This is what happened back in November at the South East Regional award ceremony for The Wedding Industry Awards. I won best in my category for "best wedding dressmaker".
🤞🤞🤞 And I`m just hoping it happens again on Wednesday night when I`m in Liverpool for the National ceremony!
But either way I`m a winner already both in the south east and every time I see a bride`s smile in her finished bespoke dress. 🥰🥰🥰

The Wedding Industry Award (@twia_official) Nationals are next week 🏆️ I`m up for Independent Dressmaker/Designer, having won the regionals last month.

I`m so happy Ella chose me to elevate her already lovely @catherine__deane bridal skirt from @the_little_bridal_boutique.
For this subtle dip dye, I used a wet dye technique, instead of my usual spray approach. The two colours blended so beautifully together 💛🧡 I think the skirt looks like the petals of a flower, but I can`t put my finger on which one.

I loved adding a creamy pale yellow and sorbet orange dip dye to this beautiful silk skirt, by @catherine__deane (via @the_little_bridal_boutique).
Aren`t these colours so lovely?
I`ll be posting the beautiful photos the bride sent me of this wedding dress in action soon!

2026 is going to be the most whimsical year yet ✨
To be clear, this isn`t me. But I did make the dress, and I did insist on the lovely Lauren twirling in it for me. She`s a brilliant twirler, I think we can all agree 💃🏻
(This 16th century costume dress is now available sale just get in touch for details 🤫)
