MY SKILLS
I was trained in the art of bespoke tailoring over 40 years ago at the prestigious London College of Fashion and I have worked alongside world reknown fashion and bridal designers throughout my career. I am both curious and creatively passionate about using my talent to help women look polished and confident on their big day. Whether we are reimagining a heirloom family possession, customising a ready-made dress or starting from scratch, I want my brides to feel valued and responsible consumers who grasp the opportunity to create their own lasting memories as we journey together from start to finish.
I LOVE WORKING WITH BRIDES WHO..
value the opportunity to have exactly what they want. Most newly engaged brides experience anxiety and overwhelm by the wedding dress shopping process; it escapes them to explore alternative routes such as creating a bespoke gown with its own unique story from begining to end. I embrace wholeheartedly the bride who hungers for something different with that connects with her personal goals and dreams.
I love brides who appreciate and recognise the dedication and lifelong accumulated skills required to achieve exclusivity and excellence in design. Brides who recognise and trust the process and integrity of traditional bridal tailoring to deliver elegant meticulously handcrafted bridal gowns every time.

~ KIND WORDS ~
“Cynthia is a genius and incredibly good fun to work with, which was a huge bonus for me. I’m not easy to please and had some very specific ideas which I couldn’t necessarily communicate that well. Cynthia was patient, knew the questions to ask, invested a huge amount of time and created the bridal gown of my dreams. I would recommend her to every bride! What a gem to find…. She has worked with all the top design houses and it shows. One hugely talented lady”.
