The Experience
By working on a private appointment basis, Hannah gives you 100% of her care and attention. The aim is for you and your party to experience a professional, creative and personal service that you so deserve!
Dependant on the nature of the garment, the process typically requires 3 - 4 fittings to ensure we achieve the look exactly as you dreamt with an impeccable fit. However in some circumstances additional fittings may be needed. Those looking for bridal gowns should allow 6-9 months for the process to be complete. (You can't rush perfection!)
In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere you can browse through and try on anything from the latest Hannah Charlotte Collection to get a better understanding of what you are looking for. There will be an opportunity to look through the extensive range of fabric and lace catalogues we have in our showroom to pick fabrics that best suite the look you are wanting to create.
Hannah will advise you on the most suitable if you have a particular look in mind. We are always respectful of your budget and will work with you to create your dream look with this in mind.
We have a range of hand made accessories available or can design bespoke pieces to compliment garments such as head pieces, hair clips, pins, belts and sashes etc. You can select pieces from our display case or have something custom made completely bespoke to you.
If by the end of the appointment you are happy with the design we have created, specific body measurements will be taken and over the following weeks Hannah will draw up your pattern and make your design using toiling fabrics (less expensive fabric for sampling). In your second appointment the toile garment will be fitted to your body and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure the perfect fit. At this stage you will be able to make any design changes and only when you are 100% satisfied will Hannah begin creating the design in your final chosen fabrics.
We will then require several follow up fittings until your bespoke dress or garments are complete.
BRIDES please allow at least 6 - 9 months prior to your event for this design process to be completed, however if this isn't possible and you need a faster service we will always try our best to work with you and your time frames.
OCCASION WEAR please allow at least 3 - 5 months prior to your event for this design process to be completed, however if this isn't possible and you need a faster service we will always try our best to work with you and your time frames.
Hannah will work with you through every stage and will recommend and advise you on silhouettes, materials, embellishments and custom made accessories to make you shine on your day.
