Wedding Dresses

Every Bride is unique and has a perfect vision of how she wants to look on the most important day of her life. We will listen very carefully to what you say and then help bring your vision to life. Whether you want to release your inner goddess or to shine with pure Hollywood glamour we can help make your dreams come true. 

Wedding Dress Sketch We specialise in plus sizes and as we really understand voluptuous figures we can ensure you look your absolute best. You won’t be wearing a dress that was originally designed for a size 10 and scaled up - yours will be a couture dress, designed and sewn with no-one but you in mind.

From your first discussions with us, through the sketching stages to the final fitting we will be with you every step of the way with friendly assistance, honest advice and expert design.

If you would like to discuss your Wedding Dress do please drop us a line or give us a call. We'll talk everything through with you to get an idea of your vision and to discover where your inspirations lie. Once we understand your needs we will produce a preliminary drawing, some fabric suggestions and an approximate costing with no obligation.

Wedding DressOnce you are happy to proceed we ask for a £100 deposit and we’ll then develop your ideas into a selection of unique sketches for you with a full list of design and fabric options, some samples and a comprehensive costing. We'll adapt and alter our work for as long as it takes until you have your absolute dream dress.

Once the design and fabrics are finalised we'll then ask for a 50% deposit with the balance due at your final fitting.

As you are commissioning a couture gown you will need to come and see us at least twice. The preliminary stages of your dresses construction will be the manufacture of a ‘Toile’. This is a trial version of your dress and we will need to fit this on you to check that the design fits as you would hope. Once we have this perfected we will then start making the dress proper, and this too will need to be fitted to you.

Prices for a Couture Wedding dress similar to the sketch and picture above, including a toile and all fitting appointments start at around £700. A fully boned or corseted dress starts at around £1200. We ask that you allow at least twelve weeks for us to design and construct your gown. Please note that we have limited space available in our workroom and so if you are planning to marry in peak season we recommend you book early.
