Yep I saw a picture of a dress I loved and I couldn’t see anything like it in shops so have had it made, a lovely experience and I’ll have a dress like no one else as we tweaked it from the picture

Yep I did! Took all my favourite bits from a few dresses and put them together! Was able to choose the lace and be part of each step. Would recommend!

I am! One of my friends is a costumier for theatres, and she’s making mine for me. But it’s not a traditional white dress....it’s a deep burgundy red one! 😊 💃🏻

I would say just make sure you try some on first. The dress I had in my head really didn't suit me and I went for a totally different design 😊

I had the same as Kelly. Filled out the form on arrival and ticked all the things I didn't want in a dress. 6 dresses later and I picked 'the one'....it was EVERYTHING I said I didn't want.

I had mine made for me didn’t like a single dress out there !

I was going to but decided to try some dresses on to check shape/styles etc to build my perfect dress. Pleased I did, as I ended up finding my dress and it wasn't like I was going to have made!

Yes had mine made it was fantastic experience. I had some ideas of what I wanted and did a fair bit of going to shops and trying dresses on which helped rule things in and out. Not sure where you are but I used - Emma Beaumont she’s based in Knutsford but also works from London as well.

Yes a lady on Etsy made mine, it was perfect and surprisingly cost less than the ones I was trying on in shops that looked ridiculous on me.

That's what I do.... I design bespoke gowns and headdresses. I find I never can find just the right thing for sale, but I do a lot of upcycling with vintage pieces as well as new fabrics. what I do is not expensive because I'm using a lot of existing pieces and creating something original.

Yes I am. Talk to the dress maker what style you like, what material etc
