A Silly Price Sale!

Much as I would love to keep hundreds of sample gowns and tutus in my studio for clients to experiment with, I'm afraid there simply is not the space! I have many ideas for new gown designs and run the risk of nowhere to display them! Therefore, some wedding gowns have been dramatically reduced in price to make room for new collections. Most gowns have been made to fit a size 10/12 display stand and will fit someone with measurements of:

bust:33"-36"
waist:26"-29"
upper hip:31"-33"
lower hip:34"-37"
upper arm:9"-11"
forearm: 9"-10"
upperarm length:22"
underarm length:19"
length from waist to hem 44"
This will be indicated by 10/12. An approximation will be given for exceptions to this - please email for exact measurements.

These designs can still be requested as made-to-measure orders after the sample has been sold - obviously this is the safest way to achieve the "fits-like-a-glove" effect I like to offer with my gowns. However, I have seen clients of sale gowns stunned by a fortunate fit.

The more you can tell me about your size and shape before visiting to view a sample, the less likely you are to have a wasted journey! I'm afraid you cannot work your way through all available samples to experiment with what suits - that is what a couture order is for. Please have a good look at the particular gown you are interested in on-line before visiting. I can often supply additional photos and swatches of the original fabrics.

Sorry, these gowns are only available to UK customers and only for cash payments.
Click on each image to view actual made-to-measure page if available. These gowns are in in a vey good state of repair - sometimes a size 10 sample gown has appealed to several larger ladies to order from, but has in fact never been worn. Others have only been worn for photos. If in doubt they will have been dry-cleaned. And if you are in doubt, do make a visit to view. Alternatively, if you wish to buy without visiting I will reduce the listed price in most cases and the costume/ gown can be couriered to you. No returns.

Please contact for details and measurements.
