I made a dress for ME for a change … and in true seamstress fashion I sewed it the day before we flew out to Barcelona 🤭

Swipe to see us perusing the menu behind Justin Alexander 🤣

Pretty happy with how it turned out. Could do with some pattern alts for a more perfect fit next time 🤍 but a lovely swishy sundress nonetheless 🥰

I bought the pattern from an Etsy seller to save time (Luneria pattern)

Oh hey! It has been a while!

Introducing one of my spring 2026 brides KATIE 💚

Katie came to me with a a wedding dress she had bought online. The structure of which was poorly supported by flimsy bones causing the gown to sag rather than hold firm as corsets should do.

I added supportive bones to the entire bodice to allow the corset to sn**ch Katies waist and show off her curves ✨ we also added smooth bust cups, and customised her detachable off the shoulder sleeves (not pictured)

Congratulations Katie 💚 it was a pleasure transforming your dress for you ✨

Just a sewing nerd unpacking her well overdue machine upgrade 🤭

I have been building my alterations business for a good few years now and have somehow survived many seasons using my old second hand domestic Brother machine. She has served me well but alas it is time for her retirement (though I still love her and will be keeping her🤭)

Now on to a bigger faster machine, fixed in place, no more struggling with my machine moving across the desk or the slower speed holding me back. My new Jack A2B has already greatly improved my sewing productivity ☺️

Yes I bought the machine in January, and yes my Christmas decorations were still up, not sorry 🤭

2025 was a beautiful year of growth for me personally and professionally 🤍

There was many firsts…
🧵My first full year of business without the crutch of part time employment
✈️My first solo trip out of the country
🤍 Exhibited at a wedding fair for the first time as ‘just’ Emily Kate
🏡We bought our first home!
🐾We adopted our first fur baby
💃🏻After a decade of working in bridal I finally tried some dresses on!
🔥AND It was the first year, in many many years I have evaded burnout… just!!

I believe is all about the people you choose to surround yourself with 💖

Last year (lol) I read a quote along the lines of “Funerals are full of words we should have said in life.” Not to be morbid, but this one stuck with me and therefore intend to share the love often… Starting with some 2025 love!

Sam, Samantha, “Mi lady” 🫢🤎 From our buying trips to your legendary pep talks, musical interludes and silly sounds 🦃 laughing until we can’t breathe …I feel very lucky to call you my friend, colleague and fellow boss lady 🥰


Head of sparkles a.k.a. My mum for coming to the rescue, helping to get many many horsehair hems unpicked ready to sew, things would not have gone as smoothly without you!
A big thank you to you 🩷


Jasmine. Thankyou for always encouraging me to be brave, supporting me (and everyone around you!) and keeping our feet on the ground. You inspire me every day and no matter what life throws at you, you are there for your people. You are so special, you deserve what you give out to the world, back tenfold 💜chronically .elizabeth.93
