Greece lightning.

Christina came to see us and try dresses on all the way from Greece. She was only here for a few days, but fell in love with this tiered fifties dress with delicate embroidery. Christina managed to bring a friend back to see the dress and try it for a second time, but her decision had to be fast as she was flying home again. We did all our fitting and chatted about the alterations, petticoat and birdcage veil before she went. 

We adjusted the fit and shortened the dress by a couple of ruffles, giving us fabric to make the veil. Christina also used the lace to link the bride and groom's crowns for the ceremony.  We emailed photos of the birdcage veil, then adjusted it for Christina. We carefully packed up the finished dress and sent to Greece, using our very reliable courier.

"Hi ladies, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for my dress and birdcage veil! I was so happy to wear something that I felt was really me. It was also really comfortable and great for dancing, as you can see from the photos! I really could not have wished for a better dress and I’m so happy being a FCNK bride! Although I had just one fitting, I received the dress right on time and absolutely perfectly fitted. I also used the extra lace from the dress to make the crowns. I wish the best of luck to both of you and thanks for everything! Lots of love, Christina"
