Your dress
The design process should be fun and exciting, it is not necessary to have a fully formed idea of what you like and I am happy to advise and hopefully inspire your choice.
I specialise in wedding dresses only, and unfortunately, can not offer a bridesmaids dressmaking service.
Making each dress myself ensures that you have a hand crafted dress, not even a hint of mass production This is of particular importance to me as I made a decision some time ago to keep the artistry in my work.

   

To keep the craft element rather
than expand into a larger scale operation. This does also mean however that I can only produce a limited amount of dresses, so early booking is recommended .Each dress is priced individually,most designs being somewhere between £1650-£2000. Once a commission has been confirmed I ask for a 50% deposit. I sketch a design and create a calico toile as a mock up for us to see before I cut into the silk.

"If you are contemplating having your special dress made by Dana Bolton, please do go ahead. Dana was so kind and really accommodating. I can thoroughly recommend Dana, she created the dress that I had in my mind and improved upon it. I was a challenging customer as i was based in the Netherlands and flew to every fitting with Dana, she was extremely flexible and allowed me to schedule flights close together and worked on my dress in-between. She made my dress beautifully and always gave excellent input and has a real passion for dress making. The fit and quality of my dress was superb, I was very much impressed by her professionalism, skill and creativity. The range and quality of the dresses she makes is superb. What is really special for me is being able to choose your fabrics, your lace and create a dress that starts from a paper sketch and then grows before your eyes. It truly is a magical experience. I acknowledge that It’s a big step deciding on a dress maker however I would say you are in very good hands with Dana. I was overjoyed with my dress and thoroughly enjoyed the special experience, i found it lovely being able to talk to my husband about the process of making my dress, what steps happened and the choices I was able to make along the way (whilst keeping the dress a surprise) I also used the opportunity to enjoy London with my mum and we still talk about the lovely time we had creating my lovely dress. Finally Dana helped me pack my dress ready for flying and waved off a very happy bride to be! Please do contact me if you would like further information, I am more that happy to recommend Dana and her wonderful work."
