Wedding dress for Alison Koster
modelled by client

Alison's dress was made up in ivory silk dupion and worn with fabulous red shoes!
The bodice was fitted and boned with an off the shoulder neckline. The whole bodice was ruched to the hip line with a pretty 'ballet pinch' at centre front. The skirt flared out over layers of netting to a 'tea-length' just below the knee.

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!
