​

    Hello! and welcome to My Sewing Box, Manchester (UK).

​

Are you looking for a unique wedding dress? I offer alternative bespoke wedding dress design and dress making services in my Manchester city centre workshop. The process includes sketches, a bespoke pattern design, and a mock-up of the dress that will be fitted to you in person to ensure a perfect fit, before creating your garment in stages, in your choice of fabrics.

 

 Handmade for you by me, and from scratch, in my workshop in an old textile mill in Manchester city centre which has been there since the beginning of the industrial revolution. With your ideas and my skills we can bring your vision to reality. Let me create your dream wedding outfit, and enjoy the process!

​

​

 I can also embellish your dress or add a train, and create matching accessories and pieces.         

 

 

*For enquiries, please  email me stating your deadline, budget and style of dress, thank you.

 Prices include design sketches, materials sourcing and sampling, bespoke pattern design, a "toile" or "muslin" (a full-size fabric mock-up of the dress that would be tailored and fitted to you in person before making the dress in your choice of materials), all the fittings, and finally, making your dress in your choice of materials, in stages, so that you can try it on a few times before it is completed. I even include a free of charge alteration if your weight changed slightly just before your wedding day.

​ I also offer a wedding dress re-design service if you would like me to change an existing wedding dress into a different style, customise it, embellish it or even turn it into a christening gown after your wedding if you have a baby. If you have your heart set on a design you have seen in a picture, it is also possible to recreate. Bespoke designed, beautifully handmade, custom wedding dresses and frocks, created for you in my studio in Manchester (UK) with your ideas and my skills...

I also include a free of charge alteration if, for instance, your weight changed a bit just before your wedding
