Beautiful, handcrafted wedding dress

5
Amanda created the most beautiful wedding dress for me from scratch. It was like she plucked my dream dress out of my head and made it before my eyes! She was so knowledgeable, incredibly skilled and anyone who wants a handcrafted dress - or even just alterations! - should look no further than Peacocks and Penguins. All anyone could say to me on my wedding day was how stunning my dress was - all thanks to Manda!

Outstanding talent.

5
Amanda is a very talented dressmaker with a great eye for detail. I collected my dress today and it is beautifully made.
The dress in question is a designer vintage dress which I took to Amanda in the hope that she might possibly remodel it. Mission accomplished as I collected an exquisite custom made cocktail dress which fits me perfectly with every detail looking perfect. This was a complete remake of a size 20 dress styled perfectly to my figure and design even hand sewn in parts to cater for the age and texture of this delicate brocade.
I will be wearing this to several dos over the next few months and am delighted to have a piece of fashion history with me thanks to Amanda.

Amanda is lovely and very welcoming. She took on our job of shortening two sets of curtains and produced an excellent job. They look fab. Thanks Amanda. We’ll be sure to sing your praises and make sure everyone knows how good you are and where you are x

What a find!

5
As mother of the bride and exceptionally tall, I was doubtful of finding a suitable “off the peg” dress that fitted me properly. I decided to have something made and feel so fortunate to have found Amanda at Peacocks and Penguins! The gown I’ve collected today is even better than I hoped. Amanda is not only an accomplished seamstress, but a perfectionist with vision, tweaking things as we went along, and even making me a lovely matching hair accessory when she knew I was struggling to find one! The service has also been very affordable, and the dress completed in the timeframe quoted at the start. I’m totally thrilled and am sure my daughter will be too, on the day. Thank you Manda, you made the process very easy - I’m one very happy customer, and I’ll be back.
