BBA students launch online fancy dress company for fellow students
Related Links:
Two second year BSc in Business Administration students, Ben Wreford and Sergio Iacobucci, have launched a new fancy dress website, called StandOut Fancy Dress!
Developed largely with the local student population in mind, Ben and Sergio are offering outfits from as little as £9.99 and even offer delivery in the local Bath area for just £1 on selected products. Alternatively, students can collect their purchase from the Bath campus for free. StandOut Fancy Dress also provides costume hire with costumes available from £10 per night.
Having realised themselves how costly buying or hiring fancy dress can be, they came up with the initial idea. They say:
“Being students ourselves, we really appreciate how expensive some fancy dress shops in town are and how pricey buying an outfit can be. Our outfits are much more affordable and you won’t find any over the £19.99 threshold, in fact the majority of them are around the £9.99 mark.”
