A perfect fit for a perfect day.

This beautiful silk bridal gown came to me needing a total transformation. After resizing the sides, adding an invisible zip and an elasticated waist for comfort, I shortened the hem by 30cm to get that flawless fit.

The best part? We used the leftover silk to create a bespoke matching bow tie and pocket square for the groom!

A sustainable, sentimental way to ensure the happy couple is perfectly coordinated.

Fabric: 100% Silk

I love creating wedding dresses for brides in their forties — women who know their own style and carry such natural grace.

Every bespoke gown I make is crafted with care, using beautiful fabrics sourced from around the world.

In my London (Barnet) studio, each design begins with a conversation and grows into something truly personal.
 

It’s always an honour to be part of that journey.

[Testimonials] Keiko
 
“When I visited Katsuko for the fitting, I had a very enjoyable time. I didn’t have any images for my wedding dress, and Katsuko gave me some nice ideas and advice from her dressmaking experience. Finally she made me the most wonderful dress in the world.

 I was very glad that she listened to all my questions and wishes for the dress at each fitting, and created a unique wedding dress for me. All guests applauded me on the wedding day and I had the happiest time with my husband. My wedding dress was very appropriate for the church and I felt that it was so good to order from Katsuko.”

A timeless bespoke A-line wedding dress with a dramatic fishtail, crafted in silk ivory duchess satin.

The off-shoulder French lace neckline frames the shoulders with effortless romance, while a subtle satin ribbon at the waist enhances the silhouette.

Delicate lace trims the hem, brushing the floor with every step, and a cathedral-length veil completes the look with breathtaking drama.

Elegant, bespoke, unforgettable.

[Testimonials - Sally]

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating my beautiful wedding dress. Anyone can have plans and dreams but have to rely upon others to bring those dreams to life. You most certainly did that for me. My dress felt wonderful to wear. My fiancé was in tears when he saw me walking down the aisle, and our guests were stunned into silence. Even the Reverend said she was “quite jealous”.

Everyone I came into contact with on that day said how beautiful my dress was. I will be forever grateful to you, Katsuko. We are amazed at the exquisite workmanship you have done to create my dream. Once again, thank you.”

This bespoke A-line gown in ivory, crafted by a wedding dressmaker in London, features 100% silk, hand-applied lace, Swarovski crystal accents, and a flowing layered train. Silk-covered buttons add a delicate finishing touch.
