We're not just a bridal shop and here is our main difference!
As a graduate of the London College of Fashion in 1999, I can also be commissioned to make a bespoke gown or outfit just for you, where you get to choose the design, style, fabric and details of your choice, having something made that is unique to you!
A bespoke appointment costs £20 and lasts for an hour to allow enough time to discuss your ideas, draft a sketch and decide on fabric choices. The appointment fee is refundable against your bespoke order. But non refundable if the appointment is cancelled less than 48 hours prior to the appointment or no further appointment is required.
Our Bespoke Service
Here is some information on the design process of your bespoke order.
The Consultation
During our first 45 minute appointment, we will discuss your design, details and fabric ideas, and look through images and fabric swatches in order for me to understand your vision. I will then draw a rough sketch of the finalised design, take dress measurements and make detailed notes of all of your fabric choices. Sometimes I may not have swatches in the right colour or your fabric choice, and I will therefore source these for you and arrange a further meeting for you to look through them.
The Garment Process
After the toile process has been finished, the fit is perfected and you are happy with how the gown/garment looks, I will then create your gown in your chosen fabrics.
The Quote
Once all of the design, fabric and extra details have been decided, I will then provide you with a detailed quote including back and front sketches of the gown/garment, and detail all of the fabrics and extra trimmings. If you are happy then to proceed with the quote as they are non-obligatory then I would ask you to sign and date my terms and conditions, and send these back to me with a payment of 50% towards to total cost of the gown/garment.
The Fitting Process
As soon as the 1st stage of the real garment is complete. I will arrange a time for your first fitting. After this I can then make any final adjustments to the fit of your garment ready for your final fitting.
The Toile Process
Once you are ready to proceed the fabric will be ordered and I will create a pattern and then a toile of your gown/garment which is a mock up using calico fabric. As soon as the toile is complete I will arrange a fitting time. During this first fitting we will make adjustments to the toile to make sure the gown/garment will fit you perfectly and make any minor changes to the style. The pattern and toile will then be adjusted accordingly or a 2nd toile will be made depending on the required changes.
The Collection
A time will be arranged where you can collect your beautifully hand-made gown/garment made to your individual fabric and style specifications, to make you feel utterly unique and making your ideas & dreams a reality.
