I`ll let Emma explain her alteration journey with me in her own words:
"Thank you so much for the alterations to my wedding dress. I came to you with a dress that didn’t really fit me properly. Having a larger cup size you did your magic and made the dress fit me. Couldn’t recommend enough, so much knowledge and attention to detail. I absolutely loved the alterations to the back and it looked amazing. Thank you for making me feel confident in my dress. Would recommend to anyone."
Emma needed extensive alterations. With her bigger bust and narrow hips, it was unlikely she was going to find an off-the-rail dress that was going to fit perfectly in all the right place. So that`s where I came in!
I took in the dress where it was too big, around the hips and waist. For the bust, I had an extra challenge, since Emma`s dress was backless, so I had less to work with. I added cups for support, and boning for a smooth shape. After a few more structural changes, I finished off with some lace on the straps, for both support and because it looks so pretty.
I think Emma`s words say it all really 🥰 thank you Emma, for trusting me with your wedding dress alterations. You look absolutely beautiful!
I still have some bridal alternations slots for the first half of 2026, so drop me a message to grab one!

🍋La Dolce Vita in Dorking🍋
How lovely to have a destination wedding on your own doorstep. That was the aim of this styled wedding photoshoot - we wanted to bring a slice of Italy to Surrey. A slower way of life, enjoying the small pleasures; the bright yellow of a lemon, the sun of your skin and bringing together of two people who love each other.
I provided two looks for this shoot; my Poinsettia dress and a simple satin shift with a lace capelet. All the drama for the ceremony, and something a little more comfortable to relax in afterwards.

Vintage elegance with modern tastes 💜
This Bridgerton-inspired wedding dress is now for sale 🥳 I`m currently clearing space in my shop in Dorking, so I have extra room to create even more unique, unusual and quirky wedding dresses.
You can find the outfit on my Etsy (link in bio), where you can purchase either the whole set (dress, bolero, dip dye overskirt), or just the base dress. The stays (corset) and petticoat shift I made specifically to go with this dress are also up there - having the shapewear that would have been used during the period really adds to creating an authentic silhouette.
Tag someone who would look perfect in this outfit!
I love a Mother of the Bride who radiates style ✨️
For her daughter`s wedding day, Tracey wanted something special. So I designed this bespoke three piece ensemble in a stunning electric blue satin and sequin beaded tulle. She wanted the whole set to look both formal and relaxed, with the materials we chose elevating the simple shapes of the design.
And she found a hat that matched our shade of blue perfectly!
Some of my favourite features include:
🔹the key-hole back with a covered button
🔹the wide-legged trousers that look like a skirt
🔹the asymmetrical cut away front of the jacket
Making something completely one-of-a-kind for a MOTB on such a special day is always a joy. If you would like something unique, flattering and in exactly the style you want, drop me a DM!
“I cannot stop thinking of you. From the mornings you ease, to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit, my thoughts of you never end.”
Who doesn`t want to run away from the world for a while? To take their lover by the hand and find a moment of quiet; to dance, to read, to hold each other.
The romance between Daphne and Simon in Bridgerton was so electric. Even though they had a wedding in the series, I wanted to re-imagine the wedding dress Daphne would have worn, adding a bit more personality and colour into a classic Regency silhouette.
I wanted to keep the brilliant combination of old and new design elements the show does so well. So, along with the empire line waist, square neckline and boned stays (corset), I used modern fabrics like tulle, beaded lace and shantung. And, of course, the pink and lilac dip dye skirt.
Could you see this dress on the next season of Bridgerton?
If the attraction you feel to this dress is as strong as Simon`s attraction to Daphne, then it`s currently on sale in my shop (link in bio). There`s only one, so grasp it whilst you still can, before it finds another lover!
