Appointments and visiting the shop

At Karen Forte you do not need an appointment to come and browse our collections. However if you do, it allows us to ensure you have a one-on-one consultation with one of our style advisors. They can show you through the collections, advising with colours and styles, and provide you with accessories to match your outfit.

The shop has disabled access and all the occasion wear is on the ground floor. Cocktail and evening dresses are upstairs. There is a large carpark to the rear of the shop.

The collections 

Our Autumn and Winter collections usually start arriving in July through until September/October.

Our Spring and Summer collections usually arrive from January until April.

It is advisable to pop in regularly when collections are arriving if you are looking for something special because they do sell quickly.

We stock collections by many different designers to provide a variety of styles, fabrics, and colours. We have dresses and jackets, three piece suits, single dresses, tops, trousers, skirts, wraps, jackets, bags, shoes, fascinators, hats, and jewellery.

An in-house alteration service is also available.
