dressmaking
I have been involved in dressmaking for 30 years now, having originally operated a bridalwear shop in Leighton Buzzard in the 1980’s. I pride myself on the quality of my work which is always produced to the highest standard. I can work from patterns or simply a photo or drawing to produce the dress for you. It might be that you like the top of one dress and the skirt of another, which is absolutely fine. You will have a number of fittings to ensure a perfect fit.
Prices for Wedding Dresses start from £250 for the making of the dress. Adult bridesmaid/evening dresses start from £70 and children’s bridesmaid dresses or christening gowns are around £50. Obviously you will need to add to that the cost of the materials of your choice which will vary depending on your choice of fabric and any accessories.
This page shows some of the work I have produced, with examples of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and other related items.
