I`m so happy Ella chose me to elevate her already lovely @catherine__deane bridal skirt from @the_little_bridal_boutique. ⁠
⁠
For this subtle dip dye, I used a wet dye technique, instead of my usual spray approach. The two colours blended so beautifully together 💛🧡 I think the skirt looks like the petals of a flower, but I can`t put my finger on which one.⁠

All these lovely words are from my Google reviews. I received some of the most gorgeous feedback in 2025, and every one made me feel so warm inside 🥰⁠
⁠
If we worked together last year, then I`d love to hear what you thought of the process and the outcome. You can find my Google Business page just by googling `Felicity Westmacott`. ⁠

The cusp between the old year and the new year is always a time for reflection. For me, at least. Looking back at the things achieved, and looking forward to what else might be in store.⁠
⁠
One of my favourite projects this year was costuming again at the Archway Theatre. The play was Nell Gwynn, which is set during the Restoration period. Some plays allow for some artistic license when it comes to historically costuming, but for this one, my aim was to be as period (and class) accurate as possible.⁠
⁠
My original training was in costume design for theatre, and even though it isn`t a huge part of what I do now (although I often use the same skills when creating a wedding look), I do love it when I get to stretch those muscles.⁠ A gift from the past, still making itself useful to me now.⁠
⁠
Much of my time was spent coordinating outfits, with the use of incredible costume store of my good friend, Elizabeth Callow. Due to most garments being varying degrees of old and worn, I spent many hours altering and mending too. In total I had about thirty costumes to put together. But I also found the time to make a few pieces, including Nell`s pink raw silk gown.⁠
⁠
I had a lovely time working with all those sumptuous, brocaded fabrics 😍⁠ which costume is speaking to you the loudest?⁠
