Uniquely yours

Created for you

Not everyone finds The One on the rail — and that’s rather the point of this. Two ways to make a Maidens & Ravens dress properly yours, both a fraction of true bespoke, and both comfortably below £2,000.

route one

Customise a dress you've found

Using years of bridal experience and a fairly vivid imagination, I can show you how a dress you already love can be reworked into the one you’ve pictured. Sleeves added or taken away. A neckline reshaped. Details removed, or added, or reinvented entirely. It’s a cost-effective way to end up with something genuinely one-of-a-kind — without the eye-watering bespoke price tag.

route two

Commissioned for You

If you’d rather start fresh, our Commissioned for You collection is made to order, by hand, especially for you. I work with only a small number of designers — makers such as Louisa Jackson — who share my values. They don’t mass-produce; they simply make each dress to a bride’s requirements. That’s what lets me offer dresses in any size, without restriction, and to change colours, sleeves, skirt shapes, trains and little details until the dress is unmistakably yours. These gowns take around four months to make, so I’d suggest coming in at least eight months before your wedding for the full range of options.

Made for Maidens

Straight out of a fairytale — ethereal, floral, sparkling and romantic. Medieval queens and faerie-core forests, ballgowns and soft enchantment.

Made for Ravens

The dark side — gothic, witchy, dramatic and mysterious. Deep colours and black lace, corsetry and cathedral trains, for brides who want a little shadow with their romance.
