Private fitting studio in Somerset, UK.
Your wedding gown is one of life’s most treasured pieces — it should fit flawlessly and feel unmistakably you. At Suzie Marie, expert craftsmanship and a refined eye ensure your gown becomes a perfect reflection of your style and silhouette.
From essential adjustments to complete transformations, every service is tailored to your dress. Bodices, waists, hips, hems, and trains are shaped with precision, with every refinement carefully considered.
For brides seeking something unique, I offer creative restyling, adding sleeves or straps, bespoke necklines, adjusting skirt volume, creating statement bows or corset backs, or reimagining an entire gown.
Every gown is crafted and tailored with meticulous care, whether new, vintage, off-the-peg, or a treasured family piece. I also offer thoughtful heirloom restyling, preserving original details while shaping the gown into something beautifully wearable for today.
A family gown can begin a new chapter as a rehearsal look, a refined reception dress, a second look for dancing, or a modern silhouette created from meaningful fabrics. Heirloom restyling offers a quiet, personal way to honour the past while creating something beautifully yours.

Ways to Wear a Treasured or Vintage Gown
For brides wishing to explore the full potential of their gown, I offer complimentary pre-fitting consultations during the quieter months, from October to February. These private appointments provide the perfect moment to discuss bespoke changes or enhancements and receive a clear guide to your investment before any fittings begin.
Outside of these months, I can review images of your gown and provide a tailored cost guide remotely, ensuring your journey remains seamless.
Every gown is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, and fittings are used to perfect the fit and final details. By focusing exclusively on bridal gowns, I am able to dedicate my expertise entirely to creating a flawless, one-of-a-kind dress for your most unforgettable day.
Exclusive Pre-Fitting Consultations
Every wedding gown tells a story, and my role is to ensure it fits yours flawlessly.

For this reason, I provide a personalised quote once I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you in your gown.
