GET INVOLVED

In this episode, we respond to a bride who has already bought a dress from another boutique. Unfortunately upon collection of the dress, she found out it had been ordered in a standard size based on her largest measurement, making it far too big everywhere else. The bride now has the challenge of finding an alterations specialist or seamstress who can make this dress fit.

Emma gives her advice for this bride, as well as offering tips and advice for brides who are just starting dress shopping, so that they know what to ask for and what to look for before choosing a bridal boutique and committing to a dress.

Leah and Emma also discuss their upcoming shoots for Nortier, sharing the challenges of creating interesting, effective Lookbook photography alongside fun and eye-catching, creative editorial imagery.
