Chiffon Circle skirt and lace for pretty summer wedding

Hannah came with our business recommended from more than one person.. how nice!

She stays in London so she came to see me first time over her Christmas visit to her parents’ home in Edinburgh.

Hannah had different ideas which we discussed, with a bit of sketching up done, and some draping up fabrics on a tailors dummy, Hannah had an idea of the dress she would like. We then made the Calico Toile. A trial version of her dress in sheet fabric.

Her dress was made in a lovely corded lace and a full circle polyester chiffon skirt and a lace bolero which tied at the back in a big bow.

She really liked the cut, and that made us move on to the real fabric. The first fitting in the real fabric fitted really really well, and we made some tweaks.. like making the skirt fuller and a changed the dept of the belt.

Hannah’s dress was soon finished with a minimum number of fittings.

We were delighted when Hannah's mum asked us to make her outfit too. she went for a lace dress and douppion silk jacket.

Hannah's wedding was in St Davidson's Mains Parish Church and reception in Old Convent, Napier College, Craiglockhart, the flowers were by Bloemen Ecke. Hair and makeup by Jak Morgan


Hannah's lovely photographs were taken by Kitchener Photography. We thank everybody for their lovely work and not least the photographer for letting us use the photographs.

TeePee's on the Argyll coast

Despite Amy living as far away as Kenya, she still asked us to make her wedding dress. We were so happy to help.
Amy went for a very exquisite lace, backed with a soft fine satin, deep V-neck and fine buttons, she was very sure her wedding style should be soft, romantic, summery and non fussy. We feel we achieved a gorgeous look for Amy.
The dress was made when Amy visited her Parents at Easter time.
Amy's mum Fiona is a talented florist Fiona Cumming Floristry and she was much involved in the styling of the wedding as well as on hand with all the floral decorations for the day. Amy wanted them to reflect the vegetation of tropical Kenya.
We also made Fiona's outfit, a gorgeous purple georgette and lace outfit.
The reception was held south of Oban in gorgeous tepees by Loch Melfort Country House Hotel
We love the entire look of the wedding and was delighted to be involved, see for yourself.
Thank you so much to Wee Beauty for taking such lovely photographs and letting us use them.

Edinburgh Summer Wedding with Chantilly lace and Chinese silk organza

Elisabeth was another bride who came all the way from London to ask us to make her a beautiful dress for her wedding. She has been adorable to work with and we achieved making her gorgeous dress with minimum fittings.

She went for a circle skirt in fine Chinese silk organza and a very fine Chantilly lace overlay on the bodice. The bodice was boned and had internal lace up and little buttons and loops at the back and a little key hole detail at the neckline.

The exquisite fine materials made for a very delicate dress to compliment Elisabeth's fine elegant frame.  I love the look so much i feel so looks like a ballerina.

The wedding was held in St Columbas Free Church of Scotland and the reception in The Rivers Suite, Edinburgh Napier University the flowers was from Laura Eberst and Elisabeth's hair and make up was from Made-Up

The lovely ladies at Mirrorbox Photography have so kindly supplied us with their lovely photographs.
