Bespoke Dressmaking
At BMC we specialise in bespoke dressmaking and customisations.
Also, we make bespoke changes and customizations to your already purchased dress. The most popular changes we are requested to make are adding sleeves, lace backs, lining sheer bodices and creating beautiful overskirts.
Bespoke changes to your dress can be a lovely way to add your personal touch to make your dress truly unique to you.
Often your bridal boutique is able to order matching fabric to your dress for the changes, however we have a huge range of fabrics and lace we are able to order to compliment your dress to make changes as seamless as possible!
Bespoke dresses are the perfect way of having exactly what you love, without the need for any compromise.
Popular bespoke dresses for 2024 include bridal mini’s- perfect to dance the night away, or for a pre-wedding ceremony, rehearsal dinner or even for you hen party!

FAQs
We usually start making your dress around 6 months before your wedding, but the ideal time for a consultation is around a year before.
We would invite you to come in for a consultation to talk through the design and fabrics. After the design is decided we will make a toile for you to try, this is a mock up of the design in calico fabric to check the fit of the pattern we have drafted to your measurements. Then we do a series of fittings until your dress is finished. Usually you will need between 3-8 fittings which we would book well in advance.
Our bespoke prices start from £700- £5000+ price all depends on the style and fabric chosen. We offer a payment plan of splitting the overall total into 4 payments with the final payment being a minimum of a month before your wedding.
