Frock horror for 183 brides

THE owners of a bridal shop that shut unexpectedly, leaving almost 200 brides-to-be in tears, last night said they were confident close to 100 customers would have their gowns within 24 hours.

By last night, 56 dresses had been delivered by courier and the company’s solicitor, Eugene Carey, said he expected another 30 dresses to be delivered today.

Other customers may have to wait until a liquidator is appointed to The Wedding Dress Ltd before learning the fate of their wedding gowns.
