Caroline Arthur Bridal Design & Dressmaking

Caroline was wonderful! She’s quick to respond to emails which prevents bridal panic attacks. From the first meeting, she was warm and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable every fitting. She did a marvellous job on my dress and everything fitted perfectly. Everyone loved my wedding dress!

Caroline was wonderful! She was very careful adjusting my dress and didn't rush anything to make sure it was the perfect length and fit. It wasn't easy material to work with but she's clearly very skilled and I was so happy with how my dress turned out. She also made me a beautiful bow for my hair out of the off cuts which was exactly the vision I had in mind. See photos of the bow attached :) I'd highly recommend her and I felt confident and taken care of throughout the whole process. Thank you so much Caroline!

It was such a pleasure meeting Caroline, she makes you feel at ease and her studio is so beautiful. I had my straps taken up plus some framilastic added, by Caroline's advice, to help it sit perfectly. Plus some adjustments to the armholes, and added a split, which meant carefully removing and reapplying the appliqué. My dress felt so comfortable and well-fitted, and I got so many compliments. I would definitely recommend Caroline, especially after recently hearing some horror stories with dress fittings, I'm so glad I went to her.

Where do I even begin? I bought my dresses online as going into a store just wasn't very me! I needed some alterations done and came across Caroline!

Well, what an absolute angel! I was SO nervous about having my dresses altered as I am very OCD. Caroline got what I wanted from the get go and I honestly I couldn't of asked for a more beautiful experience with two STUNNING dresses at the end of it.

Caroline is such a lovely person, with a beautiful studio! ( in my opinion, much nicer experience than going into an overwhelming shop! ) I love every minute of it!

Thank you Caroline! xxx

Caroline was so lovely to work with. She was so understanding when I wanted to change something at the last minute and made me feel so at ease at each fitting. Her finish was immaculate and it meant I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day. Caroline also had some really lovely ideas of how to improve a second hand cardi I got and made it into something that was so special and worked perfectly with my dress. Thank you Caroline xx

Working with Caroline to create my fabulous wedding dress was an absolute joy. She is is an incredibly talented and creative designer and dress maker but also just completely lovely! In a few short moments in her studio (which was an oasis of happiness during lockdown!) she magically translated all the ideas in my head into a beautiful drawing and then made it come to life. Nothing was too much trouble and she is endlessly patient and will 'tweak' until you are totally content (which you will be!!). Also a total font of wedding knowledge and top tips. Many thanks Caroline, I love my dress beyond words, it is everything I wanted and so much more.

Being new to the whole experience of a wedding and having a dress altered, I was so nervous that my dress wouldn’t fit, or perhaps it didn’t look as great as I remembered when I bought it months before. Caroline was lovely and absolutely amazing, taking my worries away and helping me feel incredible in my dress. She made me feel so welcome and was excited to see the dress and cape, which made me feel excited too! The alterations made to my dress and cape let me wander around freely on the most incredible day of my life (without tripping up!), feel gorgeous in my dress, and Caroline provided me with the certainty that on my wedding day my dress will fit me, it will look beautiful on me and forever be the dress altered just for me! A wonderful experience! Thank you so much Caroline! Xx

Caroline is AMAZING. From the minute I enquired about an appointment to meeting Caroline in her beautiful boutique I felt at ease. Bring 4 months postpartum my confidence was pretty low and I didn’t think I would be happy with how I looked in my dress at all. Caroline really made me feel amazing, she altered my original dress and made the most stunning over skirt, essentially giving me two dresses in one which is exactly what I had dreamed of. She made me feel relaxed and beautiful more and more at each appointment and I honestly cannot thank her enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and understood exactly what I wanted. I am forever grateful and wish I could re do the experience all over again! :)
