Hayley Paige
Queen of Genovia
Some gowns simply make demands — and this one demanded nothing less than to be crowned queen.
A Purple Rain satin ballgown with a sweetheart corset bodice, intricate beaded strap accents, a basque waist and a cathedral train. Also available in ivory. Our sample in store is the ivory, so tell us before your appointment if you would like to try the Purple Rain.

How Queen of Genovia is cut
A ballgown is a fitted bodice above a full skirt, and it is the shape that makes people put their drinks down when you walk in. The bodice does the shaping, so the waist looks smaller and the skirt hides everything below it.
It suits anyone who wants the fairytale moment, and it is particularly kind if you would rather not think about your hips all day. Check your venue doorways and your car, and allow for the weight of the skirt over a long day.
Satin has a soft lustre and enough weight to fall properly rather than cling. It photographs beautifully in low light, and it wants a smooth foundation underneath because the surface shows everything.
Trying Queen of Genovia on in Cleveleys
Our samples run from about a UK 8 to a UK 24, and we clip and pad at the back so you can see a gown as it will look made to your measurements. Ask us which size the Queen of Genovia sample is when you book and we will check the rail before you travel.
Appointments are private and the fitting suite is yours for the whole visit, so there is no queue for the mirror and nobody else's party in the room. Bring whoever you actually want an opinion from, and shoes at roughly the heel height you are planning. Find us at 112 Victoria Road West, Cleveleys.
Hayley Paige is the boldest thing we carry. The cuts are modern, the detail is playful, and the gowns tend to look nothing like anyone else's. See the rest of the Hayley Paige gowns we carry.
Ordering and alterations
Queen of Genovia is made to order once you say yes, and the makers we work with generally take six to eight months. Add roughly two months for alterations on top, which is why most of our brides book their first appointment nine to twelve months before the wedding. If your date is sooner than that, say so early: rush orders exist, and our outlet rail carries sample gowns you can take away.
Almost every gown needs altering, and that is normal rather than a sign anything is wrong. A hem, a bustle for the evening and a nip through the bodice are the usual three. Alterations are arranged separately and priced once we can see what your gown needs, so nobody quotes you for work you may not need.
