Susi came to see us last year, she had decided to have her dress made for different reasons, one being she is around 5 foot tall and she had tried a lot of dresses on which absolutely drowned her and she couldn’t get a feel for how the real dress would be when it had a whole foot cut off. But she also wanted a dress which was truly hers and that she had been much more part of the process of making it.
Susi tells me she now feels her dress has its own story with all the conversations and decisions we made along the route to her perfect dress.
Susi had princess style dress, it had motifs with beading on attached close together on the bodice and then less and less down her skirt. She had an internal corset, and buttons and loops at the back. The dress had many layers of netting in different weights. The top layer of the dress was made in the finest netting the same netting as is used for veils.
It was a very fun wedding to be part of, not only was it in The Hub, Edinburgh, which we love, Susi had hair and make up from our friends Rosie Fraser Make-up and Charlene Princess Cut Bridal Hair.
After her wedding i was told how special it was to walk up the royal mile in her wedding dress with her dad and her sister and niece and all the tourists were cheering on them and wishing her good luck.
We were fortunate enough that Susi agreed to be one of our models after her wedding, and she truly rocked the catwalk at the wedding show in Edinburgh Botanics Fashion Show
