Abi

Abi wanted a comfortable dress that she would be able to dance in at her wedding. She chose a simple style with a fitted bodice, boat neckline at the front, scooped at the back and capped sleeves. We designed a pleated skirt with a floor length hem but added a detachable train which was also pleated to disguise the join. A row of self-covered buttons was the only decoration. By contrast her veil was decorated with tiny pearls and crystals and her artificial flower headdress was hand-tinted to match the joyful colours of her special day.

This dress took approximately 25 hours to make.
