We Are An Online Independent Ladieswear Boutique, Run By A Family Team.

Our story began in 2009 with pop-up events and personalised at-home shopping experiences across the East Midlands. In 2012, Stick & Ribbon opened its first boutique in Flying Horse Walk, Nottingham, and over the years we’ve enjoyed being part of the city’s vibrant retail scene, with stops in Bridlesmith Walk, Cobden Chambers, and Bridlesmith Gate.

In March 2025, with a strong online presence already in place, we made the exciting decision to step away from the high street and focus fully on our growing online business and personalised styling services. We continue to connect with our local community through regular events and pop-up shops across the East Midlands – sign up to our newsletter to stay in the loop!

As a small, family-run business, we pride ourselves on offering a truly personal experience. Our team specialises in colour and style analysis, helping you find pieces that complement your unique style, body proportions, and colouring. We believe in celebrating individuality and are passionate about helping you highlight your best features and feel confident in your personal style.

As Seen On...

Style, It's All In The Name

Ever looked in the mirror and felt like something just doesn’t look right, but you can’t quite put your finger on it?

That’s where our style consultations come in.

We use our trademarked Stick & Ribbon method to help you understand your unique body proportions, not by labelling you as an “apple” or a “pear,” but by looking at the real structure of your body. It’s a simple, powerful approach that transforms how you dress and how you feel, often making you look taller and slimmer.

Stick & Ribbon, More Than a Fashion Retailer

At Stick & Ribbon, we understand that looking and feeling your best begins with knowing yourself. Our styling services are crafted to help you turn the frustration of a full wardrobe into a purposeful, joy-filled experience. Whether you’re searching for a polished everyday look or a head-turning outfit for a special event, our expert team is here to guide you, combining creativity with practical insight to illuminate your unique style.

One-to-One Style Consultation

Allowing you to build a styling experience as individual as you are. Choose from a palette of options, from Colour Analysis that teaches you which shades bring out your natural radiance, to Body Proportions Analysis (using the beloved “stick and ribbon” technique) that highlights your silhouette’s strengths, to Style Analysis that helps define your personal sartorial DNA. We also offer wardrobe edits, alterations, and personal shopping, each designed to bring ease, clarity, and confidence to every outfit decision

Group Style Sessions

Prefer a shared experience? Our group styling sessions bring friends, colleagues, or communities together for uplifting and interactive style parties, workshops, and colour-or-proportion clinics. Expect plenty of laugher, meaningful insights, and fresh confidence, as you learn not just about yourself, but also from others in a warm, supportive setting.

Events

Stick & Ribbon events are more than just shopping, they’re a chance to experience curated style in person. Held across the East Midlands, each event invites you to browse our latest collections, discover new outfit ideas, find the perfect piece, and enjoy a one-on-one style chat with Sally.

To ensure our offering matches the setting, we carefully choose venues that complement our collections, creating a welcoming and immersive environment where fashion comes to life.
