit for my son’s up and coming wedding.“

“Dear Debra. We just wanted to let you know what a lovely experience you gave me in choosing my outfit for our daughter’s wedding. Your advice was invaluable and to have a choice of three outfits was truly amazing. I will certainly be recommending you to any of my friends who have important functions to attend in the future. I am very much looking forward to the ‘big day’😊. Our daughter said I “looked so, so, so lovely”,  which was a great endorsement. Kind regards, Sonia & Rod King”

“Last weekend I visited Debra at Ann Balon in Cheadle to try on outfits for my sons wedding. When I initially phoned Debra to book an appointment, she filled me with confidence and assured me that she would find me the perfect outfit for the wedding. I was definitely not disappointed when I arrived for my appointment. Debra was very friendly and put me at ease straight away. She cast her professional eye over me and asked me a few questions about style and colours. She picked out a few different styles for me to try on and once I’d chosen the style which suited me best, we then began to choose the right colour for me. Nothing was too much trouble and she genuinely cared that I felt comfortable and was happy with my choice. I absolutely love my outfit and feel very comfortable in it. The whole experience was wonderful from beginning to end and I would highly recommend visiting Debra at Ann Balon if you are looking for a stunning wedding outfit. Thank you so much Debra, you’ve made me happier than I ever imagined.”

“Thank you so much for all your help in finding the perfect dress for a wedding of a friend in Italy this year. An amazing experience. My outfit is a beautiful design and the colour delightful. I will be back for another order for the next big event. A special thank you to you, Debra for your promptness in response and availability- round the clock – from holiday and home! You are very special, and your delivery is spot on!!!”

“What an amazing experience from start to finish. Finding the perfect dress was so hard, as there was such an amazing range of colours and styles. Debra, couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive. I would definitely recommend Ann Balon, for all your shopping needs for your special day.”

“Thank you so much for all your help and for taking the time to see myself and family on the spare of the moment. Your help, guidance and advice was invaluable and made the task of finding an outfit for my upcoming daughter’s wedding effortless. I am thrilled with my beautiful outfit, it fits lovely and I feel extremely comfortable wearing it. From previous experiences finding clothes is not an easy task for me but with your help and assurances in  what suited me and what would look and feel wonderful to wear, I knew I was in safe hands. I am very much looking forward to wearing my beautiful outfit on my Daughter’s wedding day. Thank you again.”

“Hello Debra it’s Ann here from Northern Ireland. I want to thank you very much for all your help with getting me sorted with the blue trouser suit and accessories. I have had 3 occasions to wear it and each time I was so complimented. Your help support and service was just incredible. I wish you continued success with your business I will certainly recommend you to my friends.”

“My name is Linda Carberry. I live in Scotland. My son told me last year that he was getting married. I googled Mother of the Groom and Ann Balon appeared. I instantly fell in love with the all of the outfits / the styles / the lace / the variety in colours. I spoke with Debra who was very professional and helpful. My daughter took me down to England to the Ann Balon store where I was very impressed. I tried on several outfits, all different styles and colours (knowing I was going to walk out with my mother of the groom outfit from there). I got my hatinator and bag from there too. When I got back home I couldn’t stop looking at my outfit. I love it so much that I had to buy another in a different colour and style.”

“Nearly ten years ago, I purchased an Ann Balon outfit for my daughter’s wedding and everyone gave me wonderful feedback. I am a size 3X, so it is difficult to find something very special. We have another family wedding in April and after much searching, I again found the Ann Balon website and decided to make a visit to Cheadle. Although I had not made an appointment, Debra was available and went out of her way to help me choose exactly what I was looking for. She helped me try on various colours and styles – she has a wonderful collection to fit everyone. There was no rush and plenty of space to try everything and adjust the outfit so that it fitted perfectly. The styles, colours and material are extremely flattering and I would highly recommend this brand to any larger lady – you won’t be disappointed. Debra is proud of the family business and offers a highly personal service to her clients. She has a good knowledge of what might be the most suitable outfit for the occasion. She can even deal with unhelpful husbands and offer advice on the best place to eat nearby! Thank you so much, Debra.”

“Hi Debra, I would like to thank you a thousand times for your invaluable help in finding an outfit for my wedding in April. Being an 80 year old bride, who has sadly put the pounds on over the past two years, whilst recovering from a spinal op and a knee replacement, I thought I would never find something I really liked.  But then I found you.  You talked with me and FaceTimed, showing me various outfits you thought would suit me, and then sent me two to try on. They both fitted and I loved them both, but decided on Pamela, in a beautiful metallic shade. I can’t tell you how thrilled and excited I am at the thought of wearing this beautiful creation.  So thank you, so much Debra.  We may be one of the oldest couples to be married recently, but I am sure we will be the best dressed.”

“Being plus sized and in my mid-sixties I no longer find buying clothes as enjoyable as it once was.  In recent months I have been browsing the internet for a suitable MOG outfit; ordering and sending back different styles, sizes, fabrics and colours. I was beginning to despair, when lo and behold, I came across the Ann Ballon website!  A shop on my doorstep specialising in the very outfit I was looking for and empathetically describing glamorous and elegant styles for the fuller figure.

