Bridesmaid Dresses for Vicky

Pretty dresses in ice blue silk dupion with ivory sashes. The boned bodices have sweetheart necklines with a ‘ballet pinch’. The knee length skirts are cut full and hang over layers of netting.?Two of the dresses were made strapless and the third with straps, as the girls felt best suited their figures.

Worn without the under petticoat, the dress still looks very pretty, just less puffy!

The last picture shows the one of the dresses worn without it's petticoat (they were made removable) and it still looks very pretty, just a bit less puffy!

I have also been meaning to say thank you so much for all your effort and help. You really were a god send and managed to make my dream bridesmaid dresses come alive and everybody commented on them, just as much as my dress. They really were beautiful and I am sure you agree the girls looked amazing in them. They really helped the day come together and I was so pleased with them and your service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. But thank you so so much, you were excellent and I could not have got such a great service and beautiful dresses anywhere else.

In order for a bride to look beautiful and serene as they walk down the aisle, some thought has to go in to make sure that her dress is sitting just right.

Most of the time when I make bespoke wedding dresses, I`m not there on the day. But sometimes the dresses can be tricky to put on. If the bride`s team aren`t with her during her final fitting, they`re not going to know how to make sure her dress is done up correctly and ready for the aisle. Especially if there are multiple layers, or corsets to tighten. So here`s a little look into how I guide a bride`s dresser.

I go step by step through the process, carefully explaining how each layer does up, and giving any tips I think would be useful.

This particular video wasn`t for a bridal party, but for a shoot organiser. In the past I`ve sent dresses away to shoots and only after receiving the photos do I realise the dress was put on wrong! So now I make sure to arm the organisers with the knowledge they need. It`s always good to learn from your mistakes!

Looking at the different between the dress on the mannequin and on the model makes me think: wedding dress really come alive once its on a bride. Don`t you agree?
