“Words can’t describe how beautiful and fantastic Catherine is. Her talents, incredible skills and just sensational personality made the whole wedding dress experience a dream I will never forget. From the very first day we met we just clicked and she knew exactly what I was thinking and what I wanted for my dream dress! Her attention to detail and experience meant that all my best features of my body where enhanced and bits I was self-conscious about just disappeared.
Thank you so much for making me look like and feel like a princess. If anyone is thinking of having a gown made look no further!” Natasha

"I was so lucky to have the amazing and incredibly talented Catherine Hunter to help design and make my wedding dress. Taking everything in her stride even when I completely changed my design and we started again, she made the entire experience a complete dream from start to finish and by the end I had more than a talented dress maker but a friend. It’s hard to believe that someone can get so attuned to you and bring all of your ideas in your head to reality but that’s exactly what she does, she works her magic and brings all your hopes to life and no matter your shape she will make you look utterly flawless and amazing. When standing there in my dress for the final Fitting I felt incredible and I owe it all to Catherine, there aren’t enough words to describe how grateful I am for you making me feel a million dollars on my wedding day."
