Where Dreams Meet Craftsmanship
My goal is to transform your dream dress into a reality. From the start, we collaborate closely to bring your vision to life, discussing the details you love and the ones you'd prefer to leave behind. I believe dressmaking is a deeply personal and collaborative journey. By weaving elements of your unique personality into the design, I create a one-of-a-kind wedding dress that truly reflects who you are.
How long does the process of a bespoke wedding dress take?
The timeline typically ranges from 4-6 months. We start with a complimentary design consultation, and after a deposit is made, we meet in person to explore fabric options from my look book, layering and feeling fabrics to find the perfect match. If necessary, I can source new samples. Once we have decided on a fabric and a design, I will begin the sampling process. For this, I create a mock-up of your dress, also called a Toile. Using this toile, I perfect the fit and make any adjustments needed. I then move onto making your dress in the final fabric and adding any finishing touches like appliqués. You will have a final fitting complete with bubbles, which you can bring a friend along to so you can celebrate!
Can I add custom accessories?
Absolutely! I offer a wide range of pre-designed accessories, but also offer the option for us to work together to create a completely unique piece for you. The Peony Veil in this image was designed specifically to match this custom Phoebe Crosby Design wedding dress, worn by the beautiful Thelma. This veil is complete with hand crafted chiffon peonies, adorned with pearls in the centre, each one hand sewn to the veil. They compliment the peonies I added onto the dress, however this veil would also look beautiful with a plain gown.
