Ready to Wear brides
At your first appointment you will have the opportunity to try on a range of our Ready to Wear Collection dresses and separates and your stylist will assist you in choosing and styling the correct pieces to perfectly complement your vision and your day. Your gowns are then made to order to your measurements with in-house alterations available from our studio.
Bespoke Brides
For those Brides wanting to bring their own design to life, we welcome you to build a look and feel moodboard with us and share any ideas and references you may have. Designer Jessica will work with you to refine and finalise design and select fabrics. Sketches and swatch samples will be provided throughout the process. For Brides with a bespoke design you may require additional appointments / fittings.
Measurements
An initial set of measurements will be taken at all first appointments. Your gown will be made to these measurements and alterations are available at later stage if required. If you wish to postpone your measurements being taken for a later date, please let your stylist know this at first appointment.
Toile Fitting
For RTW Brides this isn't a necessary stage however, for Brides having a custom design whereby design elements need to be finalised, a toile/ mockup may be made. For bespoke, this can be a crucial part to the design process as we work alongside our Bride to perfect elements of her design.
Dress fittings
The number of dress fittings depend on the garment being made and the complexity of design, on average most Brides have 2 fittings. For our Brides that are not local to our Liverpool studio we will work to condense your fittings as much as possible to limit the number of trips you will need to make.
Underwear & Shoes
It is important all clients have the correct underwear with them for all fittings. The undergarments worn really affect the overall shape and size of the body and it is important that this remains constant throughout the fitting process. No matter the shape or size, nude seamless, undergarments are advised as these give a smooth finish to the garment. Heels must also be brought to each fitting if the garment is floor length, if this is not possible for the first fitting then a similar height heel that will be worn is needed. It is necessary to have the correct heels by the 2nd fitting stage at the latest. Your stylist can give recommendations on underwear for your chosen design if needed.
Completion & Collection
As all garments are made to measure we like to leave the final fitting to the week of / week before your wedding date where possible. We recommend coming in to us early morning Tues/Weds/Thurs for zip and fastening markings to be done, we will then work on your dress immediately after to complete and call you a few hours later when it is ready for final try on and to be taken home with you. Any balance must be paid before collection date.
