About Anne Blanchard Bridalwear

Your handmade wedding dress is based on your own ideas and designed exactly how you desire for your big day. Every detail is made to measure and handcrafted to make for a seamless fit. All parts of your wedding dress experience with me is personalised, unique to you and all based right here at my studio in Chislehurst, Kent. You will be able to select from luxurious options of laces and silks to create your dream wedding dress. Alterations and restlye of wedding dresses offered too.

Anne works with you and your ideas to create a unique wedding dress of your dreams, meticulously crafted using couture techniques for the perfect fit.

"I am lucky to have a job that I enjoy and am very inspired by each and every dress that I make from the more traditional to the very unusual. We can work together to design your dream dress, look through some beautiful fabric samples and embellishments, discuss colour, theme, shape and design, working to a budget that you are happy with, creating a unique, beautifully fitted dress for your special day. With a BA in Costume Interpretation and over 25 years’ experience in creating historical and modern dress for theatre, film and clientele it still gives me immense joy in creating that very special outfit."

A new pattern is made for each client; a toile (mock-up of the dress) is made giving you the chance to picture what has been discussed so far and a chance to view the fit and design of the dress before cutting into the final fabric. A further two or three fittings will be needed once the dress has been constructed, to perfect the fit and refine the detail.

Alterations of wedding dresses and garments are also undertaking, along with bridal and bridal attendee alterations and repairs. I am happy to steam a dress if required.

We ensure an impeccable fit for every gown. With meticulous attention to detail, we perform intricate alterations to create a bespoke fit that exudes confidence and sophistication.

Our Sustainability Commitments

Most brides will keep their dresses or hand them down to family or friends, some brides will sell their dresses on. I offer restyles and alterations to new and second hand dresses, brides often bring me their mothers dresses to either alter to fit, restyle or use fabrics from the dress. All my off cuts of fabrics are passed onto sewing groups or other businesses that use smaller pieces of fabric. Fabric is sourced from the UK and choices of fabrics are offered to brides. Off cuts of fabrics are also stored for use on alterations.
