As a professional bespoke wedding dressmaker I mostly make unique, couture wedding dresses for brides who visit my studio in Surrey, UK. But I also indulge myself making flights of fancy dresses for styled photoshoots. I love the dresses I make like they are my babies but like children you have to set them free so I list them on Etsy at discounted prices to help them find their ‘wear me out' owner. Affordable couture, which one calls to you?

Here on Offbeat Bride, I'm best known for the exquisite, one of a kind wedding dress I made by as a tribute to Sarah's beautiful ball dress in the fantasy film “Labyrinth.” It is not a copy of the dress from the film but a modern interpretation that perfectly captures the original's dreamy beauty while being completely on-trend, so if someone is not a fan of the 1980's film… they'll still love this dress!

I make many other kinds of gowns though, and also sell other things… over the years I have hoarded vintage wedding dresses and accessories, tiaras, jewellery, fabrics, trims and embellishments. Silk, lace, satin and vintage prints by the metre or as bags of scraps for crafty fun. ‘Toiles', calico practice runs of real wedding dresses ripe for use as art projects or as dress patterns for your own creations. If it's time to make some space lucky Etsy buyers get to rummage through my boxes and drawers to find pretty bargains.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

My prices are bargain-basement low to help me make space in my workroom. I am happy to take commissions for new, custom items but the prices will reflect that they are being created specially from scratch, not as a sale item like these listed in my shop.

"The dress is breathtakingly beautiful and wonderfully made. I can’t even begin to explain the emotions I felt when I received my dress. Felicity was amazing to work with and it’s all thanks to her I will now be able to walk down the aisle in the dress of my dreams." -Chelsea

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
