                                          personality of the wearer to be fused
   with the original idea'
            (Metric pattern cutting: a unique, completely metric method for designing beautiful clothes. Winifred Aldrich 1991)

Design and Make your own Wedding dress..

The bride here already was proficient at sewing but had never attempted anything as special as her wedding dress. She bought us in to help her go the extra mile with her sewing techniques with great results.
June and Ria helped Claire design her dress, June made the pattern for it and Ria went along to London to buy the fabric. We provided several sessions in Claires home to help her make up the first toille (draft piece), cut it out and make her wedding dress.