As soon as I spoke with Debra I knew that she would find me the right outfit because she exudes warmth and confidence even over the telephone.  And I was right. Debra was spot on in selecting the best style for my figure and after that I had the delightful dilemma of choosing between the colours she recommended. 

An unexpected surprise is that the shop is also well-stocked with accessories, so to top off the perfect outfit, I have the perfect fascinator too.  Can’t wait for the wedding. 

Many, many thanks Debra for making me feel special again.“

“Dear Debra

Thank you so much for your time and expertise when we came to your shop on Monday. You made us very welcome and at ease. I have wanted an Ann Balon outfit for quite a long time but only being 5ft tall I thought it not possible. I was obviously wrong. I am so pleased with my outfit and look forward to waring it at my granddaughters wedding. Without your help and expertise I would have been hopeless and undecided. Thank you once again for your help and hospitality. It was lovely meeting you!“

‘I wanted something special for my Grandson’s wedding in a few weeks time so contacted Debra . She was incredibly helpful showing me outfits via facetime and giving advise on colours and accessories. I chose a Fortuna 3 piece which was delivered the following day . It looks beautiful and is so comfortable to wear. My three daughters all think it looks great and I even got a WOW from my husband whose usual response is  “yeah that’s alright ” ! 

Thank you so much Debra.’

‘My parcel arrived today – it was very beautifully and carefully packaged thank you.

The whole outfit is absolutely perfect – exactly as described on the website and looks stunning – even with ‘bed hair’ no make up and slippers. I just couldn’t wait to try it on!

I’ll send you photos when I wear it in August and will also send some pics of my other AB outfits! (I’m getting quite a collection here! But they are just timeless and so classy)

Thank you for sorting everything so promptly for me – it is very much appreciated. I do hope you decided to showcase one of your own outfits at your wedding in Portugal! The whole collection is so beautiful.’

‘Thanks to Debra and Ann Balon I managed to get the most beautiful outfit for my daughters wedding. The colour, fit and style were just perfect. Although all the dresses I tried on were beautiful, I ended up picking Carla dress and coat. It flatters my figure and disguises any lumps and bumps! The lace is light and airy, perfect for a summer wedding. I would like to especially thank Debra as she gave me excellent advice with regards colour and style. I am so happy to have sorted my outfit and now I can enjoy the run up to the wedding.Thank you to all at Ann Balon!’

‘Dear Debra

Thank you so much for helping me to purchase my outfit for my son’s wedding in September.

I did not really know what to expect, but you made me feel special and the trouser suit really does look a treat.  I am looking forward to wearing it in September, and will send you a photo on the day where I hope to feel as special as I felt when trying it on.

Thank you!’

‘Hi, Debra,

My hatinator arrived this morning and I can’t tell you how excited I am, it is just so perfect.

I can’t believe I have been able to acquire such a beautiful outfit with just a few emails and phone calls; your service and advice are second to none.

Some years ago I tried on one of your outfits, which at the time wasn’t quite right for the occasion but I was so impressed by it I vowed that some day I would have one, and here we are.

Where I live many occasionwear shops are quite a distance away so the thought of travelling and trying on is quite a chore – so I was delighted to find your online service.

Many thanks for all your help and advice!’

‘Just sending an email to thank you most sincerely for the wonderful experience I had whilst shopping in your store.

I can only say that both you and your beautiful daughter were so professional and kind to me – nothing was a problem and you both went over and above to make sure I was happy with my purchase.

I really love the dress and jacket that I bought, plus hat and bag. It made my life very easy.

As only my son was with me, I really valued your opinions and came home so relieved.

I am looking forward to wearing it for my son’s wedding in April 2024, so all I need is a fine day to show it off to its best.

Thank you again!’

‘I would just like to thank you so much for the great way you looked after us and the time you took finding just the right outfit for me. 

As you know I was looking for a 3 piece and never thought I’d come out with a dress but as soon as I tried it on I knew it was for me. It just felt so comfortable and it’s absolutely gorgeous. 

I was going to wait until the wedding before my daughter saw my outfit but I couldn’t resist trying it on for her. Her words were “I’m so proud of you Mum you look fabulous”

I don’t think we could’ve got a better compliment/testament to your beautiful clothes. 

Thank you seems such a small expression but I hope you know how much it means.‘

“Having initially chatted with Debra over email, I had the pleasure of meeting her at her Cheadle store in the hope of finding the perfect outfit for my daughter’s wedding. 

Debra was absolutely wonderful, she knew exactly what would suit me and quickly selected a number of her beautiful lace designs for me to try. I really was spoilt for choice, and the gorgeous array of colours didn’t make the choice any easier. 

Debra also stocks a beautiful range of colour coordinated bags, fascinators and hats to complete that special look. 

I wasn’t rushed or pressured in any way and left the store knowing I had the perfect outfit. I can’t thank Debra enough for her valuable advice and expertise. Highly recommended!”

“I have purchased several Ann Balon outfits over many years and testament to their timeless quality and style is the fact that they never date nor show signs of wear and tear.  Each time I wear them I  receive wonderful comments about  the elegance of the outfit.  An Ann Balon inspired wardrobe is a wardrobe not only to be proud of but also one that plays to your sense of wellbeing lifting your spirit as soon as you put them on.”
