Bespoke Wedding Dress Making Services
​
I offer bespoke wedding dress design and dress making services in my Manchester workshop. The process includes sketches, a bespoke pattern design, and a mock-up of the dress to ensure a perfect fit before creating your garment in stages, in your choice of fabrics, so that you can try it on a few times before it is completed. 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. I can also embellish your dress or add a train, and create matching accessories and pieces.
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.

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.
Bear in mind that every dress is priced individually subjected to labour time, therefore the price will be unique to each design.
Nothing fits and feels like having a custom made garment for a special occasion!
