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. 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. Price is depending on style, fabric, the level of  customisation, and 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/video 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. If you are thinking of supplying your own fabric please let me know and ideally with the material it is made from as I only work with fabrics made from natural fibers. 

                        

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 aim to get your dress to you 2 months ahead of your wedding date.

I am occasionally able to rush a wedding dress order (under 2 months) for an additional fee.

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.

Please do not use AI to alter photos of me, my dresses or any of the images on my website. I understand the want to show exactly what you want for your dress but I would rather see a sketch you've drawn yourself!

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.
