"Your talent, creativity and attention to detail made this piece so much more than just part of a dress â it became a beautiful expression of who I am. We were completely overwhelmed and deeply impressed."
For this dip dye overskirt, Marina and I went through a few different colour combinations before we landed on something she felt was perfect. I`m always happy to create as many samples as a bride needs to feel really sure about her choice. Originally Marina wanted the gradient to start at yellow, but after I sent her the first sample, and seeing it in real life, she decided the yellow was a little too yellow, and we went for a lime green instead. That way, she still got the brightness she wanted, but staying within a more restricted colour palette.
Then I get to begin layering all the colours. From that chartreuse, finishing on a deep, forest green, and then adding a layer of fine silver glitter on top. I think the sparkle is a beautiful touch. After that, I packaged it up carefully and sent to Switzerland, where Marina lives. And finally, her dip dye overskirt got to do its job - adding colour, style and personality to her wedding dress.
If you`re a bride who wants to bring dopamine dressing to your wedding day, drop me a DM! There are so many fabulous ways of adding colour to your day, and I would love to help.
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 ÂŁ700. So if you love this dress, grab her whilst you can!

"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 đâ
â
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? â
â
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.â
â
Keep scrolling to see what the skirt looked like on the day â¨ď¸â

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.â

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.â
