When you choose to have a bespoke outfit made especially for you, you are in full control from the design to the fabric selection and you know you’re getting something that is truly you, ethically made, and totally unique.

DESIGN CONSULTATION

The first step in making your bespoke outfit become a reality is to book an appointment, please contact us to arrange this. At the consultation, we will go through your ideas, if you have mood boards or any inspirational images that you want to bring along to the meeting that would be a great starting point for us to start to discuss your ideal outfit. At the appointment, you will also be able to look through a wide range of beautiful fabrics and laces. If you are happy to proceed forward following our initial consultation I can sketch up design ideas plus give you a quotation.


MEASUREMENTS APPOINTMENT

An appointment will be made to take your measurements. This will be a 15-20 minute session. Please ensure you are wearing the underwear you will be wearing on the day of your event, or something similar, please also bring along a similar height heel that you will be wearing on the day.


FIRST FIT

This is the moment where the dress starts to come to life _ The toile fitting, this is a cotton/or similar fabric replica of the outfit. At this stage, we will look at any necessary adjustments, to the fit and the design that the outfit may need.


SUBSEQUENT FITTINGS

Over the course of several fittings, we will work on ensuring that the fit is perfect and that the outfit is as you envisaged. Once the perfect look and fit has been achieved on the toile, several fittings may be required to achieve this, we can start working on your dress with your chosen fabrics/laces. At every step, you will see your outfit take shape, and be in control of the development of your dress.


FINAL FIT

The final fitting will generally take place 2-4 weeks before the big day.

Consultations and fittings will take place at my home studio in Tynemouth.
