Gypsy Rose Upstyling

Gypsy Rose Upstyling

Designing and making things has always been my way of recreating a world full of and magic and excitement, an escape from the norm. Our streets are now laden with commercial superstores with very plain and unimaginative designs, produced in mass.  When I graduated with a degree in Costume design and Interpretation, I began to design fascinators and accessories combining fabrics old and new, designing something which is unique and special, one off pieces which no one else will have.

  

Gypsy Rose Upstyling was created in 2011 and this year I have added a new line of alternative bridal wear and accessories.  I feel my collection brings something new to the bridal industry, injecting some colour and character into each individual design.  Invoking romance and the elegance of the past, but with a bohemian twist.

  

All Bridal dresses are made to measure and can be matched with any accessories including bridal belts and shrugs.  I offer a ‘Travelling Dress’ service where you can try on my new collection in the comfort of your own home, free to brides who live in Dorset.

Calm Amongst The Chaos

We are delighted to announce that Calm Amongst The Chaos will be exhibiting at The Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair on October 16th with their stunning selection of made to measure, vintage inspired, bridal gowns.

Calm Amongst The Chaos owner and designer, Frances Farmer tells us more about her company

"Calm Amongst The Chaos by Frances Farmer is a Bridal Design Business based in Hampshire. We specialise in Vintage Style Bridal wear and Occasion wear. Every year we create and make a deliciously flirty collection of gowns all inspired by the 1920’s,1930’s,1940’s and 1950’s 

and all the glamour from those days." 

"All the gowns are named after movie stars which is where inspiration for each gown comes from.If there is something special you have in mind we also design and make to order so you can have the dress of your dreams." 

"Most gowns are made in 100% silk and embellished with crystals, pearls and beautiful glass beads. We  use feathers and faux fur to give the finishing touch and create that real vintage look. We also make all the accessories such as veils, bags, head dresses and fascinators, as well as bridesmaids dresses and page boys outfits."

"Each project is carefully thought through with ideas from the bride taken into consideration. Brooches, old lace or any keepsake can be an integral part of the dress or used as a theme throughout."
