Next stage is a steel b***d corset - I seem to be channeling a rebel phase in the studio at the moment. I want to create an authentically distressed, antique aesthetic, matching the historical pieces, with the structure and industrial connotation of the corset!!

Roughly fifteen years ago, I began experimenting with smaller, zero-waste textile art garments alongside my bridal gowns—creating layered, historically inspired accessories designed to carry their own story.

This is one of my original embroidered lace fichu wraps, recently pulled out for a gentle restoration.
I originally designed it with dangling charms that were removed for cleaning years ago; today, it’s finally back on the mannequin to be brought back to its full, intended look.
For me, design isn't only about the grand gowns. It’s about the historical silhouettes, the delicate weight of the lace, and the way a single accessory can completely shift the energy of an entire ensemble.

I'm currently deciding on the new hardware to finish it, the originals were bronze but I'm wondering about silver 🤔

Antique lace "Frou-Frou" detachable tie collar. 🖤
This has been in my collection for a while, and I’ve loved it from the moment I first saw it. I love the delicate beauty with a slightly wild, rebellious edge—it’s always given me major Tim Burton/Helena Bonham Carter vibes. It has become a bit of a muse in the sewing room recently, and I have taken some of the techniques and design elements and adapted them into a limited collection of new garments for my next stock drop!

After a lot of hard work and a fair amount of chaos, repairing, repainting, and completely rearranging the inside of the showroom, I did a sneaky evening walk-by just to check on my new solar lights. ✨ So happy to see them working!!

Decades of 'I do.' 🖤
This heavy guipure lace paired with a duchess satin is one of the most requested dress/lace combos that I get asked for in custom wedding dresses. I've been using it for decades, for unique, bespoke wedding dresses. I am so humbled when I think about the amazing collection of women all over the world who chose me and this guipure lace for the biggest day of their lives...
