[Testimonials]
I was looking for a special dress for my sister in law’s wedding party for a long time, but I couldn’t find the “right” one. I asked Katsuko to make a dress and she showed me many different type of fabrics, checked my skin tone and gave me some advise. She also listened conscientiously about what type of dress I wanted to have. My dress was perfect for the wedding and lots of people loved it, especially my mother in law who said “what a wonderful dress!”.
I was very happy at the end of the day. Thank you very much.
Bespoke orange wedding guest dress
A dressmaker in London creates the perfect wedding guest dress
For a client who had been searching for the “right” outfit for her sister in law’s wedding, I created a truly special dress. The bright orange tone illuminated the joyful atmosphere of the celebration and stood out beautifully in the garden setting. It combined elegance with presence, making it an ideal wedding guest dress.
Listening carefully and finding the perfect match
At the first consultation I listened attentively to the client’s wishes and the vision she had in mind. I introduced a selection of fabrics, considered how each one would suit the client’s skin tone and guided her in choosing the most flattering shade. The final choice was a radiant orange that both suited the client’s complexion and harmonised with the festive setting. It was the solution to a long search for the perfect dress.
The elegance of silk dupion
The dress was made from silk dupion, a fabric known for its subtle slubs and natural lustre. The slight irregularities in the weave give the textile a distinctive character, while the crisp handle helps maintain a graceful silhouette. Under natural light the fabric reflects a refined sheen, creating depth and elegance in photographs. It is also practical for formal occasions as it resists creasing while remaining comfortable to wear throughout the day.
Design: knee length with a deep back neckline
The silhouette was designed in a classic knee length style, cut to flatter while remaining comfortable for moving between the ceremony and the reception. The deep back neckline was the highlight of the design, adding refinement and femininity without being overly revealing. From the front the line is understated, while the back view brings a sophisticated balance that enhances the overall impression.
Styling on the day and the wonderful response
On the wedding day the client styled the dress with black heels for a polished look, complemented by pearl and silver accessories for an added touch of refinement. Many guests admired the dress, but the most memorable compliment came from her mother in law who said, “What a wonderful dress.” The client felt perfectly at ease throughout the celebration and described it as her ideal dress for the occasion.
