Just leaving this here...
It`s a passage from a book of interviews with Germans who lived through World War II.
I often describe what I do as Dress Alchemy. But have you ever wondered what I mean when I say that? You might even be a dress alchemist yourself...

This is Nicky, the beautiful bride (and all round beautiful person), who nominated me for the Wedding Industry Awards 🩵✨️ here`s what she said about my work:
"Utterly amazing, Felicity brought to life a bespoke wedding dress for me this year based around words in our first dance song! A true, creative professional with such fine attention to detail, her dresses are glorious, unique works of art."
Such lovely lovely words 🥲
I loved designing and making this sparkly blue wedding dress. And I`m glad she made use of the removable sleeves (they`re fast becoming a favourite design element of mine).
As she mentioned above, Nicky`s dress was designed around the lyrics of a song. Can you guess which one?
(have a look at the previous post to find out if you`re right)

"When I first met you, you looked a lot like Billie Holiday, that blue backless dress, the one with the sequins and the single white gardenia."
Some brides give me mood boards for their wedding dress inspiration. And some brides give me the lyrics to the extended (8 minute!) version of Torch by Soft Cell.

Whilst I was looking up photos of my own wedding dress (it`s my wedding anniversary this week!) I started to think about other pieces of embroidery I`ve done.
I`ve had a lot of weird and wonderful embroidery commissions throughout my years as a dressmaker and seamstress, with some of my earliest work being from almost 20 years ago.
Here`s a little selection. Until I put them all together, I didn`t realise how varied they are!
1 - fuchsias and vines for above mentioned wedding dress
2 - one of many purple butterflies I sewed across another wedding dress
3 - a church based commission for two stoles
4 - this wonderful art deco-inspired piece for a green wedding dress
5 - another bridal butterfly from 2006
6 - a waistcoat for a priest with the nativity scene
7 - climbing ivy on a blue silk maternity dress
8 - this bride wanted lots of little embroidered details on her dress that had personal significance to her; including her dog
9 - the other stole from the church commission
Which is your favourite?
