About us

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

Robyn is currently studying for A levels and is undecided as to what will come next.   My background is in corporate law, primary teaching and most recently, 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.  

Now it's come 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, with lots of individual touches and attention to detail that we just don't think you get in the city or the huge, impersonal boutiques.  

Thanks to everyone who supported us for Prom 2024, we are so fortunate to be in a position in our second season to be opening a new, bigger boutique and not only that, but to offering an exclusive plus size department to make sure that every prom experience is magical and something to remember for all the right reasons!  One of the things we really didn't like last year 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 - in our new exclusive plus size department, every dress you see is available from size 18 up to size 26 and often 30.

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

Wendy and Robyn xx
