Flower girl Dresses for Emma

Flower girl dresses by Felicity Westmacott, ivory duchess satin and soft tulle with coffee ribbon sashes

Emma commissioned me to make two dresses for her nieces to wear as bridesmaids.
The dresses are in a classic modern style. The bodices are made from ivory duchess-satin with a wide boat neckline and concealed zip fastening at the back. The skirts are made from three layers, soft ivory tulle on top, supported by a layer of ivory dress net and lined with a plain ivory lining to prevent little girls getting ‘scratchy’ legs. The dresses were finished with coffee coloured sashes in simple satin ribbon.

This sheer tulle overdress is embroidered from neckline to hem with wildflowers in red and lilac, trailing leaves that climb up and down from the waist like something grown, not made. Beaded droplets catch the light along every seam of the train - dew picked straight from the meadow. 🍃

A high neckline, delicate button-and-loop back, and cold-shoulder sleeves finished with beaded drops make this one for the bride who wants whimsy with a wild edge.

This is a photoshoot sample - one of a kind, in excellent condition, and listed at more than half the retail price. Worn here over an ivory slip, but this overdress can also be styled alone or with one of my dip-dye underskirts, for a pop of colour beneath the tulle.

I originally made this wedding dress for a cultural fusion styled shoot. 

It's made from the fabric of two fuchsia pink lehengas, carefully disassembled and rebuilt to fit my design. It mattered to me to source genuine fabric from an Indian seller — nothing compares to the quality and detail of the real thing.

Designing this dress meant finding the perfect balance between traditional Indian textiles, British bridal silhouettes, and a few modern touches of my own. A fusion across geography and time. ✨

If there are parts of your culture and heritage you want present in your wedding dress, then drop me a message. I love cultural fusion, so getting to work with brides with varied and beautiful backgrounds is always such a pleasure.
