What a poppet!! Sarah asked me to make a christening gown for her daughter from her wedding dress, and this was the result. What a lovely picture.

Sarah said 'Finally got around to trying to dress on Arabella, and how pleased does she look in it :)
It fits beautifully and plenty of room should she have a little growth spurt over the next few weeks.

Thanks again. '

LET'S DANCE! Rachel and her husband are very keen dancers, and Rachel wanted a 1950's style dress with lots of petticoats to wear at their next dance event. We used a vintage style brocade for the dress, complete with vintage buttons down the front bodice. I think she looks fabulous!

Her comment was 'A huge thank you! The dress was a hit. We had such a great time! We needed a lot of room on the dance floor which was great for the twirl! x

Olive had a lovely floral dress made for her summer wedding, which I altered to fit and made a matching headband. It suits her very well, and she plans to shorten the dress so it can be worn again in the future. Best wishes for the future, Olive

Her comments were, 'Everyone LOVED the dress and headband. Thanks for making the dress fit like a dream and making my dream wedding outfit.'

Do you remember sunshine like this? These two lovely ladies were married in the summer in Italy. I fitted the dress and trousers, and made the top to match to the customer's specification. Don't they look happy? Apologies for being late in posting your pictures, but very best wishes for the future.
