Our Made-to-Proportion bridal service at Carolyn Anne’s Bridal in Worthing, West Sussex, offers a revolutionary approach to wedding dress design. Unlike standard sizing, each gown is crafted around your unique measurements, creating a perfect fit for every curve. This service is ideal for plus-size brides, ensuring that your dress celebrates your body rather than reshaping it. With size-inclusive samples and expert guidance from our elite team of artisans, our made-to-proportion dresses often minimise — and sometimes completely eliminate — the need for costly alterations. Brides across London, Sussex, and the UK trust our boutique for personalised fittings, exclusive in-house designs, and a luxury, confidence-led bridal experience.

Most wedding dresses are designed to standard body measurements, often leaving brides needing extensive alterations just to achieve the right fit. These standard sizes are created for mannequins, not real bodies, so they rarely accommodate your unique shape. As a result, you can end up facing multiple fittings and costly alterations on top of the price you’ve already paid for your dress.

Did you know most brides spend £300–£600 on alterations? Our "Made-to-Proportion" service uses your exact measurements— For example bust, waist, hip, and height—to build your dress from scratch.

Because we build the dress to your body’s unique architecture, 99% of our brides require zero alterations at their final collection. It fits perfectly the moment you step into the dress.

Unlike traditional bespoke which can take 12 months, our expert artisans can deliver your custom-proportioned gown in as little as 3 months.
