Prom 2019

2/10/2019

A crazy busy start to prom season at the studio.....
I often meet exhausted Mums who have been to many shops before they visit and the experiences they have had previously are not always great. The pre loved prom range offers a fantastic selection of carefully picked dresses at a fraction of the original price.
The dresses are fully cleaned,bagged in protective covers and just waiting for another outing!
A visit to the studio to view the dresses is relaxed and unpretentious.
Try as many dresses as you like and I am there to help if you need me, but I also understand when you need space.
Limited appointment slots available.
Please send a message via the contact page or call Deborah 07984166230.

Pre Loved Prom

1/25/2019

Selection Day
*****************
Pre Loved Prom 2019
**I can help sell your dresses**
Its that time again and I want all your beautifull dresses!
The Pre Loved Prom range was born 4 years ago and has grown in popularity each year.
Do you have a dress from last years Prom season that you would like to sell?
I am pleased to have now finalised the selection day where you can bring along your dress for it to be considered for the new collection.
I am looking for beautiful dresses in perfect, clean condition of all styles and sizes.

How it works.........
If your dress is suitable we will agree a selling price together. If I successfully find a buyer for your dress a commission of 30% is payable and the rest is yours.
You are free to take your dress if you find a private buyer (providing I have not agreed a sale)
The success of the collection is a combination of the girls still experiencing a shopping experience in comfortable surroundings and Mum saving a few pennies!
Your dresses will be showcased in my shop window on the busy A6 and also receive lots of advertising on social media.

Always makes me smile to receive photos from my brides x

New Year at the studio

1/3/2019

Well what a whirlwind 2018 was!
I will strive to keep you more updated of life in the studio throughout the New Year as I often have so many fabulous photos and events to share but somehow they never quite reach the blog....
It seems that bridal season no longer exists and there are a steady stream of brides visiting me throughout the year for both alterations and for my bespoke design service.
Throughout 2018 I also introduced some new services including bridal dressing and styling.

Bridal Dressing
Getting into your wedding dress can be a challenge, particularly if you have a large underskirt, a corset fastening or lots of fiddly buttons.
Once all your alterations are complete, you may feel more at ease to have some assistance on your big day to ensure every detail of your dress looks perfect. Stress levels on the day are often high and many brides during 2018 found the dressing service to be a perfect solution.

Bridal Styling
Any bride who visits me for alterations benefits from advice with regards to styling and accessories .
A beautiful dress can be turned into something sensational with the right finishing touches and I am on hand to help with hairpieces, veils, wraps and shrugs.
*******************************************
*From 2019 the above services can be offered to any bride even if alterations have not been carried out in the studio.

Bridal Alterations

4/30/2018

The studio rail is under some pressure at this busy time!
The most popular requests include inserting corset backs, shortening , taking in and also adding lace sleeves and decorative finishes. Special request to all brides to be........please allow 8-12 weeks to book in the diary. The alterations generally happen much nearer to the big day but an initial consultation around 3 months prior to the big day is perfect x

Well its been a while!

4/29/2018

Its been way too long since I last updated my news and the studio really has been busier than I ever could have imagined since opening the doors 4 years ago.
My days are filled working with lots of lovely brides to be and my reputation as a specialist seamstress is growing day by day.
My little studio in Greatmoor has recently expanded and I have now renovated the upper floor as the venue for lots of exciting and inspirational workshops and courses.
