Bridal & Suit Tailoring

BRIDES

From Boho bridal to Parisian elegance, we can work together to design and make the wedding dress or wedding outfit of your dreams! Whether it's silk, bias cut, lace, a matching two-piece or a fitted trouser suit, we'll make it for you with the utmost care and attention to detail.

We have a special bridal package that includes the dress (or outfit), handmade bespoke accessories to match and bridal underwear too - just ask if you're interested and we can tell you more.

GROOMS

It's not all about the Brides - we work with Grooms too! Amongst many other skills, Elena has a background in tailoring and can make you the most exquisite suit.

"The dress itself is superb - iridescent organza stitched with Vietnamese silk.I started with a dress I already own and like a lot. It’s shimmery and purple and cut on the bias. I wanted a dress like that but in opalescent white. This is actually a lot, lot harder than I had imagined but Lou and Elena made it happen. 

Then there’s the bolero. The aqua inside layer was a piece of fabric cut from the lining of a dress one of my best women had ordered but didn’t fit. At my hen do we were mucking about with organza and realised it looked amazing with this fabric. I took it back to Lou and Elena and they made something wonderful. It was certainly a full service.

They made a gorgeous waistcoat for Ronan, including finding the blue/green silk fabric and the Merchhant & Milks pattern. They adjusted my dad’s suit to fit him better and created a little pocket-square to match the waistcoat.This has felt like a support process much more than a purchase.

HSS take the time to talk through it all. They listened to what I wanted even when I didn’t really know if it was possible. We just kept talking and looking, getting better at search terms. We ordered some samples and I carried around the swatches of silk and organza for a while.  It was hard to picture but Elena is so skilled she created my vision. And they were so lovely I invited them as guests and they came early to ‘dress’ me, including dealing with a last minute bra strap emergency!At my final fitting a few days before the event I suddenly felt really strongly that I wanted to have a bag.

We dropped off a piece of organza (I’d over-ordered 20 yards of it to decorate) and on the day they brought a perfect bag - simple and lovely and useful." J & R Steele

WEDDING ADJUSTMENTS
