Madalie came to me for a vintage wedding dress upcycle. She had her mother’s beautiful 1970’s wedding dress and she wanted to wear it, made anew, for her own wedding day. The dress Madalie brought to our consultation meeting wasn’t the right size or style for her modern wedding day. We agreed to unpick and...

The dress needed to have a vintage, showgirl feel and be really sexy but still realistic as a bridal dress, not many people actually get married in a leotard and feathers! The wiggle skirt with a boned bodice hit all these marks showing off our lovely model, Vanessa?s curves and cinching her waist. I added a teal net petticoat that would show when the high/low hem moved and delicate gold lace detail with Swarovski crystals for showgirl glamour!

When I made this wedding dress in 2017, I wasn`t expecting it to be such a success. It`s been featured in so many bridal photoshoots (I think four or five so far), and every time the styling has been completely different.
It`s so interesting to me how versatile a dress like this can be. All you need is a little imagination. Even though the dress itself was originally designed as a period-inspired piece, it`s been used for an Edwardian Downton Abbey inspired photoshoot, a Victorian gypsy photoshoot and a modern outdoor shoot.
Which version do you prefer?
I`m currently have a sample sale on my Etsy, where this beauty is less than £700. So if you love this dress, grab her whilst you can!

Spring is so close I can almost touch it. And with it will come colour again, finally.
This shoot was about capturing the simple of joy of walking through fields of blossoming flowers, being amongst the delicate scents and soft petals.

"I truly cannot say enough AMAZING things about Felicity and the magical dyed overskirt she made for me! My overskirt is sincerely beyond all expectations and even more." - Ginny, the bride 💕
Ginny wanted colour, and I was more than happy to oblige! Almost a full rainbow (just missing a bit of green), the vibrancy of this dip dye overskirt makes me so happy. This has got to be the bridal version of dopamine dress, right?
Ginny also chose to start the blend higher up than most brides, meaning there`s even more colour than my usual dip dye wedding dresses.
Keep scrolling to see what the skirt looked like on the day ✨️
I can`t wait to see what gorgeous colour combinations my gorgeous brides bring to me this year! What combination would you choose?
Sometimes I get so carried away with making a bespoke wedding dress I completely forget to record the process for you lovely lot! Filming content is fun, but it doesn`t compare to getting lost in the process of a creating.
My Morticia-inspired wedding dress is one of my most popular designs, and I can see why. Sparkly, sexy, figure-hugging, dramatic. Have a look at my previous post to see the *stunning* photos of this one on its bride, especially if you`ve got a gothic wedding in mind.

Let`s all take a moment from our day to marvel at how gorgeous Sophia was in her sparkling black wedding dress. She`s channelling Morticia Addams` dark sensuality so effortlessly. With her husband Colin, providing the perfect Gomez.
Elegant, ethereal and deliciously gothic.
If you want a wedding dress that`s as black as your soul, send me a bat (or a DM, up to you)🦇

I love it when a bride runs, not walks, to my shop, ready for their bespoke journey to begin!
Brides who want unconventional, whilst also looking for a wedding dress that`s elegantly couture, always manage to find me.
No idea too unusual or dramatic. No design too ambitious. Bring on the whimsy!
