[Testimonials]
“Words cannot express how grateful I am to Katsuko for creating my perfect wedding dress. It is often very difficult to express ideas from one’s mind but Katsuko developed it with such passion and perfection and made it exactly into the dress I had envisioned. Her patience and warm smile always made me and my bridesmaids look forward to our next fitting.
On my wedding day I felt like a princess and overwhelmed by the compliments of our friends and family. My husband couldn’t take his eyes of me and just loved it. Everyone was in awe and it made me feel very special.
Thank you so very much for all the hard work and detail you put in to making my wedding dress for my very special day. I absolutely love the dress and wish I could just wear it again and again…”
Elegant Pleated Top
This gown features a beautifully pleated top. The pleats add depth and reflect light as they move. The careful construction embraces the body while enhancing a feminine silhouette. The design combines a classic touch with a modern elegance.
The Charm of the Mermaid Line
The skirt follows a mermaid line. It fits smoothly from the waist to the thighs and then flares gracefully towards the hem. This silhouette highlights natural curves and creates a refined shape. With every step, the skirt moves gracefully, balancing sophistication and glamour.
The Presence of a Long Train
The gown carries a long train. It creates a dramatic effect, especially from the back. During the ceremony, the train shines when walking down the aisle. The flowing fabric moves gently and adds a sense of dignity to the moment.
Thirty Handcrafted Silk Flowers
The skirt is adorned with thirty silk flowers. I created each flower by hand, shaping every petal with care to add depth and softness. The flowers were then stitched onto the gown one by one. As they move lightly with each step, they bring life and individuality to the whole design. Subtle yet striking, they make the dress truly unique.
Silk Duchess Satin for the Top
The top is made from silk duchess satin. This fabric has a luxurious quality with a distinctive lustre. Its dense weave allows the garment to hold its structure while remaining comfortable. The smooth and rich texture of silk instantly gives the bride a sense of exclusivity.
Silk Georgette for the Outer Skirt
The outer skirt is crafted from silk georgette. This fabric is light and slightly sheer. It floats with every movement, almost like air. Its softness enhances the flow of the mermaid line, adding a sense of delicacy and elegance.
Silk Satin for the Inner Layer
The inner layer is made from silk satin. It feels smooth and gentle against the skin. Combined with the outer georgette, it creates transparency and depth. The blend of silk fabrics balances lightness with presence, giving the skirt a layered richness.
Bespoke Dressmaking in London
As a wedding dressmaker in London (Barnet), I create gowns tailored individually to each bride. This gown, like all of my work, was carefully designed and fitted to reflect both comfort and elegance. Every detail is chosen with precision.
The Beauty of Bespoke
A Bespoke gown is one of a kind. From fabric selection to design consultation and final fitting, the process is shared with the client. This allows a freedom and satisfaction that cannot be found in ready-made garments. A gown is never just clothing – it marks one of the most important chapters of life.
In Summary
This wedding gown brings together a pleated top, a mermaid line, a long train, and thirty silk flowers. Each of the flowers was handmade by me and carefully stitched onto the skirt. The top is crafted from silk duchess satin, while the skirt combines silk georgette and silk satin.
The fabrics and the handmade flowers complement one another, creating a gown that is elegant, personal, and made with true devotion for a once-in-a-lifetime day.
