Michele's dress was actually partly shop bought and partly bespoke.She found the simple lace sheath for a good price and then had me add the chiffon shoulder covering and sleeves to make her perfect dress.

I used a white silk chiffon and bound the edges with white satin ribbon for the shear look Michele wanted. The back of the new part fastened above the main dresses zip with a single button and loop.

Similar work (style additions only) £290 including silk chiffon
To make whole dress bespoke from £1200

The bought dress before I began work

The main dress needed some size alterations for Michele's petite figure before the main work could begin. Then the top of the bodice was opened p to allow the chiffon layer to be inserted neatly. Once everything was in place the original scalloped lace edging was re-applied to soften the join.

Toile fitting

A rough cut of the chiffon parts was made up and a pinned on while Michele wore the dress to asses fit and style. Look closely and you'll see the pins marking where her final neckline will go. The original dress had come with a very wide and bulky duchess satin sash which didn't suit Michele at all so we also experimented with softer ribbons at this fitting to find a sash style that would suit the dress and Michele's figure.
