Lou commissioned a simple Kimono style dress in soft sand-coloured silk satin to wear for her wedding day. This dress was worn for a wedding day but was made to an evening dress budget, and so was not lined. The dress has a high boat-neckline and is loose fitting but pulled in at the waist...
Whether it’s a fifties flirt or a demure tea-length wedding dress, shorter dresses have had a real come-back recently. It makes a change from always dealing with full length and trains! Here is a selection of dresses I have made where the bride has opted to show off her pretty ankles – or more! Examples...

A call to all Mother of the Brides (to be)!
If you`re struggling to find the perfect outfit for the big day, then getting something completely bespoke, made to fit your body and style, may be the right choice for you.
I have one slot left at the end of April, if you`d rather get going sooner rather than later. After that I have slots available in June, July and August for weddings happening in late summer or autumn.
For this mother of the bride I created this beautiful deep navy silk velvet dress, complete with diamante bows.
It`s always a pleasure to design and create a Mother of the Bride (or Groom) outfit that is not only in keeping with the wedding`s theme, but also reflects the personality of the MOB 💜
Step 1: meet the bride-to-be, and discuss her vision. Shapes, fabrics, themes, colours, all of it!
Step 2: making! With regular fittings to make sure everything is perfect.
Step 3: the big day 💜

"I had been looking for the dress of my dreams for a couple of years. Felicity made it happen. I loved how creative and knowledgeable she is. I was always made to feel comfortable to ask and specify what I really wanted.
The process was relaxed (once I finally found the lace I wanted) and really enjoyable. The dress is perfect. It was comfortable to wear and Felicity thought of everything. She is reliable, trustworthy and brilliant at what she does.
I wish I had more dresses to be made but him being the love of my life, I will have to settle with one wedding dress only."
This is exactly what I hope for in an experience with a bride, so I`m thrilled to get a review like this!
If you feel you can trust me with your wedding dress as well, make sure to drop me a message 💜

"Can I just say a massive thank you for my dress. I absolutely loved it and I had so many compliments."
Isn`t Andie such a glamorous mother of the bride? It`s giving red carpet couture.
For her daughter`s wedding, Andie wanted a classic, elegant silk dupion dress. Once we picked out this gorgeous colour (called Strawberries and Cream from @bennett_silks), I pleated and folded the fabric to give this figure-hugging statement silhouette.
A wedding is a significant day for parents as well, so it was wonderful to be able to create a dress for Andie that really spoke to her style and personality.
I still have some slots for mother of the bride (or groom) bookings this year, so drop me a message if you want something extra special for such an extra special day.
