Wow. I never thought I'd say my wedding dress was handmade but Anne made it happen. I tried on so many dresses which were beautiful but never felt quite right. I saw Anne's sketch from our conversation and my mum and sister were speechless. …More

I highly recommend Anne for her incredible work on my wedding dress. From the very first appointment, she completely understood the look I wanted and translated all my ideas into a simple sketch that perfectly captured my vision. She was always patient with my indecisiveness and always willing to make changes along the way. The quality of her craftsmanship was second to none, and the attention to detail and care she put into every part of the dress were outstanding. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she managed to finish everything well ahead of the wedding — even though I came to her a bit last minute!

If you want your dream wedding dress then go to Ann. She’s such a lovely lady, and so clever and talented. My dress was even better than I could have imagined, and she gave me options and advice at all stages and I couldn’t have been happier. My dress was absolutely perfect and cost less than what I would have chosen in a standard bridal shop. You also don’t need to pay for alterations which saves a further £3-400. Put your faith in Ann, she really is incredible

Wow. I never thought I'd say my wedding dress was handmade but Ann made it happen. I tried on so many dresses which were beautiful but never felt quite right. I saw Ann’s sketch from our conversation and my mum and sister were speechless. We all knew it was the dress. Ann was accommodating from start to finish and listened to all my wants. She was happy to change things and make adjustments throughout the process. Her love for making wedding dresses made the process completely stress free and her eye to detail is incredible. The dress was so well made and for such reasonable prices. This woman is an incredible artist and I am so extremely grateful to have worn her dress.

I found Ann online when I was looking for someone to make a dress for my 25th Wedding Anniversary blessing, we arranged a date to meet and I took a photo of a dress I had seen and liked although it was not very clear this was not a problem for Ann we talked through the best fabric and also suggested she made a inner corset  which I hadn't even thought about.
From start to finish Ann was amazing I felt completely at ease each time we met about how the dress was coming along, all the things she thought about to make sure the dress looked the best and I felt comfortable in was wonderful she is so talented and I can not thank her enough I felt like a million dollars wearing my dress on the day and had and still am getting so many complements on how beautiful the dress was and this is purely down to Ann's talent, she is such a lovely lady and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to have a wedding dress made to give her a call.

What can I say? From the beginning of the journey, with a few unformed ideas of mine, until the day I collected my beautiful dress, speaking with Ann was a pleasure.
I wanted to incorporate some starfish into my dress, as a special element and a theme for our marriage. The result was magical and I cannot thank her enough. Ann, you are incredibly talented, and just lovely. Thank you xx

The whole experience from start to finish was just perfect. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted and was not able to find it’off the peg’. Ann was able to take my ideas and turn them into a beautiful dress.
Ann was calm and professional but also very friendly and approachable. She listened to any suggestions and made any changes as the process progressed. Having a large bust, I was concerned about how this would work but Ann was able to put in enough support to make the dress feel comfortable and still look lovely.
She always made me feel at ease and has produced the most beautiful, dress that is exactly what I wanted. She is a very talented dressmaker and I would recommend her without hesitation.
I’m getting married in two days time and cannot wait to wear my lovely dress. Thank you Ann from the bottom of my heart.❤️

I contacted Ann to see if she could fit me in to make my Dress for our Renewal of Wedding Vows ceremony.
I went to the first meeting with 2 photographs of different dresses and asked if she could but the parts i liked from both dress together to make my dream dress.
Ann went above and beyond... the most gorgeous Autumnal fabric was found and just like a Fairy godmother she produced the most amazing dress that flattered my Plus size figure ?.
Ann put my mind at ease from day 1 and her warm ,kind nature made me leave my body issues at the front door .
The morning of the Renewal i put on my dress and looked in the mirror and i felt truly beautiful.. The comments i received throughout the day prove what an amazing dress maker Ann is and i recommend her whole heartedly.
Thankyou so much Ann and i hope you like the photos i sent you . Xxxx

Ann created my perfect dress, she exceeded my expectations. Very personable and has made the experience a delight. I had compliments all night about how beautiful my dress was and it is unbelievable how she can create such a work of art for the price she charges. Absolutely love my dress, I cannot praise Ann's workmanship or talent enough.

I am so happy I chose Ann to make my lovely wedding dress. Nothing was too much trouble and the dress came out exactly how I wanted. Fair pricing for the excelent service. Would deffinatly reconmend.
