We set about pimping this vintage dress for Claire's Liverpool Street wedding. She had lovingly nicknamed it the 'Corpse Bride' dress, but could definitely see the potential. It started as a full length dress with long sleeves, but we shortened the hem and graduated it, leaving the back longer and re-applying the beautiful lace border. We fitted the bodice, re-lined it and shortened the sleeves. Finally, we made a graduated cut petticoat, a long silk sash which was tied in a knot with long tails and pinned a stunnning vintage brooch on the back. Claire finished off with two pairs of amazing shoes, that she could change during the day.

Anyway, I wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to both of you. Everything from start to finish was brilliant - we knew the minute we walked in that this was the shop for us and we were 100% right. Wish I could do it all again. Hope you like the pics! Claire x"
