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.

“Felicity listened to what I wanted, gave a clear quote and completed the alterations so nobody could see them. Clear booking system as well. Would recommend.”⁠

Sometimes it takes a little adjustment here and there to make a wedding dress feel like it was made for you, and sometimes a dress needs a more dramatic transformation. Either way, I'm here to help.⁠
⁠
If you're interested in getting your dress altered for this year, I'm currently booked up until the beginning of October. So if your wedding is November onwards and your dress doesn't feel quite right yet, drop me a message. But don't wait too long - spaces are filling up fast.⁠
⁠
You can always book in a no-obligation consultation with me, to see if I would be the right fit for you and your dress - link in bio.⁠

Sure, my usual role is a bespoke wedding dress maker, creating beautiful and unique garments for brides looking for something a little different. 

But sometimes I'm also a lighting assistant, a caterer, a last-minute-rush-to-the-shopper. That's the fun of being a creative, working with other creatives. 

This was from a styled photoshoot I organised, based on the iconic 90s film, Strictly Ballroom. I made these dazzling neon bridesmaids outfits based around the stunning costumes of Latin ballroom dancers. Our photographer really wanted the colours to pop in the atmospheric darkness of our location, so of course I volunteered myself as floor level tripod 😂

The photos turned out amazing, so it was definitely worth it!

Have you ever found yourself doing a job you never expected?

"Just a very quick note from Rome to let you know how very admired your dress was. Lots of people said how beautiful it was. It really was the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. I definitely would like to work out how to potentially wear it again - I can’t bear the thought that I’ll never wear it again!

Thank you again - you truly are an alchemist!"

All the quiet hours designing, cutting, sewing and hand-stitching were all worth it, just to hear a bride so happy with her wedding dress. 

Want to see what this dreamy dress looked like on the day? I'll be posting the official wedding shots later this week. You won't want to miss this one, I promise you. This gown has quickly become a new favourite of mine 💙
