TAILOR & CREATE
A wedding gown is probably the most memorable outfit you will ever wear.
Our Made-to-Measure Service is here to help you create a wedding dress you will treasure forever. In need of an alteration for your partner and family – we would be delighted to help.
Already have a clear vision of the type of bridal dress you want?
Or perhaps you are looking to draw inspiration from a designer or a particular wedding dress?
Our team are here to help you create a bridal gown that’s uniquely yours – from drawing board to fitting room.
Be inspired
Show us pictures of wedding dresses you love, or share colour swatches or fabric samples that inspire you. And we will try to find a way to turn your ideas into reality for you and your bridal family.
Create
Collaborate with our bridal made-to-measure team to create a wedding dress that’s 100% you – from ‘I want’ to ‘I do’.
Re-create
We also offer a special ‘re-creation’ service for wedding garments you would like to re-imagine in a different colour, fabric, length or with amended detailing.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Initial consultation
Our team will work with you and your vision. We collaborate with you – we are not designers and we do not have a collection of designs. We work from scratch, but If you feel you need a designer, we will help you find one.
2
Choose your fabric
From organza, delicate silks and luxurious satins to beaded fabrics, lace and tulle, it is time to choose the fabric for your wedding dress. Of course, we will be on hand to give recommendations and we are very happy to work with fabrics you already own or want to source yourself.
3
Your toile fitting
The better your wedding dress fits, the better it will look. That is why we always create bridal designs in simple cotton first – this is known as ‘fitting the toile’. Our seamstresses will check your measurements and fabric choice – still plenty of time for you to amend and request changes before we move onto the next and most exciting stage of the process.
4
Making your wedding gown
Depending on its design, we will tailor your gown in two or three stages – which may require a few more fittings. We will start by ensuring the main bridal dress features are right, like the neckline, bodice, sleeves and hems, before adding the tiny details that will bring your dream wedding dress to life.
5
The finishing touch
We want you to get as much as possible from our Bespoke Bridal Service. The finishing touch is you wearing your perfect wedding dress. Once you are completely happy with the finished bridal garment, you can walk away with it that very day!
How long does it take
We ask to allow at least four months, preferably more, for a made-to-measure wedding dress. We will likely need up to six months for more complex and detailed bridal garments. Unfortunately, we cannot take on any new commissions for bespoke garments for completion before the end of September 2025.
