Fresh dreaminess at the Exeter boutique
Searching for a gown with whimsical charm or a touch of old-school glamour? You might just find the one among the dreamy new arrivals at Pirouette. Nestled in Exeter’s historic West Quarter, this characterful boutique – set within a 16th-century merchant’s house – is brimming with charm and stocked with styles from award-winning designers Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley and Rebecca Ingram.


Among the standout arrivals is Carmen by Rebecca Ingram, a beautifully romantic gown featuring a beaded, sequined lace illusion bodice, detachable flutter sleeves, and light, swish-worthy skirts—perfect for a garden, barn, or beach celebration in Devon. For a fashion-forward boho vibe, Dakota by Maggie Sottero delivers with its intricate all-over lace, sculpted bodice, and flattering mermaid silhouette. And for something truly statement-making, Belladonna by Sottero & Midgley pairs floral lace with airy tulle, a plunging illusion neckline, sheer bodice, and soft bow – blending timeless romance with modern edge.

Known for their warm, personalised service, the team at Pirouette also offers a sample service: if you fall for a gown online – or are eyeing an alternative colourway – they’ll arrange for a sample to be delivered for you to try on in person.
