Abingdon, Oxfordshire

I had already purchase a gown but could not fall in love with it even though it was exactly what I thought I wanted, Suzie very quickly identified it was the wrong fabric and did not fall right and the wrong colour for my skin tone. She very quickly selected fabrics, colours and style and made the most beautiful gown to complement my curves and colours. Everyone commented on how beautiful my dress is/was and i felt a million dollars on the day, so comfortable and swishy, sparkling yet sophisticated. Complex in some areas yet plain in others . I could not recommend Suzie and her skills highly enough.

Susie is an extremely talented and professional dressmaker and was a delight to work with. Being petite, I had been unable to find anything in the mother of the bride range that suited me. Susie came up with some fantastic ideas and was able to create the perfect lace top and trouser outfit. I will definitely be returning to Susie to when my second daughter marries and I have already recommended her to many of my friends.

Susie turned my beautiful Maggie Sottero dress into one that was like it was made to measure. It fitted me yet was so comfortable to wear all day long and the length was perfect. My dress had a lot of beadwork and lace and I could only trust Susie with this, after I saw the intricate work she did creating my sister's wedding dress from scratch. She has a lovely fitting room as well, the fittings were very efficient, calming yet exciting at the same time. Thank you :)

Hi Lucy. It was an absolute pleasure working on your beautiful Maggie Sottero dress. Thank you for the photos. You looked stunning. It was lovely getting to know you and I’m glad you had a great wedding day.
Susie and I have worked together on several mutual weddings and collaborated on photoshoots. She is a joy to work with. Professional, creative, approachable and meticulous attention to detail.
She spends time getting to know her clients to create dresses that exceed expectations. I would happily recommend Susie to anyone looking for a bespoke couture dress.

I have had the pleasure of working with Susie on a few Bridal projects and shoots over the last few years. She is very knowledgeable in her skill and her professionalism shines through to her finished bridal gowns, I am particularly fond of her blush dress !

Thank you Kelly. Lovely working with you too over the last few years.
I knew Susie through the fact that she made my eldest daughter’s Wedding Dress for her. A beautiful dress.
My youngest daughter and I, had no hesitation in asking Susie to make alterations to her quite intricate lacy Wedding Dress. Susie did a wonderful job, and it fitted like a glove, quite stunning. My daughter was thrilled to bits, and had a wonderful day wearing it confidently.
Two lovely Weddings Dresses with huge thanks to Susie.

Thank you Jo. It was a pleasure getting to know you over the last few months and an honour to work on your beautiful dresses. Thank you also for the photos that you sent me. You both look absolutely stunning.
I was very lucky to find Susie, who helped me get ready for my son's slightly less formal wedding by making me a little silk jacket, a copy of one I already had. It was perfect - beautifully made and just what I wanted. Susie was extremely sympathetic and helpful - even though it was a comparatively small job, she was thorough and painstaking. Thoroughly recommended.

I’m so pleased to of been able to help with your Mother of Groom outfit. I loved making your jacket and it complimented your dress perfectly. I’m glad you had a great day.
Susie did an absolutely fantastic job of making my wedding dress earlier this year! I had found a sample Catherine Deane silk chiffon wedding skirt, which I loved, and was hoping to have a lace bodice made to turn it into a dress. After meeting Susie, I knew she was the person to do it - she completely understood what I had in mind and was really helpful, responsive and willing to accommodate every adjustment I asked for, no matter how small. She also did a brilliant job of altering the dresses for my two bridesmaids and is generally just a really lovely and friendly person to work with. My dress turned out even better than I could have imagined, thanks to Susie's incredible skill and vision, and was completely transformed from the original skirt that I brought to her. The quality of the finished dress was amazing and I was so thrilled to wear it for my wedding - I particularly loved swishing it around for our first dance! Thank you so much, Susie! :)

Read lessSusie altered my wedding dress for my wedding this summer. She is incredibly talented at what she does and completed a lot of detailed lace work as well as the bustle. The dress on completion was just beautiful and the alterations were made so precisely that the dress fitted perfectly. Susie never rushed my appointments and is a lovely, calm person. She also altered my bridesmaid dresses and again, we were really pleased with the alterations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Susie and would definitely use her services again.
