"Wedding dress of dreams"

A special thank you to Erica and Christine for your hard work and dedication in bringing both my wedding dress and mother of the bride dress visions to life. As I said to you during our first telephone call, I did not want to stress and disappointment of traipsing around bridal shops, and you literally took all that worry away. It was always a pleasure for mum and I to come for fittings, we loved seeing the dresses progress, and both felt amazing on the big day. Thank you both x

"Could not have asked for more!"

Right from the first phone conversation with Erica, I knew it was the perfect designer for my dress.

She understood absolutely everything I wanted and came up with the most perfect design.

I’ve never been particularly comfortable with how I look but the dress Erica made me feel like such a Princess. I can honestly say for the first time ever I felt comfortable and happy with how I looked.

For the entirety of the designing and fitting process Erica and her team have worked tirelessly to make the dress exactly how I wanted, keeping me updated with how it was coming along.

We had the most perfect amazing day and every single person commented how beautiful my dress was. I was comfortable in it which was such a massive deal and made the day even more special without worrying about if I looked ok.

I would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for a unique dress made perfectly how you want it to look that will make you feel like a million dollars.

Thankyou Erica!

"Dream wedding dress makers!"

Where do I even start! Erica and the whole team are just AMAZING! The wedding dress I wanted didn’t exist so I went to see Erica. I had quite a specific vision from the silhouette to the fabric and I was so nervous to put my faith into someone bringing that to life. I needn’t have been, it was quite literally as I imagined it, the most beautiful dress made by the loveliest bunch of people! The whole experience was a joy and I can’t thank them all enough!

"Beautiful bespoke dress"

Erica and her team are friendly, hardworking and really talented. Through the design process, Erica was supportive and open to any ideas. She presented different material options and sourced the exact finishings to complete the dress. The dress was altered to fit me perfectly and I could make decisions on details such as the length of sleeves, lace positioning etc. throughout the fitting process. The result was a beautiful dress and veil of the highest quality and craftmanship. Thank you again to Erica and Christine.

"Erica is simply amazing!!"

Erica is simply amazing. I had been really unlucky trying to find a dress off the shelf as there always seemed to be just one aspect of each dress I didn't like. I met with Erica with my mum and brothers (bridesmaids) and she explained everything really clearly, and essentially said she would be able to create the dress of my dreams for me.

Throughout the process she was excitable, kind, warm and the communication was excellent. She has amazing ideas and came up with things I hadn't even thought of that I loved. The dress was absolutely stunning and my husband was blown away. I am still getting comments from people over a month later about how stunning I looked in my dress. The train, veil and cape she made me were all beautiful too.

She was always so flexible with fittings as I often work late but she stayed late for me on more than one occasion. She is extremely talented and I absolutely loved every minute of being in my dress from the moment I put it on. If you're not sure what kind of dress you want or want something more bespoke (but still really reasonably priced) I cannot recommend Erica enough. Thank you, Erica!

"Perfect dress"

Erica is Amazing, such a beautiful and friendly person. She made a dress for my sister’s wedding and I knew, one day I would love for her to make one for me. Indeed she did and my dress was perfection! For when I saw the sketches and designs I was so excited to see the outcome. I really enjoyed the process of my dress being made, not to mention in 6 months due to the pandemic. She really made my dream dress a reality.
Thank you so so much x

"The perfect dress!"

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for making me the most amazing dress, you really did a fabulous job and I loved every second of wearing it! It felt like quite a risk getting a dress made but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’m so glad you brought my ideas to life with perfection! 🤍

"Absolutely brilliant - highly recommend!"

I cannot put into words how absolutely amazing Erica was throughout the entire process of designing and making my dress. My dress was perfect; better than I imagined and was so unique. The quality was amazing and Erica gave me so many options to make sure I got exactly what I wanted for my dress.

Our wedding was postponed for a year due to the pandemic, and Erica was so helpful throughout. We had lots of appointments throughout to make sure that everything was going smoothly, to make any amendments and to look at the fabric options again.

Erica was extremely professional and genuinely just a lovely person. She's able to sketch your ideas and bring them to life perfectly. If you're looking for something completely unique, brilliantly made and beautiful, then I cannot recommend Erica highly enough.

"Dress broke two days before wedding and poorly fitted"

t’s taken me a while to be able to write this due to the upset caused but unfortunately I didn’t have a good experience.
Pros - Erica was a super friendly woman
Cons - unfortunately I only saw the first draft of my dress 4 weeks before my wedding which caused a lot of stress and sleepless nights. I was told that this was not normal.
Due to the time management, I didn’t get a full mock up of the dress and instead had a mock up of the top but the bottom was made straight away. I feel that this contributed to the fitting issues with my final dress.
Due to the time management I felt that my dress was really poorly fitted - it was far too big but as I was lead to believe there wasn’t enough time to sort it (through no fault of my own) I took the dress home. I appreciate that it was felt that I had lost weight in the 5 months since I was first measured but that’s what alterations are for and this dress was supposed to be bespoke and made to fit me.

Despite the poor fit, I was going to wear the dress as the time constraints meant I had few other options. However, when doing a dress rehearsal of my outfit, the zip on the dress broke (this was two days before the wedding). Erica did offer to fix it but it would have meant hours of travelling for myself the day before the wedding and on the morning of the wedding.

I really feel that I didn’t have the proper bridal experience. Not only did I have to wear something else for my wedding (and the stress of sorting that out) but I had weeks of stress leading up to and the day of my wedding. I even cried on the morning of because I didn’t have a dress I was happy with.
Because of all the stress and the last minute nature of it all, I felt overwhelmed during my appointments (which as they were offered or arranged the day before, meant I couldn’t invite anyone along with me for any of them) and was so relieved when I finally had a dress, I didn’t feel like I had time to take it all in and spot the problems with the dress but as professionals, I would have expected the fitting issues to be identified by them.

Edit - Erica did not offer to drive all the way to us but half way. This was still not possible as it would have meant cancelling pre planned wedding events and it’s not what I expected to have to do the night before my wedding. Regardless, I wouldn’t expect the dress to break after wearing it for 10 minutes max

"Having my wedding dress designed and…"

Having my wedding dress designed and made by Erica was a delight!
I had a vague idea of the style but some how just through describing and talking it through (on FaceTime thanks to Covid!) Erica managed to sketch the most beautiful dress.
There was no stress or drama through out the process. It was so enjoyable.
I loved my dress and am still in awe at the craftsmanship involved.
Erica and Christine are genuinely very talented!
