[Testimonials]

“Katsuko was amazing, and we got the perfect dresses we wanted with expert and personal service.

We are both under 5′ so no store was able to cater for us. We explained what I wanted for my dress and for my mum’s dress, and Katsuko immediately drew the perfect gowns for us and showed us the best quality fabrics I had ever seen or touched in my life.

After just a few fittings, the dresses were ready. Katsuko ensures a wonderful, stress-free experience for young and old.

I had a second wedding ceremony in a care home abroad for my in-laws, who were unable to travel to England, and had the pleasure of wearing the dress and saying my vows to my beloved husband for a second time! It cost less than in the stores too!!!”

 

Crafting Anita’s Elegant Ivory Dress

 

 

 

 

Designing the Mother’s Silver-Blue Masterpiece

 

For Anita’s mother, I, as a dedicated wedding dressmaker in London, crafted a breathtaking dress in silver-blue silk duchess satin, a fabric that exudes refined luxury. The dress features a classic straight silhouette, tailored to skim the body gracefully and end at knee length for a timeless, elegant look.

 

I adorned the waist and cuffs with delicate silver-blue lace, adding a touch of intricate detailing that enhances the dress’s understated glamour. The round neckline softens the overall design, framing the collarbone beautifully and offering a universally flattering shape. Like Anita’s dress, it includes a silk habotai lining for comfort and an invisible zip at the back for a polished, seamless appearance.

 

This design captures the mother’s radiant poise, ensuring she shines alongside her daughter on this special day.

 

The Allure of Silk Duchess Satin and Lace

 

Silk duchess satin, chosen for the mother’s dress, is a fabric of unparalleled elegance, known for its smooth, lustrous surface and substantial weight. Its dense weave gives it a sculptural quality, holding the straight silhouette perfectly while reflecting light with a soft, radiant glow. This fabric’s firmness allows it to maintain clean lines, yet it drapes beautifully, creating a sophisticated balance of structure and fluidity.

 

The silver-blue hue adds a serene, almost ethereal quality, making it ideal for a mother’s dress that commands attention with quiet grace. The silver-blue lace at the waist and cuffs introduces a delicate contrast, its intricate patterns adding texture and a hint of vintage charm. Paired with the silk habotai lining, which provides breathable comfort, this combination ensures the dress feels as luxurious as it looks, perfect for a day filled with celebration.

 

A Privilege to Create Timeless Memories

 

Designing and crafting these dresses for Anita and her mother was an immense honour. As a wedding dressmaker in London, I pour my heart into every stitch, ensuring each piece reflects the wearer’s unique beauty and personality.

 

Anita’s ivory silk dupioni dress, with its delicate embroidery and beads, captures her radiant spirit in a bespoke wedding dress that feels both modern and timeless. Her mother’s silver-blue silk duchess satin dress, accented with lace, embodies elegance and poise, perfectly complementing the occasion.

 

Both dresses, finished with invisible zips and silk habotai linings, showcase the meticulous care I take in creating garments that are as comfortable as they are beautiful. These creations are more than dresses; they are cherished memories woven into fabric, designed to make this mother and daughter feel extraordinary on their special day.
