"Wouldn’t be every using this place again! Not only did the owner make inappropriate comments but the amount of pressure selling was shocking! Wanted a dress for a wedding and was pressured sold items that have labels in saying they are display items. Items were put in my bag I said I didn’t want and out through the till with out my knowledge as they begged the items up when I was in the fitting rooms. This shop prays on vulnerable people and also don’t tell you that you can’t return items for the price you paid if you get home and done like them. You can only get shop credit . It’s a customers prerogative to change their minds but as they don’t tell you, you can’t return items before you purchase them. Trapping you into a sale. Avoid this shop at all costs! The must have had the till ringing in their ears seeing me walk through the door! Putting thing in my shopping bag behind my back is the lowest form of selling I know!"

"Not being a slim person I was concerned i would not find an outfit and i was worried about being judged. I was made to feel amazing during my appointment. I absolutly lovedy outfit and matching hatinator. Thankyou so much the staff at Michael Bailey Bedford Amazing experience"

"What a kind man. After my mums mother of the bride dress being ruined by a tailors at home I gave Michael a call to see if he had a certain dress in stock. Michael went above and beyond he checked his stock but he also checked for the dress in stock elsewhere. When the dress was sold out Michael even checked to see if there were any of the original dress my mum had bought in stock anywhere. He also suggested some other dresses my mum might like. Such a helpful and kind service. Thank you so much for helping us in our hour of need!"

"Wouldn’t recommend , staff need to smile more first of all ! Bought a dress and jacket £750 , dress altered , Jacket should have been too but that was not offered . When I picked up the dress it was just handed to me and I put it on at home and it was still too big , should really have tried it on in the shop while I was there. I did not feel free to ask to try the dress on before I left the shop or take it back when it was still too big . I felt judged and uncomfortable here. The jacket was far too big and I didn’t actually wear it with the dress ."

"Was blown away by the service and level of knowledge by Michael today. Michael picked out a number of outfits for me to try but was absolutely certain that the first one I tried would be the one and how right he was. His eye for knowing what will suit someone is outstanding and I came away from the shop on cloud nine with a dress, hat, shoes and a bag for my son's wedding. I now can't wait to wear it all! Huge thanks to everyone at Michael Bailey for making this such an amazing experience."
