Erica's dress design changed slightly throughout the making process until we had the perfect style. 

 Susie did a fantastic job in making my wedding dress. She was creative, endlessly patient and the final result was a beautiful dress. Her attention to detail is second to none and she made the whole process enjoyable I highly recommend anyone who wants a bespoke wedding dress to contact Susie and I am sure you will not be disappointed

I had the absolute pleasure of altering Lucy's beautiful Maggie Sottero gown for the perfect fit.

" Susie turned my beautiful Maggie Sottero dress into one that was like it was made to measure. It fitted me yet was so comfortable to wear all day long and the length was perfect. My dress had a lot of beadwork and lace and I could only trust Susie with this, after I saw the intricate work she did creating my sister's wedding dress from scratch. She has a lovely fitting room as well, the fittings were very efficient, calming yet exciting at the same time. Thank you :)"

Amy found her gorgeous silk chiffon Catherine Deane skirt but wanted it changed slightly. We made the underskirt fuller and added a small net petticoat to hold the skirt out and we also distribute the gathers evenly around the waist.

 Susie did an absolutely fantastic job of making my wedding dress earlier this year! I had found a sample Catherine Deane silk chiffon wedding skirt, which I loved, and was hoping to have a lace bodice made to turn it into a dress. After meeting Susie, I knew she was the person to do it - she completely understood what I had in mind and was really helpful, responsive and willing to accommodate every adjustment I asked for, no matter how small. She also did a brilliant job of altering the dresses for my two bridesmaids and is generally just a really lovely and friendly person to work with. My dress turned out even better than I could have imagined, thanks to Susie's incredible skill and vision, and was completely transformed from the original skirt that I brought to her. The quality of the finished dress was amazing and I was so thrilled to wear it for my wedding - I particularly loved swishing it around for our first dance! Thank you so much, Susie! :)

Samantha wanted a white satin dress with a pleated bodice, beaded lace sleeves and front and back lace inserts at the top of the bodice

"100% recommend. Susie went out of her way and the result is a beautiful dress and veil. All round superb, thank you!"

When Mary picked up her dress from the shop she was very unhappy with the fit and the way it had been made. 

With some alterationsm for a perfect fit, replacement sleeves and a new improved petticoat she fell back in love with her dress. 

I also had the pleasure of altering the

 gorgeous bridesmaid dresses for these lovely girls.

I loved working with this gorgeous bride in making her amazing dress and cape. She had a very clear vision of what she wanted. 

The dess had simple clean lines to show off the cape.

"Susie was incredible I knew from the word go she totally understood what I wanted for my wedding dress. I wanted something different a long silky gown and floor length cape with powerful shoulder pads! And Susie did just that. It was so great to see it in all of the stages. Never once did she try to change the original concept and showed real enthusiasm to do something a bit different. I went to one dress shop on the high street and it just wasn’t for me. As soon as I met Susie I felt full of confidence that she would be able to make the dress. I was so thrilled with the outcome it looked like something off the run way. I am just thinking of what she could make for me next. Susie is incredibley efficient, hard working and passionate about your dress. I couldn’t recommend her enough."

I helped this gorgeous bride with the alterations to her beautiful David Tutera gown and made a veil from ivory tulle.

I also made two bridesmaid dresses from teal satin with a chiffon bodice and skirt ovelay and ruched teal satin at the wasitline.

I also made this cute flowergirl dress from pale pink satin and the bodice had a lace overlay with 3d pink flowers. The multi-layered petticoat was edged with pink satin  The perfect dress for twirling in.

This gorgeous Mother of the Bride wanted an outfit that was smart and comfortable. Not being a dress person she was a bit unsure what to wear.  She knew what colours she liked and she wanted a floral top. Once we found that fabric everything else fell into place. 

"Susie did a marvellous job in creating and making the " mother of the bride" outfit. I enjoyed having my input in the process too. I felt wonderful on THE DAY and I was told by a guest that I looked beautiful. Now I don't think this has ever happened to me before. So it was thanks to Susie for all her patience and skill. So happy"

This lovely ivory satin dress was made for a Christening.

The ivory satin bodice was overlayed with ivory lace and had Swarovski crystals added and had a pink satin band at the waistline

The full ivory satin skirt was pleated at the waistline and had a multi-layered ivory net petticoat with the edges trimmed in pink satin.

This Ivory halterneck 1950's style dress had a ballerina length pleated skirt with multi-layers of net petticoat.

This lovely bride wanted to reflect her scottish heritage and decided to have the layers of the net petticoat edged in tartan silk and the buttons at the back were also covered in the matching tartan.

The bridesmaids were made in a similar 1950's style in the colours of the tartan. Purple satin for the dress and the net petticoat had layers of green, white and blue net edged in satin. There was also a tartan band at the waist to bring it all together.

I cannot recommend Susie highly enough!"
