So you may remember I mentioned that I had won the chocolate cake in the raffle at the Customers Service Awards last Thursday. Well here it is

So I still can’t quite believe that I won the Bridal wear category in the
A huge thank you to all my amazing clients that trusted me in making or altering their dresses and for leaving such lovely reviews. I am so grateful for your trust and support.

A huge thank you to my amazing husband who has stood beside me all these years and supported me in the good times and helped me through the bad. Also for helping me with all the wedding fairs. You are my rock and I couldn’t do this without you.

Then a huge thank you to who have also been a great support over the years. But for those of you who were not aware it was also my birthday yesterday and what a birthday it was. The lovely people at guides for brides all signed a lovely birthday card and I got a glass of Prosecco, I then went and won a huge chocolate cake in the raffle and then went on to win the award. Thank you for making it a memorable evening.

Thank you also to all my lovely wedding supplier friends who have also supported me through the years.

I can now call myself Award Winning.
I’m feeling so grateful and blessed right now

I’ve been having a bit of a trip down memory lane over the last couple of days. The 1/2 scale dress was a project I made at uni nearly 25yrs ago. The red dress is worn underneath the white dress. It has been living in the loft for years and has unfortunately discoloured a bit.
The Tudor outfit I made for my nephew to wear to school when they had a dress up day after studying the period. Again this was about 20yrs ago.
I’m taking part in a careers convention this week talking to students about careers in costume and dress making. I’m trying to decide what to take as there is very limited space and a long walk from the car so can’t carry any full scale models with dresses on.
Feeling the urge to make more period half scales. They look so cute. Shame I just don’t have the time

Just a heads up for anyone who advertises in Ox Weddings or any publication by Fyne Associates and doesn’t already know they filed for voluntary liquidation in December.

I’ve only just found out. I had paid for an article to be in their winter edition . I sent in all the work in December but hadn’t heard a thing. Yesterday I searched Fyne Associates and found the notice in Companies House

This is not a rant or gloat. I feel for those who lost their job before Christmas. I’m just trying to pass the information on in case any one else like me had paid for an upcoming advert and was wondering what was going on.

My Story

Bespoke gowns designed and made especially for you for your bid day

I love working with brides to create their dream wedding dress.

You have an input into the design and get to chose your own fabrics therefore the dress reflects your personality.

It really is a unique and exciting experience as you watch your dream dress come to life.
