Veronica collection
Emphasis on bias cut and fluid silk drape, inspired by the glamour of 1930s Hollywood.
Stevie Collection
Antique lace and free-spirited, these gowns are as exquisite as heirlooms, with a nod to 1970s rock divas.
Upcycle your dress
Let's be honest, buying a brand-new wedding dress and wearing it once in a lifetime won't be the most sustainable clothing choice you've ever made.
After your big day, at SBS we can help you extend the life of your wedding dress.
Prices start at £150 for a shortened hem, and £400 for a corset made from your dress.
Call Lucy on 07947 452826 to chat through options.
Bride to wedding guest
Shortening your dress to become mini or tea length works well for satin, organza, lace or chiffon.
We can also dye the dress to your shade of choice (depending on fabric).
Pastel shades mean you can continue to wear your dress for years to come, reliving beautiful memories of your Big Day.

Having Lucy make my wedding dress was a wonderful experience. I already loved the dresses shown in the shop but Lucy adapted an existing design to better suit what I wanted. She made the whole process enjoyable and easy and the finished dress is just beautiful, I cannot wait to wear it. To have someone skilfully design and create you such a lovely dress is an amazing experience and worth every penny.

Thank you to Lucy I had a disaster with the original top for my wedding dress, and Lucy, with the adversity of the Christmas holidays in her way, managed to get this beautiful top on time to me, and it recieved many compliments. Beautiful craftsmanship, but also (and it can be rare on the internet), great customer care. Thank you!

This dress was absolutely perfect for my wedding. I was hesitant to order online but Lucy was very thorough and communicated with me every step of the way. Thanks to Lucy I walked down the aisle in my dream wedding dress. I received so many compliments on my dress also! Highly recommended!

I am so excited to wear my dress for my wedding day! Lucy was wonderful to work with, checking in to be sure I got exactly what I wanted. I didn't want a long dress and she made one special for me that is stunning. My dress was shipped with a great garment bag, and beautiful hanger, and a personal note from Lucy with her telephone number in case I had any troubles. I highly recommend!
