For Zoe`s wedding dress alterations, I lifted the shoulders, reset and narrowed the sleeves, and made the cuffs smaller. I also added bust pads in the front for security and coverage.⁠
⁠
It wasn`t that much compared to the work I do on some wedding dresses. Sometimes you just need to change a few things here and there, to feel comfortable and beautiful on your wedding day.⁠
⁠
And, as a bonus, after working with Zoe on her alterations, her mum then also booked in for some bespoke work. It always feels especially lovely when I receive work through recommendations 🥰⁠
⁠
If your wedding is coming up and your dress needs a little adjustment or a major change, drop me a DM and let me work my magic ✨️⁠

Come away to an intimate wedding in the countryside...⁠
⁠
The wedding we wanted to evoke in this shoot is for a bride and groom who want to keep things simple and small. ⁠
⁠
The venue, Chafford Park, has just been newly renovated and is available for dry hire. Personally, I love a dry hire because it means you can treat it like a blank canvas, making it into whatever you want.⁠
⁠
The wedding dress I provided is made of ivory silk georgette (or chiffon) and lace. The style feels both modern and vintage, with lots of lovely textures and a lace up corset bodice. Simple, yet effortlessly elegant. I also made a lace and tulle overskirt, to give more options when frolicking.⁠
⁠
(top tip: make sure you scroll through to the hand-painted macaroons - I`m obsessed!)⁠
⁠
Would you use a dry hire for your wedding?⁠

The second shoot I`m featuring for this week`s Pride celebrations includes a real queer couple and a dress with a rainbow on it - you can`t get more Pride than that!⁠
⁠
Our two brides are looking absolutely gorgeous and absolutely in love in this slightly more subtly rainbow themed shoot. What else can I say? They just look so perfect together.⁠
⁠
If you`re looking for a friendly, welcoming and open-minded seamstress for your dress, then look no further. I want to celebrate everything that you are on your big day - including making you the perfect outfit. Just drop me a DM, I`d love to hear from you 💜⁠

This Pride month I`m featuring real LGBTQ+ couples I`ve had the pleasure of working with over the years 🌈⁠
⁠
Nathalie commissioned me to dip dye her wedding dress with this fiery colour scheme and I love how it matches her hair.⁠
⁠
This couple, armed with their swords, look like real life battle maidens. Or fantasy book characters...enemies to lovers, anyone?⁠
⁠
Plus their cake topper also featured a tiny version of the dip dye dress 😍⁠
⁠
Tempted by a dip-dye wedding dress but would rather not have your actual dress coloured? I can create a custom overskirt for you, with up to 5 colours - check out my Etsy page (link in my bio) for more info.⁠
