About 44 Frocks
Where we started
Our founder, Laura Henson started 44 Frocks in October 2010 out of a desire to help all the other ladies out there like her who love designer dresses but have to pay for things like electricity, food and petrol.
Laura hosted the first 44 Frocks party from her Tower Hill flat where guests drank prosecco in vintage bone china teacups and fell in love with 44 designer dresses.
The Frockettes
The original 44 Frock and teacup collection have grown a little over the last few months:
