Just Perfect

Wow! I don’t know where to start. Elizabeth created my perfect, dream wedding dress. It was truly stunning. From the moment I put it on at 11:30am before church, to the moment I took it off for bed at 2:30am, I loved every single second of wearing it. The fabric was gorgeous - so luxurious and soft, it caught the beautiful autumn light perfectly, filled the grand aisle of St Mary’s Church in Warwick and stood up to plenty of running around on the grass at Blackwell Grange for photos and a ridiculous amount of dancing! I have never felt so beautiful and it was mainly down to that absolutely divine dress that Elizabeth created. I am going to treasure it forever, as well as the memories I have now made whilst wearing it.

The process of working together to design it was so much fun! I loved going over Elizabeth's sketches with her, choosing the wonderful fabric together and coming to every fitting and seeing the progress each visit. Elizabeth was incredible throughout - so supportive, encouraging, understanding of my needs & desires in regards to the dress itself but also in her flexibility around my working pattern and not living very close to Wimpstone! I couldn’t have imagined going through my dress journey with anyone else and I am just so incredibly grateful and appreciative for all Elizabeth's ridiculously hard work that she put into creating a dress completely exceeding my expectations.

Wedding dress alterations

Liz is so incredibly talented, and knew exactly what to do with both of my wedding dresses! Liz made alterations that I didn't even know were possible, and worked to a very tight turnaround time, taking my budget and time constraints into consideration. In addition to altering my dresses, I also purchased a veil from Liz, after deciding very last minute to wear one! Liz helped me to find one that complimented my dress beautifully. Both dresses and veil fit perfectly and I felt amazing wearing them on the day! I would 100% recommend Liz - thank you so much! Tiffany

Fantastic experience

I can only highly recommend Liz. The moment I met her, I knew she was the right person to help me with my wedding dress. She has plenty of choice in her atelier. All the dresses are classy and sophisticated in their simplicity. Liz is very experienced and honest. She is also a perfectionist, very attentive to every single detail. The day I went to collect the dress, she did the final alterations on the spot, while I was waiting. Thank you Liz, we had a fantastic day and I felt so comfortable and great in my Marylise dress xx

Liz is wonderful!

Thank you so much to Liz for altering my wedding dress to make it fit me perfectly on the day! Liz is calm, flexible, knowledgeable and offered great advice on how to look after and press my second hand dress before the day. I trusted her completely. She also has so many wonderful elegant looking dresses for sale in her studio so would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a dress to arrange a visit to see her. She also made my mum a bespoke jacket for the day, which is stunning and just what my mum wanted. Liz is so talented and just who you need on your side when looking for or altering your dream dress. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Elizabeth is better than a fairy godmother!

I was looking for something really unusual... (and when I say unusual... every other bridal shop told me they could not help me/wouldn't have what I was looking for).
Elizabeth immediately answered yes to all of my requirements on my initial call...
I've just been for my first appointment and she understood so clearly, what I wanted, listend and offered some wonderful additions. We designed my dress together, she is creating my dream dress and I genuinely can't find words for how happy I am with it!

Liz created the dress of my dreams

I was very nervous at the idea of trying on wedding dresses and feeling comfortable during the day. Liz made it feel so comfortable and easy! I fell in love with the lace on a dress, and Liz created a unique piece for me from there. Her warmth and flexibility have made a huge difference for me. I couldn’t recommend her more!
