“From the moment of walking into the Andrea Hawkes Clerkenwell studio we felt calm and relaxed. With only 3 months to go till the wedding and no dress, I had experienced a lot of crazy looks and shocked faces in other studios, this was not the case at Andreas. Naturally I was attracted to Andrea’s work, I was looking for something with less structure, more flexibility. As a dance artist being able to dance freely in the dress was a must. The difference at Andrea’s was an actual conversation about this, how I wanted to feel, how I wanted the dress to fit. After trying a number of designs we started piecing together parts from different dresses. At this point Andrea herself came and joined the discussion, noticing what made me feel more/less comfortable. After a second visit and 2 and a half months to go, there was still complete flexibility for edits I wanted to make. I was thrilled to have found my dress! As for the fittings and discussions with the team, they were always so helpful and informative. Finally on the day itself I have never worn anything more comfortable and so suited to my style. It felt wonderful to wear and great to party in!”
