Bridal
For The Dreamers and The Starcross'd
Your wedding ensemble is an opportunity to create something deeply "You".
That tells the story of your unique romance.
Beyond tradition, expectation, and custom.
I'm here for the brides who want to step off the path well travelled, and jump into the fairytale with both feet.
If you've ever stepped into a bridal store and felt like everything you tried on was a compromise, you are not alone. Mass manufactured bridal dresses are following trends, trying to appeal to a broad market, and too often, pieces feel like they blend into one another. One long rail of pretty, white monotony.
My brides have a story to tell. One that can't be worn by anyone else.
My job is to stitch it into existence, with you by my side.
Showpieces and Separates
My ethos has always been, "What a waste to spend thousands on a dress you can only wear for one day."
I design pieces that can be layered to add flourish and flow (and plenty of drama too) but at it's core, a precious corset you can wear over and over again. Be it for foundation wear, boudoir, or special occasions, everything has a life long after the confetti has scattered to the wind.
These pieces are designed to be seen, teamed with a flowing cape, elbow length gloves, a pooling chiffon skirt. Whatever meets the brief. Embellish with twinkling crystal droplets, layered lace applique, draped silk... All crafted to speak to the soul of your romance. The things you've survived, the things that breath life into you both. Your fandoms, your quirks, the heart of you.
Sounds like you? We should talk. Book a bridal consultation at my cosy home studio in Mid Wales, and let's start designing something that's truly You.
Bridal Foundations
An heirloom dress, a vintage find, but you want more from the shape...
The structure of a foundation or shapewear corset is what will take your bridal look from pretty, to otherworldly. Every red carpet look you've ever admired has been based on carefully crafted foundation wear that allows the dress fabric to drape and cling exactly as intended. Let me craft you a second skin that works with your dress and your silhouette for softly sculpted curves, or full "va-va-voom" if that's what you prefer.
For brides that need a tight turnaround, I even have ready-to-ship foundation underbusts, or waspies and underbusts available with custom sizing and shorter timescales than full bespoke orders. For those with more time, we can craft silk mesh overbusts that melt into the skin, cupped overbusts or secretly themed underbusts, as a surprise for the wedding night.
Let's discuss your options and your timeline for your dream silhouette.
Trousseau
Looking for a curated set of treasures for the honeymoon and beyond?
From corsetry, lingerie, and co-ordinating accessories, your new shared life deserves a boudoir upgrade.
I can help you choose meaningful pieces to start your married life with, perhaps a waspie that uses elements of your bridal corset to wear on anniversaries, with a delicate lace lingerie to accompany it. Perhaps something to tempt your adventurous side, silk satin wrist cuffs, a shibari harness, strappy satin garters. Whatever your style, I can find the designer pieces that will make your trousseau a joy to explore together.
