Mrs S
I got my dream wedding dress
Katsuko is a fantastic designer with creative ideas. I have tried on many wedding dresses at bridal shops, and I realized what kind of wedding dress I wanted, but I couldn’t find it in the shops. And then I ordered my wedding dress from Katsuko. I got my dream wedding dress which is the only one in the world for me. The fitting time was a really enjoyable process for making my wedding dress. I explained many details and imagined what I wanted, and Katsuko gave a lot of ideas. I had a very memorable wedding day with this wedding dress, and I am so grateful for Katsuko’s work.
Response from KATSUKO - Bespoke designer
Thank you so much for your wonderful words. It was truly a joy to create your wedding dress together. I loved hearing your ideas and working with you to bring your vision to life. Knowing that you felt beautiful and unique on your special day means the world to me. I am so grateful that you trusted me with such an important part of your wedding, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love.

A line shaped bespoke lace wedding dress with a long back train
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating my beautiful wedding dress. Anyone can have plans and dreams but have to rely upon others to bring those dreams to life. You most certainly did that for me. My dress felt wonderful to wear. My fiance was in tears when he saw me walking down the aisle and our guests were stunned into silence. Even the Reverend said she was “quite jealous”. Everyone I came into contact with on that day said how beautiful my dress was. I will be forever grateful to you Katsuko. We are amazed at the exquisite workmanship you have done to create my dream. Once again, thank you.
Response from KATSUKO - Bespoke designer

I’m truly delighted to hear how happy you felt wearing it, and that it moved not only your fiancé but also your guests (and even the Reverend!).Knowing that the dress made you feel so beautiful and confident on your wedding day is the greatest reward for me. I am deeply grateful for your kind words and for trusting me with something so meaningful.Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of love and happiness together.

Mother of the groom outfits
Katsuko made me the most beautiful skirt and top for my son’s wedding. She was friendly, meticulous and with a brilliant eye for detail. I enjoyed the fittings so much and was thrilled with the result which got so many compliments on the day.

She can sew anything you want her to sew and will listen to exactly what is you are hoping she will achieve. Warmly recommended.

Anita & Kurt
Perfect wedding dress & mother of the bride dress for petite ladies
Katsuko was amazing and we got the perfect dresses we wanted with expert and personal service. We are both under 5' so no store was able to cater for us. We explained what I wanted for my dress and for my mum's dress and Katsuko immediately drew the perfect gowns for us and showed us the best quality fabrics I had ever seen or touched in my life.

After just a few fittings, the dresses were ready. Katsuko ensures a wonderful stress-free experience for young and old.

I had a second wedding ceremony in a care home abroad for my in-laws, who were unable to travel to England, and had the pleasure of wearing the dress and saying my vows to my beloved husband for a second time! It cost less than in the stores too!!!
Response from KATSUKO - Bespoke designer
Thank you so much, Anita, for sharing such a heartfelt review. It truly makes me happy to know that both you and your mum found the dresses just as you wished. Creating them together with you was a wonderful experience for me, and I’m glad the process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Hearing that you were able to wear your wedding dress again for a second ceremony abroad and make such precious memories with your family is especially touching. Knowing that my work could be part of those moments is the greatest reward. Thank you again for trusting me with something so important.

Bespoke off-the-shoulder mermaid wedding dress
I worked with Katsuko to create my custom wedding dress. Her work was immaculate throughout and she made every effort to accommodate all my requests. We had several fittings over the months we worked together and she kept me well updated on her progress. She also had an exceptional range of fabrics. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I would 100 % recommend!
Response from KATSUKO - Bespoke designer
Thank you so much, Lizzy, for your kind review. It was such a pleasure working with you on your wedding dress and bringing your ideas to life. I’m delighted to know you were happy with the process and the fabrics, and I truly appreciate your warm recommendation.
