Customer Reviews

A MUST HAVE for all sewing enthusiasts
I bought this book never having heard of the author before. I was fairly "blown away" by the high quality of the information offered, the wonderful works shown and the fact that this author obviously cares about those who will use her book. She provides her readers with some of the best, complete and accurate information I have ever seen written in a book. The reader (in this case me) knows that she/he is being provided with information of the highest standard, the author doesn't withhold important facts and obviously loves what she does as seen in the quality work she produces. Sewing from the soul.I don't do Bridal Sewing but am interested in Couture Sewing. This book is one of the finest on the subject. I highly recommend it.
A Wealth of Information, Regardless of Your Skill Level
This book is fantastic, regardless of how much knowledge you have on the subject of sewing or textiles. Susan's discussions of the various types of fabrics used in formal and bridal sewing will help novices speak knowledgeably about what they want. As a professional bridal seamstress with a background in costuming I was particularly impressed with the way the author emphasizes how a garment should "behave" and that she gives suggestions on fabrics to be used as linings and interlinings. How a dress is made on the inside is vitally important to how it looks on the outside, and this book will help novices understand why that is and help professionals to achieve it. This book is definitely a must have for anyone involved in making a wedding gown, whether you are a bride or a seamstress.
Everthing I hoped for!
As an experienced amateur seamstress I was looking for a book that would guide me through both designing and sewing a wedding dress for my 6'3" daughter. This book was exactly what I needed to accomplish my goal. Step by step I was able to complete each part of the gown. The final product was stunning and much of the beauty of the gown was because of the construction techniques on the inside that no one would know about eg. lining the fabric (bodice only) with white baby flannelette and treating it as one piece. The beautiful, smooth, princess seams were perfect. In reading the details and applying them to my situation I was able to create a lovely gown. With a good sewing background, a passion for perfection, love for my daughter and her dream dress AND this wonderful book it was everything I had hoped for and would highly recommend it.

Altering a handmade couture wedding gown?

I am thinking of buying a size 4 cymbeline wedding gown. My real size is about a 2. Is it safe to alter? Would it even work without looking weird? How much does alterations on wedding gowns usually cost?


Almost all wedding gowns need altering, for that custom fit. So it will of course be safe to alter it, if you have experience altering wedding gowns. A wedding gown is a lot different from a regular dress, so only use a professional/experienced seamstress.

Couture wedding dresses stolen from bridal boutique in Wolverhampton

Couture wedding dresses stolen from bridal boutique in Wolverhampton

The owner and designer at a top bridal boutique in the West Midlands has been left devastated after her shop was targeted by thieves who stole 40 wedding gowns during the raid.

20 of the gowns stolen during the break-in were couture dresses designed and created in-house by the owner, Patricia Onions. The owner of Patricia Couture revealed it would take her years to build up her bespoke collection again and is pleading with the people who stole the irreplaceable gowns, which have starting prices from £2,000 each, to return these dresses.

The other 20 dresses which were stolen after robbers smashed the front doors of the boutique were shop samples used for brides-to-be to try on. There dresses ranged in price from £1,000 each and Mrs Onions says these can be re-ordered, although the dresses will take 20 weeks to be delivered which she fears will have a detrimental effect on her business.
