I’m working hard on my summer bridal commissions at the moment.
Although several of the brides first approached me over a year ago, the time does pass really quickly and the final fit is rarely carried out less than two months before the wedding day.
If you are recently engaged and contemplating having a unique, bespoke dress designed for you for your wedding in 2027, now is the time to get in touch for an initial consultation

Cool in the summer, warm in the winter.

The very first stages of a new design. It might not look like much, but it’s going to be the tulle base for a “collage” of antique lace motifs which will become the bodice of the dress.
I’m not making a pattern. I’m going to hand sew the base together while it’s still on the stand. Then, once I’ve restored the antique lace, and brought the colour back closer to the original, I’ll arrange and hand sew all the motifs together. Making it up as I go along (although I have a plan !)
What fun!

India’s dress may seem simple, but every detail, from the cut of the neckline, the flare of the skirt, to the choice of lace trim on the bodice and veil….was carefully considered.
This is the mark of a truly bespoke dress. It’s made for you alone.
You’ll find that a “simple” dress is anything but

Embroidery on an antique linen tablecloth was carefully positioned onto the skirt, traced with bold pen onto calico so it was clearly visible during the fitting.

My pinboard of various bits and pieces that catch my eye. Constantly changing and completely random, but curiously always seeming to have a common thread holding them together when I pin them up.
