I loved making this bespoke dress for Lulu last year. Thanks to Ellie Vandenbrekel Millinery for sewing on all the flowers!

Day 2 : "Your brand values"
Oh, it's my face again but it's relevant to this post too.
I suppose, until now, I never really thought of my 'business brand values' - how very corporate! But since I do have very strong personal beliefs and values, and as I also see my business as an extension of myself, they're really one and the same.
Integrity, quality and kindness are three of my most fundamental priciples.

I always work to produce the very best work I can possibly achieve for my clients. I enjoy the personal connection and important insight I gain by working closely with each one of my wonderful customers which is important when you're creating something bespoke.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Galatians 5:22-23

Isn't this stunning?
Weddings are finally in the diary! If you need a hat for a special occasion, take a look at Ellie Vandenbrekel Millinery.

White and black button fascinator with black rose trimming. A veiled brim is a great option for giving an impression of a larger hat whilst maintaining the benefits of a lightweight fascinator.

I do hope weddings will be on the agenda for later in the year! I feel so sorry for all those brides who were planning their wedding last year, or this year? so many delays and dashed hopes. But, if you have recently got engaged and are thinking about buying a wedding dress, I wrote a little blog about it on my website

While there hasn't been a lot of wedding dresses to alter, I have been busy redesigning my website. For someone who's fairly technophobic, it's quite an acheivement (well, I think so!)
