Yellow and ivory spring bridesmaids and flower girls for Rachel


Rachel commissioned three silk and tulle dresses for her younger bridesmaids and two shop bought dresses were customised for her grown-up attendants.

The two teen bridesmaids had v-neck ivory silk dupion bodices with wrap-over ruched detailing and a ruched sash. The younger girl had a simple round necked bodice with sash. All the girls had romantic ballet length skirts in layers of gathered ivory tulle over yellow satin.

Style changes for the adult dresses

Rachel found the simple yellow linen shift dresses an brought them to me for style changes. We added a lace layer, keeping the feature cut-out neckline and re-binding all the edges in the original yellow trim. The hems were finished with a pretty scalloped edge for a softer look. I also made the wide wrap around sashes in the same ivory silk as the younger bridesmaids.


I don’t take sizing alterations on anything other than wedding dresses but style changes to bought dresses are welcome as part of a larger dressmaking commission.

Making the Custom flower girl dresses Surrey

Rachel narrowed down her lace choice to just two from my samples book of hundreds. In the end she chose the lace on the right as it was a closer match to the lace for her own bolero.

If there's one thing a bride has to do when starting their bespoke journey...it's trust the process.

Your wedding dress will go through so many stages before it's the dress you dreamed of. There will be fittings where you try on the dress and you think "this isn't what I imagined" - and that's totally fine!

I would encourage you to always speak your doubts to me, there in the room. Or, message me afterwards if that makes you more comfortable. My job is to create the perfect wedding dress for you, and I can only do that if you tell me what you're thinking and feeling.

Sometimes it will mean dramatically changing the design. 
Sometimes it means a subtle adjustment here and there. 
Or sometimes it's just offering reassurance that this is just part of the journey.

Whatever it is, we're on this ride together.

You wouldn't be able to recognise Caitlin's butter yellow wedding dress from her first toile to her final fitting. And she looked even more stunning on the day. Follow along - I'll be posting her wedding photos soon!
I can't wait to show you the photos from this wedding 😍 Mollie ordered a version of my black Morticia wedding dress and then proceeded to get married in Transylvania!

Can you get more gothic than that?? 

This was from our final fitting together. Follow along to see just how drop dead gorgeous Mollie looked on the day 🦇

One of the pleasures of having my own shop, is I also get some alone time.
If you have a busy life you know the rare joy of getting to hang out with just yourself sometimes.

Which isn't to say I don't love welcoming brides into my shop - I absolutely do.
But I don't think I could ever have a colleague in the shop with me (not full time, anyway). 
Not after working for myself for 25 years, and being used to how I like to to do things. 

Isn't that the difference between being alone and lonely. I am alone, but very much not lonely.

Hands up all my introverts! 🙌🏻
"I am so grateful for your contribution to my dress. Everybody loved it."⁠

This custom dip dye overskirt was the perfect pop of colour for Tanja's wedding dress. ⁠And with autumn well and truly here, I wanted to celebrate those beautiful colours.⁠
⁠
Her floor length skirt included:⁠
💛a graduated hi-low hem to match the dress underneath⁠
🧡two layers of soft tulle⁠
🩷hand dyed with four vibrant colours; yellow, orange, red and burgundy⁠
❤️snaps along the waist for easy attachment and removal to the wedding dress⁠
⁠
My bespoke ombre overskirts have so many other customisation options as well. From extra layers of tulle or lining fabric, to finishing off the waistband with ribbon or a pretty beaded belt. And I have over 30 colours to choose from, so there are almost limitless options.⁠
