What Our Clients Say

“Absolutely Incredible”

Sarah was my dressmaker, and oh my goodness she was absolutely incredible right from the start! She took my vague summaries about what I liked, created some Pinterest style boards, and then some gorgeous design options. And then the real thing! It was absolutely everything I wanted and more. The whole process was amazing from start to finish, she made me feel like anything was possible and was just so incredibly lovely throughout. I cannot recommend her enough, she made a big part of my wedding being so incredibly perfect because I loved my dress(es) so much! 10 stars!

“Words can't even describe”

Words can't even describe how amazing and talented Sarah and Annabel are!! They were an absolute dream to work with.
They altered my dress to perfection and made me my dream veil. Will be forever grateful xx

“Cannot speak more highly”

Cannot speak more highly of Sarah. She altered my dress beautifully, particularly to allow for a growing baby bump! She made everything so easy and straightforward, an easy recommendation!

What is a bespoke wedding dress?

Why choose a bespoke wedding dress?

Unlike off-the-rack options, a bespoke dress is tailored to your exact measurements and preferences, resulting in a garment that is both beautiful and comfortable. Alterations and fittings are all part of the process and price at Sarah Stoute Bespoke. This dress is completely unique and will not be replicated.
