Testimonials

Catherine works really closely with all of her Brides. They become friends, and it's really an honour for her to become part of such an important journey. Here are some of the kind words her Brides have said.

"Catherine's enthusiam showed at every single stage, and it was contagious. It's wonderful to see someone love what they do so much, and be so amazing at it."
Jenny

“When I was advised to get a wedding dress made for me I had my doubts, but once I met Catherine all those doubts were immediately flushed away. She knew just from looking at me what would suit my figure and the end result was better than I could ever have imagined. At the wedding I cannot count the amount of people who used the word ‘stunning’. I would recommend Catherine to any of my friends and family and I hope one day to take my daughter to her for her wedding gown.” Debbie

"The final fitting was wonderful. I tried on the dress and was blown away by how perfect it was. Catherine is a genuine beautiful person, both inside and out. It was an honour having her be part of one of the most important days of my life." Shermin

“Catherine is a very professional, warm and caring person. She has the ability to realise your dream without having to be too prescriptive. She has an intuitive ability which enables her to design, adjust, flex and deliver just what you want. Catherine was faced with quite a challenge. I live in Germany, and after my initial measurements, I lost a lot of weight, so she did a fabulous job to basically re-design and re-make my dream dress in less than 6 weeks. She should win an award!” Michelle

“My experience with Catherine was amazing. From the studio to the personal service, Catherine has created a magical experience. I was not getting married for the first time and I still felt it was the best experience I had ever had.” Sally

“Catherine was the most incredible designer to work with. In our first meeting she took the inspiration I gave her for my dress and drew a design that was absolutely perfect, and just what I had envisioned! Catherine showed me the right fabrics for my budget and her energy and enthusiasm for her work made me feel so excited about the process. When I had my final fitting she made the day so special and was also kind enough to lend me a veil, Two of my friends have decided to use her for their dresses too!”

“I can’t believe my luck in finding you. From the first phone call to collecting my dress, I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, creative, detail-focused person to have made my dream dress. Thank you doesn’t cover it.” Rebecca

“Probably the best decision I made in respect of the whole wedding (apart from choosing my husband!) was to go to Catherine for my dress. We had a very non-traditional wedding, and had quite a lot of additional stress in the build-up, but the dress process was absolutely stress free from the first moments of the design to getting into it on the day. It was the one thing I really didn’t worry about. It was comfortable, totally unique and reflective of me. There was no-one who wasn’t utterly bowled over by it. I can’t speak highly enough of Catherine and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.” Rebecca

“Thank you for being calm, thoughtful, creative and supportive. Mum has a terminal illness and so much of the wedding was made less stressful for her by your reassurance and expertise. So I really am very grateful.” Cathy

“From the second I stepped into the studio I was blown away! I found that I was quite stressed and felt so negative about this stage in organising my wedding. All of that melted away when I met Catherine. She is a wonderfully calming, positive and mentally healing lady, and I knew straight away I was in good hands! I don’t even believe Catherine understands how absolutely amazing she is. I am so glad I found her for my dress and I will do anything to pass this on to other brides!” Alison

“Thank you doesn’t seem like enough to say, you are absolutely amazing. I enjoyed each appointment, we are going to miss you. You are incredible at what you do and you made me feel like a princess on my special day!” Jodie

“Catherine designed and made a Mother of the Bride outfit for me in dove grey silk and lace – dress and jacket – which was beyond all expectations and gave me the greatest confidence when wearing it. It was greatly admired by everyone. I was so grateful to Catherine. She is a lovely, warm, talented person and nothing is too much trouble for her.” Lady Carol
