22.01.2022 Its been a while between posts! But we are back with this loved up shot of Samantha in her Custom Made Wedding Dress and Veil with her love Michael! These two were wed on that very eventful weekend in March where probably 8/10 weddings were sadly cancelled due to COVID 19 imposed restrictions. ... Samantha designed her dress based off a combination of dresses she had tried on and merged the best elements from each dress into one. Her dress was made of a beautiful Stretch Crepe which has the perfect amount of weight to assist the skirt to be heavy on the floor but also swish and float when moving. We had a little stress with fabric availability being affected due to all international imports being held up due to COVID 19, which pushed our timeframe out by few weeks, meaning the construction of the actual dress started only 2 weeks prior to the wedding date! But perseverance and trust in Dressmaking and Such kept Samantha reassured she would have her dream dress one way or another! We worked around the clock to get this dress perfect, even remaking the bodice in the days leading up to the wedding, as the fabric just wouldnt behave the way we wanted. The end result - a perfectly fitted dress that flattered Samantha in all the right places. Moral of our story - where theres a will, theres a way. And Dressmaking and Such has so much will that there will ALWAYS be a way!! January/February 2021 - fully booked! Taking bookings for March 2021 onwards now!

22.01.2022 H O T W E A T H E R & F I T T I N G S As the weather warms up, a little piece of helpful advice for all Summer Brides and their Bridal parties.. Warm weather and being anxious prior to a Wedding Dress fitting can be a lot to deal with.... Please stay hydrated and have some food in your tummy before all fittings. Not eating or drinking will cause you to have low blood sugar and can cause you to feel very unwell and faint during fittings. The Fitting Room here at Dressmaking and Such is air conditioned, but on hot days like today and tomorrow, this will not be enough if you are feeling light headed. Please bring a water bottle (or coffee if this is the thing that keeps you going!) and make sure to have had something to eat before your fitting, even if it is just a piece of fruit.

11.01.2022 A bit of beauty for your eyes in amongst the uncertainty of the world. Meg knew she never wanted a Wedding Dress, so opted for a custom made Wedding Jumpsuit.. and it was just perfect for her and her style. Made of the most stunning Silk Crepe with a 3D lace Blouse with Cape Style sleeves, it suited Megs personal style to a tee! ... Functionality was important as was a flattering shape for Meg, so there was some trouble shooting and some trial and error to work out the best way to make this ensemble work, but we came up with the best option to combat all of Megs needs. The result? A beautifully cinched waist with soft pleats through the leg. A boat neck lace blouse cut just below the collarbone with a v-shape neckline at the back with flutter cape style sleeves that allowed just the right amount of coverage on the arm and movement. Can we also point out all the hand sewn Swarovski Pearls hand sewn by Meg herself?! A tiny detail that bought extra life to the already 3D lace! We had matching covered buttons made as closure up the centre back of the blouse with a waist tie and bow to finish off the look. The blouse was attached to the jumpsuit strategically to ensure the entire look sat in place perfectly all day and night which also allowed for easy dressing - what more could you want in a Wedding Ensemble?! On another note - business is still running here at Dressmaking and Such (only myself in the studio as normal so nothing has changed there), although current work is just being finished for collection so clients can have their garments in their possession. No new clients or fittings are being done at present as the advice from the government is so rapidly changing... and it is not possible for me to stay 1.5m away from my clients when doing a fitting. We hope everyone is adhering to the advice and staying safe. If you have rescheduled a date for your wedding for next year, please be in contact so we can make a new timeline for your fittings and hopefully work everything out for you!

11.01.2022 How elegant is Nat?! Custom made draped off the shoulder sleeves added a special touch to Nats dress, using matching lace she was able to source from her dress designer. We also tailored Nats dress through the centre back to gain the perfect fit through her waist and over her bottom, repositioning the lace.... Also, can you imagine this dress without the buttons down the zip? We added Custom Made Covered Buttons made using the offcuts from when we shortened the hem, which were the finishing touch!

03.01.2022 Reflecting on the month that was February... With so many stunning clients, both men and women, February is easily the busiest month of the entire year here at Dressmaking and Such (hence you havent seen much activity on here this month!) I have loved working with every one of the Dressmaking and Such community - whilst the hours have been long (9am-10pm 7 days a week for around 2 weeks!) it is such an honour that my clients trust ME with their most precious dress or outfi...t they may ever wear. There are many dressmakers out there, so to have so many beautiful, appreciative and lovely people trust me to make their dream dress fit to perfection, is something hard to believe. (Especially after I was so scared to launch my own business full time, in fear I would be twiddling my thumbs with not much work... or go insane working on my own...) Bring on March!!
