Happy New Year to you!

Well 2018 is over and I look forward to another year of wedding dress-making and designing! 

Huge congratulations if you got engaged over the festive season! Exciting times ahead for you!

What will you choose to wear for your big day? What have you always wanted to wear? Something soft and flowing? A huge ballgown style? Tailored and sophisticated? Trousers? Lots of feminine lace and twinkles? I can help by creating the dress or outfit of your dreams!

If you are now a bride to be, or a mother of the bride or groom and are thinking of having a custom wedding dress or outfit made for your special day or event, you are in the right place. I offer an award winning bridal design and wedding dressmaking service, and I recently won my category of Dressmaker and Designer for the 3rd time in the Four Counties Wedding Awards.



Looking back, I now have nearly 19 years of experience making bespoke bridal gowns and have probably made close on 1000 dresses or outfits for my brides and their guests – phew! I still enjoy it as much as ever – more in fact, as I have become more experienced.

Having a bespoke dress made is a brilliant experience. You can let your imagination run wild and have whatever you like designed and created (as long as it’s achievable), or you can embrace your classic self and stick to a more traditional look. Whatever works for you is how I like to approach your design. I am there to advise and guide you towards a look that will work perfectly for you, no matter how simple or elaborate, and to create the end design to fit you perfectly and feel fantastic.

Last year I wrote a post about the benefits of choosing a bespoke designed, custom made wedding dress, which many brides found useful when considering a bespoke wedding dress or outfit.

I specialise in bespoke wedding dresses, but I also have a small range of wedding dresses available in my studio for bride to view and order as in a shop – the difference being that I am making the dress for you as a made to measure item, and you, the bride, have the choice to adapt the design if you wish. Perhaps you might want a different fabric or lace, or to change the colour or neckline? If it works for the design, I am happy to adapt the design to suit you and your taste.

If you’d like to find out more about my service, have a look at my website or read through this blog. If you’d like to make an appointment to see me, you can email me or message me through social media. I really look forward to hearing from you and discussing ideas together!

 Xx

Not drowning, but waving...

OK, I was recently reading one of my favourite blogs The Coffee Lady and she used a great excuse for not posting regularly and referred to her last post of a few weeks back as 'just then'. Her excuse was that time travels faster as you age, to which I thought, how true is that? And decided to borrow that same excuse for myself! So in my last post 'just then' what was I on about? Showing you Hannah's winter wedding I think. Well quite a lot has happened since then, wedding work and otherwise. The thing with blogging is choosing what to share and what not to share. I'm sure many people like to read only promotional stuff or choose to write only 'happy' stuff, and that must be wonderful if it works for you, but I find that style paralysing for many reasons, not least because when one is a creative type, (I prefer the word 'bohemian' at present, but more on that another time! ;)) one is influenced and motivated by everything around one, a

A few posts back I showed you some pics of Jo - one of my summer brides and her dress as it was being made. I want to quickly revisit Jo and show you some more of her pictures, purely because they make me smile - she looks so relaxed and happy *sigh* :o) Before I forget, all the following pictures are courtesy of Kerpixel . Here she is walking towards the ceremony with her Dad... These next set of pictures are what I call the 'swishing series'! All systems ready... Preparing for take-off... We have lift off! Circling... And rest... A close up of the back detail  The happy couple! I will visit this wedding one more time with some cute bridesmaid shots, but I'll save those for another day.

Handsewing

The way I work often involves lots of hand sewing, and this bespoke wedding dress was no exception. I listened to the whole of The Private Patient by P.D. James while working on attaching the lace motifs to this dress this week - that's a reasonably long story. It was quite satisfying because both the sewing and the story finished within minutes of each other! It looks lovely and is virtually finished for the final fitting next week. I'll be able to show and tell more at a later date. :-)
