KATSUKO - Bespoke Designer

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating my beautiful wedding dress. Anyone can have plans and dreams but rely upon others to bring those dreams to life. You most certainly did that for me. You treated me with respect and dignity throughout the design/making process and the dress felt wonderful to wear. My fiance was in tears when he saw me walking down the aisle and our guests were stunned into silence. Even the Reverend said she was "quite jealous". Everyone I came into contact with on my wedding day said how beautiful my dress was. I will be forever grateful to you Katsuko. We are amazed at the exquisite workmanship you have done to create my dream. Thank you again.Moreexpand_more

Katsuko realised a dream for me, by re-making my mother's wedding dress for me. She was patient and made the entire process a wonderful experience that added to the occasion. She carefully adapted the 1960's silk dress to suit me, added beautiful lacework on the neckline and created a gorgeous organza and lace trim 3/4 sleeve bolero to match, along with a cathedral veil which I fell in love with. Family and friends complimented the craftsmanship and attention to detail, my mother was especially pleased at the results. Highly recommend Katsuko for all dressmaking needs.

Katsuko has made a few evening dresses for me, which I’ve worn at some parties and my friends’ weddings. She was always accommodating my requests but also provided her thoughts which were very helpful, and made the dresses the way I wanted. She was also always making me feel comfortable when I was with her in her studio and it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience getting the dresses made by her.
