Elizabeth Bessant London Full Description
Talented designer Elizabeth Bessant creates original outfits as individual as each client. She moved into couture 20 years ago following a successful art career exhibiting at the Royal Academy and showcasing her work around the world. Her instinctive eye for colour and detail – plus her insistence on perfection - has led to a loyal following of celebrity and society clients. Elizabeth is involved in the couture design process from initial consultation to collection and will attend all your fittings. Each exquisite outfit - whether a wedding dress, mother of bride outfit, business suit or accessory - is designed and made in her London studio by her team of skilled crafts people. Elizabeth offers a free no obligation consultation to get to know you and your event and guide you through the process of getting the perfect look. There are samples to try on and fabrics to look at and if nothing catches your eye Elizabeth will source fabric specially for you. Each client has a personal pattern made to her measurements and a toile fitting (practice outfit in calico) at this fitting the garment can be altered and fine tuned before being cut in the actual fabric. Two to three further fittings will be required and more for complicated designs and wedding gowns. All garments are hand finished and hand beading is Elizabeth's speciality. Family and friends are welcome to attend consultations and fittings and will be looked after with drinks.

it was a lovely experience
I first met Elizabeth in November 2016, I was recommended by a friend who had an outfit made for her daughters wedding. I was going to see Elizabeth about having a dress made for my step daughters wedding. I was concerned about getting the right outfit not wanting to have anything like the mother of the bride! At my first visit with Elizabeth I was a bit nervous as I had never had an outfit made before, but straight away I was made very welcome with a cup of tea and a chat. Elizabeth completely understood my situation and came up with a suggestion of a floaty dress which would work well as the wedding was in our garden. From then on it was a lovely experience; Elizabeth was very patient with me especially with choosing the fabric as I must have driven her mad but nothing was to much trouble. Elizabeth drew an amazing sketch of the dress so I could see what it would look like in the fabric. I enjoyed the whole experience, every meeting for the fitting with a cup of tea and a chat of course! The dress was perfect, the fabric was gorgeous. I loved wearing the dress and felt very comfortable. I have gone on to have another dress made for more of an every day occasion, and I am looking forward to having another outfit made next year for my step son’s wedding. I would highly recommend Elizabeth without any hesitation. She is incredibly talented and a lovely person to get to know, my one warning is her outfits are addictive!

You understood exactly what I wanted
Thank you for the beautiful outfit you created for my daughter’s wedding. I had so many compliments. The best part was not having to worry about the dress all day as it fitted and moved perfectly. You understood exactly what I wanted and I loved the finished look. Thank you again, Karen
