The service offered is based on your own budget. Each dress is first made with a calico toile for a perfect fit, then the chosen fabric is cut and made. Your dream Wedding Dress is now a reality...

When Sallie Jayne Avis and her family moved to Ness, on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland she had a general idea of using her fashion and design skill to develop a small business.

Sallie decided to concentrate on making hats with Harris Tweed and providing an alteration service. By springtime 2005, business had taken a totally different turn as Wedding Dresses for brides, bridesmaids, and for mothers of brides and grooms became Sallie's main focus.

In 2004 Sallie did one wedding, in year 2005 there were 14 in the schedule, and almost a full order book for 2006. Previously Sallie studied fashion at Clarendon College, Nottingham, and worked for 10 years at a bridal company where she made dresses from start to finish. In 1996 Sallie completed a City & Guilds in lace-making, getting the bronze medal, and was the only person that year to achieve this standard.
