I have been designing and making couture wedding dresses for over twenty years . I studied Art and Design at Solihull college near Birmingham, I achieved a distinction for my final collection.
 I then went on to study Pattern cutting, corset and theater costume design at Henley college nr Statford up-on- Avon.

 When I make any garment I always strive to make it best and most perfect I have ever made, paying attention to every detail, I want you to leave feeling totally satisfied with your garment.

In the relaxed surroundings of my home, we can chat and put all the ideas together,  I will then sketch out some designs for you to choose from. 


 Once you have agreed the design I will then make a Toile, (this is a garment made from calico),. The purpose of the Toile is to check that the measurements and pattern construction are correct. up to this point you still have the option of changing any details you wish.

once you are satisfied with the design and fit of the Toile I will then start the production of your garment, you should expect to have a few more fittings before the whole process is complete.

Please browse through my web pages to see some commissions I have done in the past.
