Sale Rail - Photoshoot Dresses for sale

 

From time to time I collaborate on styled shoots with other wedding professionals designing and making dresses as a one off just for the occasion. These photoshoot dresses can be purchased direct from me and are usually priced at about half what it might cost to have the same design made bespoke as a normal commission. They have all been ‘worn once’ for the photoshoot but they are usually perfect or almost perfect. Any imperfections will be described.

You are welcome to visit to try on the dresses before purchasing, or to buy online. Always check your measurements before buying as although I will accept returns for size it’s better to avoid that disappointment if we can! I describe what basic size alterations might be possible in each listing and I am also happy to advise if you have any questions.

I will accept returns within 14 days of delivery, as long as the garment is returned in the same manner and condition is was received. Full terms and conditions for purchase will be sent to anyone buying before completion of a sale.

I found this sheet music in my house, and I was so surprised by what it was 🎹🎵

There’s a music stand in my childhood home, and when I was having a look, I found this: “Three Songs composed by Ethel M. Lightfoot”. And my curiosity was peaked. So I sat down at the piano.

When it comes to reading music, I can play piano and sing a little. Nothing outstanding but enough that I could put the music in front of me and have a go at playing it. And I was surprised to discover that I found it was really easy to sightread and sing. Ethel liked the same key signatures, melodies and intervals as me. The things I wrote in my teens (usually quite a bit more angsty) were really similar in terms of structure. Her themes were different, of course, like “Cradle Song”, where a mother sings to her child about their father being away at war.

Ethel, as it turns out, is my great grandmother. Ethel was a musician, and it was so wonderful to find some of her published work, play it and somehow feel connected to her through our similarities. Somewhere in my blood is Ethel’s love for music, and it was so special to find her sheet music flowing so easily from my fingertips.

I love learning about history generally, but there’s something extra special about learning about your own personal history 💜

Is there something from your family history that you’re particularly proud of?
With leaves starting to change to colour, my thoughts have turned to autumn. So I'm sharing my process for this autumn inspired dip dye wedding outfit;
🍁 deciding I wanted to layer a dip dye overskirt on top of the bridal playsuit
🍁choosing lots of warm, rich colours that make me think of autumn leaves carpeting a forest floor
🍁 cutting the tulle of the skirt to the right length 
🍁 gradually blending each layer of colour, using an ombre of yellow, orange, brown and just a little bit of gold at the end
…and then the finished product!

Doesn't this bridal outfit look right at some in the woods?

If you love the idea of an overskirt for your wedding dress, drop me a DM and let’s talk colour palettes!
