What Happened to Blouse and Skirt After Dragons’ Den?

Blouse and Skirt appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 2. The business was a fashion make-up brand for ethnic skin tones. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.

The Pitch

Beverly Binda walked into the Den in 2009 with a fashion make-up brand for ethnic skin tones. They were asking for £100,000.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Beverly Binda left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Blouse and Skirt did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010 — just a year after appearing on the show.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Blouse and Skirt Still Available?

No. Blouse and Skirt Cosmetics Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
