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.⁠

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!
