I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on my latest look book for my bespoke, sustainable bridal wear service 🤍
One thing I keep hearing time and time again… “What do I do with my wedding dress after the big day?”
So I’m designing with life beyond the wedding in mind.
This featured style is built around versatility:
A shorter dress layered with a detachable long overskirt.
After the wedding, the possibilities are endless:
✨ The shorter dress can be styled for events
✨ It can be shortened further for elegant daywear
✨ The overskirt can be paired with other pieces for new looks
✨ Or even transformed into something meaningful like a cape or Christening gown
Because your dress should be worn, loved, and lived in—more than once.
And just as important as design is fabric.
I’m currently sourcing sustainable, breathable materials—moving away from traditional polyester (which is non-biodegradable and traps heat), and towards more conscious choices.
My focus is on blends like:
• Viscose (for breathability)
• Acetate (for a beautiful sheen)
• Elastane (for comfort and movement)
The goal? Bridalwear that feels as good as it looks—light, breathable, comfortable, and made to last beyond a single day.
