Your perfect wedding suit

Wedding season may seem a little far away, after all, Christmas was only last week right?!- But if you are planning on attending a wedding or better still, getting married this year, planning for your outfit begins now. There is choosing your fabric, the style of jacket and dress you’d like to wear, hats to be created and shoes to be dyed if you are looking for the perfect match that is.  I met two lovely ladies this week, both of whom, are marrying this year. They are looking for more constructed wedding suits with interesting fabrics, stylish detailing and of course, all beautifully fitted and tailored to their shape.

 

The beautifully tailored 'Catherine' jacket and 'Kelly' dress are examples of what can be made

Starting off with an obligatory cup of tea, design and cut are initially discussed and worked around your shape and everything from hemline, bust shape to the style of skirt, are considered. There is great room for flexibility in both design and feature, perhaps there is something special to the both of you we can work into your outfit – making it a truly unique garment .  

I have beautiful selection of coloured silks to match your skin tone, the bridal party and there is always the option of going fabric shopping together, which will allow you to drape larger pieces of silk for the perfect match. Your chosen style is always cut to calico initially, this allows you to try something on before we even touch the fabric and tweaks to your initial design can be made to our pattern. Once we are both happy with the design and fit, your garment will be constructed and ready for delivery (you may choose an optional fitting here).

What you will leave the studio with, is an outfit you feel confident in wearing, knowing time and consideration have been spent together on fabrics, fit, cut and style…what more could you require on your special day?!
