Blush and Grey Bespoke Bridal Separates Surrey

Case 1 Wedding separates bride modern alternative blush and grey tulle

I made this set of bespoke bridal separates Surrey. Holly commissioned a modern and romantic two piece ensemble in dove grey and blush pink.

The sleeveless boatneck top is made from pale pink matt crepe-silk. I ensured the waterfall back detail reveals the shiny satin side of the fabric in alternate flashes. Cut to just skim the feature waistband of the skirt below and occasionally reveal Holly’s amazingly toned stomach as she moves. It fastens with a single covered button and loop on a gentle v-back neckline. I cut the tulle skirt as a full circle so it is floor length from the natural waistline in three layers of softest grey tulle and satin back crepe. The waistband is shaped at the back to a soft point with matching covered buttons and loops that peek out as the waterfall back swings open.

Having a bespoke wedding dress made, whether it is modern separates or a classic dress with lace beading and a button back is a sure way to get exactly the dress you want. When I make a bespoke dress for one of my clients I start with a comprehensive set of measurements. I then create a unique dress pattern to fit this bride. I series of fittings, starting with a ‘toile fitting’, which is a practice run in cheap fabrics, ensures a perfect fit. Extra details like hand beading or embroidery can always be included.

Jemma had her wedding anniversary party coming up and wanted to restyle her wedding dress into something new and fun.

She brought in her wedding dress and told me about her planned party outfit being a gorgeous magenta jumpsuit. So my challenge was to figure out how to blend these two, quite contrasting styles, into one look.

As we talked through her options, we landed on a custom dipdye overskirt with an open front. This would mean she could keep the drama of the dress train, and the beauty of the sequined lace, whilst also being able to dance to her heart’s content.

For the dipdye, she chose to reverse the usual order of colours, going from darkest at the top, to lightest travelling down, in purples and pinks to compliment the jumpsuit.

I unpicked the lace layer from the original dress, hand dyed the tulle, and added it underneath the skirt. For a final touch, I sewed on some pretty scalloped lace around the waistline to create the join with Jemma’s jumpsuit.

I love seeing a wedding dress continuing its life beyond its wedding day. This was such a brilliant idea, and the result is so vibrant and playful.

Has your wedding dress had a second life since the big day?
