We are situated just five minutes from West Worthing Station, with complimentary private parking available directly outside for a seamless arrival. Our boutique is situated at 61 St Andrews Road, Worthing, West Sussex, BN13 1HW

To ensure our signature level of undivided attention, we operate strictly by private appointment. Your two-hour sanctuary session allows you to explore our collections in a serene, exclusive environment, accompanied by fine chocolates, refreshments, and the expert guidance by the designer directly.

We offer appointments 7 days per week between 11am and 9pm but are limited due to high demand, due to our exclusive design service so please  allow enough time to book in. we recommend 10 months before your wedding date.

Absolutely! We are the UK's definitive destination for size-inclusive luxury, showcasing wedding dress samples from 6 - 36 and specialising in sizes 16+. Our wedding dresses can be tried on by all size brides with clamps and clips used for any samples not fitting. Our dresses are designed specifically to provide an enjoyable try on experience for every size bride.

Pricing depends on the level of service you require as we offer 3 pricing tiers, but our brand new  made to proportion wedding dresses start at £1,000 for our Made to order service. Most brides spend on average £1,500 - £2,000 as they love our customised and bespoke options. 

Made to proportions mean your wedding dress is created specifically to your body measurements  of shoulder to floor including wedding day shoes, bust, waist and hips to accommodate your unique shape. Extra measurements are taken depending on the dress style required and never a standard size. This allows the gown to be designed correctly from the start, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for alterations. 

Yes, our wedding dresses are made from lots of different fabrics so you get to try them on against your skin. We also have swatch charts showcasing 171 colours, so you never have to order blindly or risk receiving the wrong shade. 

We offer a tactile, bespoke design experience where you can explore silhouettes, fabrics, and design elements before any sewing begins. Brides are guided through every decision with clarity and confidence. 

Our couture gowns are created in just three months — significantly faster than traditional bridal timelines — without compromising quality or craftsmanship. Please note although your dress production is just 3 months you need to allow 10 months in all including securing our dressmakers who will order your fabrics, 3 months for your dress production and allowing our highly recommended seamstress 16 weeks for alterations if needed. 

Because your wedding dress is made to your exact proportions in just 3 months significant body changes are far less problematic than with standard bridal ordering. We guide you carefully through timing and measurements. A bit of Tweaking is normal and minimal in cost, but if you change in size causing the dress to not fit as perfect as expected, you will need alterations at your own cost to the seamstress directly.

Yes. Our process is designed to remove fear, not create it. Brides are able to try dresses on, see fabrics, and understand their options clearly before any commitment is made.
