The 'Redolent' concept:  
the idea of incorporating items of personal meaning -vintage or contemporary - into your dress

Wool and cashmere Elizabethan inspired winter wedding dress.

Detail with vintage lace and fabrics

    'Redolent', a parallel line to Atelier, uses both new and recycled or vintage fabric in its wedding and 'event' dresses, which are bespoke/custom- made /designed and made to measure, so that your design can be as adventurous or as classic as suits your imagination.

    •   In Redolent I design and make garments which incorporate significant or meaningful items from your life, past or present.  These could include pieces of fabric, clothing or jewellery, with a meaningful connection. For example:
a piece of lace from your mother's or grandma's wedding dress, or maybe a piece of ribbon that tied a bouquet of flowers from your man, some beads from a pearl necklace which belonged to your mum.  Embroidered text from love letters, emails, text messages, poems or song lyrics could be embedded in the design. 
Please contact me to see examples. 

    •    Every dress or outfit is pattern cut to your      measurements for a perfect fit.

    •    The making uses part recycled fabrics, plus new, top quality silks, wools or cottons.

    •    Fabric sourcing: if you have a particular type of fabric in mind, we can find it for you at the best possible price.
