Judith made me a couture custom fit Italian silk wedding dress when I got married 3 years ago. At that time we were stunned by how perfectly the dress fitted (I couldn't believe I didn't need to wear shape wear or a bra with such figure hugging material!). Including the material from ditalia in Malvern, it came in under the price of the Suzanne Neville dress off the peg I had been looking at. Judith also made me a bridal bolero and my husband a matching tie, all perfect.

Now 3 years on I have come back to Judith with the ultimate challenge!! My sister, in the uk, had chosen some off the peg figure hugging silk dresses as bridesmaids dresses for her upcoming wedding, and the fit was terrible! Judith painstakingly reconstructed and subtly modified the dress over 3 visits, and it now fits me perfectly - exaggerating the good and not the bad, but still to the unknowing eye the same dress as the over bridesmaids. For this, the price was fair considering the amount of work and expertise needed to move invisible seams/ work with silk etc.

Very highly recommend!
