Wedding dress for Thalia Doani
modelled by client

Thaila commissioned a simple wedding dress made up in ivory silk satin and georgette.
The dress is cut princess-line with a sweet heart neckline. The softly a-line skirt in georgette extends to a puddle train at the back. The sleeves are unlined and cut with flared ends draping to a 'medieval' point.

The dress had a wrist loop so Thalia could hold the train up easily when she was outside. The same loop was used to 'bustle' the train in the evening for hands free ease of dancing.

The wedding was perfect, and I loved the dress. It couldn't have been better made. Thank you very much for doing such a great job. You will definitely hear from me again in the future.
I am thinking of having a full length coat made around summer time for next winter, so I'll get in touch around that time.

Pictures from first toile fitting

What is a toile?
After I take your measurements I draft a flat paper pattern for your dress. The pattern is then cut out in a cheap fabric (usually calico) and sewn together for a fitting. Any adjustments needed are pinned on and copied over to the paper pattern ready to be used on the real fabric. The toile stage saves expensive mistakes with your real materials and means you can check the fit and style are perfect in time for a complete change of mind if need be!
