I’m open for wedding dress commissions throughout the year and love to work towards a dress for such a special day. Options can vary, from choosing an existing dress, customising Phaedra patterns, or working on something completely new together. Here are some lovely testimonials from brides over the past few years. Please get in touch with me at deva@phaedraclothing.co.uk if you’d like to talk more.

“I've got a number of treasured Phaedra pieces in my wardrobe, so I immediately thought of Deva when I was really struggling with finding a wedding dress within the bridal industrial complex - it's a nightmare out there! In my dress consumption funnel I ordered some pieces from different ready to wear shops but the quality was often poor. I knew the kinds of shapes I like from Phaedra, and Deva worked with me to figure out what fabrics we could use, and what designs could work with them. The end result was a stunning two piece in a Japanese weighted cotton. I was so thrilled with the dress and felt amazing in it on the day.”

“I couldn't recommended Deva highly enough and I’m so glad I chose Phaedra Clothing for my wedding dress. Deva was really good at ensuring I felt involved with the process and kept me updated with discussions about the materials and progress of my dress being made. The dress itself is really special, it is both simple and elegant and beautifully made. It fits perfectly to my measurements and is really comfortable too, the moment I put it on I didn't want to take it off! It is also important to me that such dress I'll wear on a significant day for me was made by a small, independent and sustainable business. Throughout the making process, Deva never made me feel like one of many, and that has helped it to feel all the more bespoke and individual”

“It was an absolute dream working with Deva to create my bespoke wedding dress. The process for sizing and deciding on the final design was really great and collaborative and she even agreed to make me a trial version which I have now hand dyed to have another dress for the future. Thankyou so much for Deva for creating my floaty linen wedding dress of dreams! Incredibly special to have a one-off piece at an affordable price point too.”
