The dresses are getting fuller this year requiring some creative bustle options; French, ballroom, American and combination. Your dress will tell me what you need to make your transition from aisle to reception as smooth as possible. Ripper Seams

2026 is a huge year for weddings! In order to give my existing bookings for bridal my full attention, I am not taking on any more gowns before December.

If you are getting married in 2027, book your alterations as soon as you have ordered or purchased your dress. I already have a substantial number of early 2027 brides booked.

A shout out to all of my previous bridal clients who continue to recommend my services to future brides. I truly appreciate your kind words. You're all amazing!

Let's talk bustles!

A good bustle works with your dress. It takes into consideration the shape of your train, the style of your dress and is robust enough to last the night. Every bustle is as unique as the bride who wears it.

Some dresses only require a few fixing points, some can be well over 20. Some have multiple layers that require separate fixing points due to irregular layers of train.

Whether you decide to bustle or not is personal, but the freedom a bustle gives you to enjoy your reception without worrying about your train is worth the effort ❤️🪡

Bustles should be practical above all. Easy for your bridesmaids to put together and have strong anchor points to hold the weight of your train. They can't always be invisible, but I can make them as discreet as possible.
