Congratulations to Hannah and Jamie 🥰 just received some photos of this gorgeous wedding from the end of August. This project was a big alteration! Hannah bought a dress with sleeves and panels to cover the upper back, but had dreams of a backless gown with slender straps and a square front neckline. I made new straps from the removed sleeves and completely reshaped the front to the new design, as well as taking in the waist/seat and raising the hem. I’m thrilled to see it went well! And to hear how delighted the bride was with her unique look. More photos to follow on my website shortly, along with others from this years projects 😊 . . . #weddingdress #wedding #weddingday #bridal #bridalwear #bridalgowns #bespoke #bespokeweddingdress #alterations #bridalalterations #weddingdressdesign #couture #custom #customiseddress #customisedweddingdress #customizedweddingdress #sarahbarkerbridal
It feels sad to say it, but today I have finished packing up and have moved out of the studio 🚗🧳🧳🧳 Having this space for the last year and a bit has been an amazing adventure! I’ve learnt a lot about what I need and how I want to work. For the time being I’ll be working from home, and looking for a new space to grow into 😊
Lovely to see the first photos from Stine’s wedding 🥰 More to come, with the development story and other photos on my website soon. . . . #bride #wedding #weddingdress #weddinggown #bridal #bridalwear #londonwedding #londonweddingdresses #bespoke #bespokeweddingdress #bespokeweddingdresseslondon #couture #couturier #coutureweddingdress #madetomeasure #designyourowndress #patterncutter #patterncutting #joelandsonfabrics
