FRL Bridal

This is the dream work - creating magical pieces for people who will remember what they wore on that day for years to come. 

Here's a little about the process and how I work:

Getting Started

  1. Pick a Current Style with no or Small Customisations

You choose any style I already offer with minor customisations and tweaks. There would be no sample made with this option. Small customisations would include: Price depending on style, fabric and customisations chosen. Price depending on style, fabric and customisations chosen but a rough estimate would be around £500-£1500. 

  1. Pick a Current Style with Larger Customisations

This option would include a sample dress as the alterations would be more significant before I would make the final dress. Large customisations would include: Price depending on style, fabric and customisations plus the cost of sample dress. Price depending on style, fabric and customisations but a rough estimate for this would be between £1000-£2500.

Fittings

Ideally, because I am making your dress to your exact measurements, you would come to the studio in Brighton for in person fittings. That way I can see what adjustments or changes that I might need to make so that you are happy with your dress and it fits you perfectly.

Alternatively, if getting to the studio isn’t an option, we can have a phone call or email exchange. I have worked with a lot of brides overseas and am confident that we can work together.

What to bring to your in person fitting:

  • Comfortable clothes that you can easily change in and out of.

  • The shoes you will be wearing for your wedding (or a similar height of shoe).

  • As my studio is on the smaller side, I ask that you don’t bring anyone with you to your fitting. This is so I can focus on you and making sure I am respecting our time together with my full attention.

  • Any questions you might have for me!

Fabrics

Just as important as figuring out what style you want for your dress, it’s choosing the fabric! I have built up a collection of excellent suppliers and fabrics that I love to work with; my current favourites are Hemp Silk, Indian Silk Dupion, White Seersucker and the perfect White Linen. I have also used fabrics customers have brought to me as well as specially sourcing fabrics. We can work together to select the one that will be the right fit for you and your dress.

                        

Ready to Order?

Just like all of the pieces I make, your dress is made to order and that takes time. It takes even more time depending on the style/customisations/fabric choice so with that in mind it's a good idea to budget at least 5 months ahead of your wedding so we have time to make sure your dress is made, altered and sent to you in plenty of time.

I am occasionally able to rush a wedding dress order at an additional charge.

When you are ready you can either fill out the contact form or you can send me an email at: studio@faithrowanleeves.com. This is the time to send me any thoughts, inspo pics, Pinterest boards etc.

I’m here for all your ideas big and small and even if it’s not for a wedding I can help source customs fabrics and make bespoke pieces for you.
