About us

We are a mum and daughter who have lived in Ruthin since 2020.

Robyn has just finished her A Levels and is going to be taking a break from studying and joining me full time for the 2026 season.   My background is in corporate law, primary teaching and 12 years owning and managing a soft play centre.  I opened the play centre when Robyn and her brother Toby were tots, after I identified a gap in the market in our then home town.  

Ffansi Ffrogs brought it full circle - it was Robyn's own prom dress experience in 2023 that highlighted a gap in the market again and inspired us to open Ffansi Ffrogs and encourage people in North Wales to shop locally for Prom.  Our city centre prom shopping experience was underwhelming - the dresses were all wrapped in plastic and squashed together - the shop also offered Bridal and we couldn't help but feel like we were playing second fiddle to the brides.  We came away thinking we could do it better - make it more of an experience because you only get one high school prom, so the memories should start from the first dress appointment.  

Ffansi Ffrogs is young, vibrant, incredibly pink and with only 3 fitting rooms, we are able to offer a highly personal service with lots of individual touches and attention to detail that you just don't get in the huge, impersonal big boutiques.

Not everything was perfect in our first season.  One of the things we really didn't like enjoy was having to tell curvy girls that they couldn't have a particular dress because it didn't go up to their size - if we didn't like it imagine how it felt for them and their families - so we opened an exclusive plus size department, where every dress you see is available from size 18 up to size 30.  It's our aim to break down barriers so that every girl's prom experience is magical! 

We look forward to meeting you all and thank you for supporting our small business,

Wendy and Robyn xx
