I was privileged to be asked to lead a course for young people on behalf of the charity âThe Muslin Trustâ hosted by the London College of Fashion. My aim was to guide the students in creating period accurate muslin Regency gowns. The project was created to showcase muslin fabric traditionally hand woven in Bangladesh...
The inspiration for this bespoke regency Bridgerton wedding dress was Daphneâs debutante gown during her presentation to Queen Charlotte in Series 1 of the show.â Although Season 1 Daphneâs colours are blue, in Series 2 she wears a lot more pink. I decided I wanted to work with some beautiful, deep pink satin, so that...
Dearest Gentle Reader,â It has come to this authorâs attention that a passionate affair took place at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, that would make even the most confident of rakes blush.

I made these each of these custom bridesmaid dress in Surrey. Eleanorâs five bridesmaids all wore the same style in a mix and matched range of four colours. I used rose pink, pale pink, ivory and gold to create a pretty and spring like colour scheme. Official Wedding pictures by Sebastian Lomas The style was...
Amanda came to me in 2009 to have a bespoke regency wedding dress made. I designed her a dress in pale gold silk satin with an ivory/gold beaded lace top layer. I created a lightly boned bodice with square neckline and high waistline seam with contrast band. The softly draping skirt spreads to a train...
Rachel contacted me wanting a bespoke early 1910s inspired bridal look. Of all the brides Iâve worked with, she was the one who wanted the dress to be the most historically correct. Although not exact (for example, we didnât include any corseting), she wanted a period accurate silhouette. During our chats, consultations and fittings I...

I can`t wait to show you the photos from this wedding đ Mollie ordered a version of my black Morticia wedding dress and then proceeded to get married in Transylvania!
Can you get more gothic than that??
This was from our final fitting together. Follow along to see just how drop dead gorgeous Mollie looked on the day đŚ

These photos from Stevie never cease to make my jaw drop. They`re like a gorgeous combination of Morticia Adams, Vampira and the iconic Bride of Frankenstein.â
â
Stevie saw the original Morticia dress I`d made for a styled wedding shoot and wanted one of their own, with a few adjustments to make it completely unique to them.â
â
I`ve made four of the Morticia wedding dress now, following the first photoshoot version, and each time it`s such a thrill to see brides who are unapologetically themselves, looking so breath-taking.â
â
I`ll be sharing a sneak peek of the most recent version soon. I can`t wait to show you the photos from that wedding too đ°đ¸ď¸đ¤â
â
If this Morticia-inspired wedding dress is calling your name, you can find it on my Etsy (link in the bio)đŚâ

One of the pleasures of having my own shop, is I also get some alone time.
If you have a busy life you know the rare joy of getting to hang out with just yourself sometimes.
Which isn`t to say I don`t love welcoming brides into my shop - I absolutely do.
But I don`t think I could ever have a colleague in the shop with me (not full time, anyway).
Not after working for myself for 25 years, and being used to how I like to to do things.
Isn`t that the difference between being alone and lonely. I am alone, but very much not lonely.
Hands up all my introverts! đđť
"I am so grateful for your contribution to my dress. Everybody loved it."â

This custom dip dye overskirt was the perfect pop of colour for Tanja`s wedding dress. â And with autumn well and truly here, I wanted to celebrate those beautiful colours.â
â
Her floor length skirt included:â
đa graduated hi-low hem to match the dress underneathâ
đ§Ątwo layers of soft tulleâ
đŠˇhand dyed with four vibrant colours; yellow, orange, red and burgundyâ
â¤ď¸snaps along the waist for easy attachment and removal to the wedding dressâ
â
My bespoke ombre overskirts have so many other customisation options as well. From extra layers of tulle or lining fabric, to finishing off the waistband with ribbon or a pretty beaded belt. And I have over 30 colours to choose from, so there are almost limitless options.â

l`ve always wanted to see inside this chapel, ever since I was a child. So getting to be on set for this gothic romance wedding shoot and seeing my dress amongst the old stonework was a dream come true đ¤

If you`re a Halloween girly, then this achingly romantic, yet slightly spooky wedding dress is meant for you.â
â
Asylum Chapel is a venue that`s been haunting me for the past 25 years. So when I finally had the opportunity to create a wedding dress that would fit perfectly in the crumbling stone chapel, I knew I had to make something that felt both ethereal and gothic. Like a vintage romance novel, where the lovers are doomed in some desperately heart-aching way.â
â
There`s something to be said about doing a gothic Halloween wedding in white. A black wedding dress is stunning, but there`s something really exciting about turning that back on its head and going for white instead, whilst still embodying that alt vibe.â
â
Who (fictional or otherwise) can you imagine wearing this wedding dress?â
