"Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel confident in their own skin — my mission for 808 Threads is to provide women with outfits in their size so they can embrace their bodies and strengthen their confidence.

Our regular clients are a testament to this body positive approach as their confidence has evolved. It's an honour that I am able to be side-by-side with them and be part of their journey toward self-love.”

Client Testimonials

Alexia was so kind and helpful! She suggested some dresses for me to try on but let me choose what I liked the most which I really appreciated! She made my mum and I feel so welcomed and we’ll definitely be going back. You could really see her love and passion for the industry and how much she loves to help people find the right dress, which was so comforting and helpful! Definitely would recommend 🤗💕

What a wonderful experience! Having been to one other hire shop with very little choice—and very high prices—I was feeling pretty despondent about finding something for a black tie event. Lexi made me feel comfortable right from the start and had a great choice of dresses. She let me choose a few to try and then suggested one to try - it was absolutely perfect and I felt fabulous on the night. The price was very reasonable, I would thoroughly recommend her, can’t wait to hire another dress!

Wow! Had such a fantastic experience at 808 Threads last night! A great selection of dresses for all different shapes & sizes. Alexia was wonderful - very helpful & understanding. I am looking forward to wearing the dress I chose. I’ll definitely be back!

Bec M

Great choice of dresses and accessories, a friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices but most of all Alexia was amazing. She was very friendly, efficient and helpful. Looking forward to the next function so I can return! I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Kate R

I can't recommend Alexia and 808 Threads enough! Very easy process to hire. VERY good price for hire and great selection. Will definitely use them again! Finally a dress hire option for people over size 12!

Kate S

Such lovely dresses, so much choice and size range was excellent. I tried a few dresses and then Alexia suggested one! This dress was "the one”, I would never have picked it for myself but I love it! I can’t wait for my event now - thanks for making hiring a dress so easy!

Emma J

Absolutely amazing! Alexia made the whole experience so easy and fun and was so helpful to find the right dress. With such a huge selection of dresses, it is easy to find one for every occasion.
