"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me" - C. S. Lewis
I am often surrounded by creative chaos, lots of tea, and will happily chat about your wedding for the next 3 hours! At home, I'm a mum to one wonderful boy and I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love for my job and have flexible working for my son as he grown (very quickly!) In the evenings, I like to keep life quiet with spinning yarn or knitting... often with more tea... occasionally cake...

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Allana Vincent
I am the manager, sewer & cleaner of 'Allana Costume Maker & Seamstress'. It's just me squirrelling away at my sewing studio, doing what I love most & working flexibly for my family. I studied costume at University & college then toured with 'The Phantom of the Opera' before settling down as a costume maker. After years of making for theatre & films, I opened a studio to creating something utterly unique & bespoke inspired by history or magic for couples who are looking for something different.

The quality and finish was amazing
Where to start with this wonderful women - leeds very own Vivienne Westwood! Allana designed and custom made my wedding dress and matching mini flower girl dress for my daughter, from start to finish this was the best experience and the most enjoyable I think I have ever had! Some say people thought I was mad to design and have a dress made having never tried a single wedding dress on but Allana completely got my vision and took any bit of stress out of the process with her quick decisions she..

The dress was fabulous
The dress was fabulous. Everyone commented how beautiful and unusual it was. Thanks to Allana for her professionalism and amazing skills which let my daughter be the Disney Princess she's always wanted to be. It was a fantastic experience from concept to completion of the dress.

I felt incredible the dress was such a showstopper
When I envisioned my wedding dress, I had one big dream: a design that was bold, unique, and truly *me.* I wanted a rainbow princess look in the front, with all the rainbow vibrant colors flowing beautifully, and a gothic princess vibe in the back, featuring the black satin and the glittering detail. It was an ambitious idea, no doubt, but from the moment I met Allana, I knew she was the person that could make it all happen. From our very first correspondence she showed so much excitement...

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

How long does it take you to make a wedding outfit?

That would depend on the outfit! All projects I take on have to be slotted into my diary and if it's a busy period with multiple projects, then it could be much longer. I normally ask for at least 6 months notice for a wedding outfit but if you're in a hurry, send me a message in case I can squeeze it in!

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

Yes! I make garments for bodies, whatever shape, gender or feature that body has and my priority is always to make that individual feel comfortable and safe. As I create everything within the realms of corsets, dresses & tailoring, I don't categorise my work as being 'gender specific' & will be just as happy to make a suit or a corset regardless of the gender. If you have any questions or enquires about how I can help accommodate your needs, please do get in touch. I mostly work alone so my studio is a quiet safe place where you can always ask anything if you have any nerves or concerns.



Do I need to pay for a consultation?

Absolutely not! Consultations are always free and no-obligation. This gives us the chance to talk about your ideas, look at fabric samples and take measurements. At this stage it's also a good idea to discuss your budget so I can accommodate it as much as possible. I can then take all our discussions away to create an accurate quote and design (if needed) before you decide whether to go ahead ordering your outfit or not. No-one likes a pushy sales pitch and I never send 'chase up' emails afterwards. I'm here if you want me but perfectly happy if my work isn't for you either.
