Fiona's thorough knowledge and study of historical costume (she has lectured for, and currently sits on the committee of the The Northern Society of Costume and Textiles) enables her to design forward thinking, elegantly cut gowns for all tastes - whether your preference is for sophisticated, adventurous or classically romantic styles, she will create your ideal. Upon approcal of the design, a pattern is specially drafted and from it a succession of three calico toiles are produced. These enable the bride to see the progression of her gown, incorporating any alternative detailing for discussion and approval. The flexibility of the toiling process achieves a flattering fit for all figure types, eliminationg the need for alterning in the chosen silks. This ensures an impeccable Couture finish and a beautifully sculptural line.
