A Phillipa Lepley gown is the epitome of elegant bespoke design. Combining refined grace, timeless beauty and perfect artistry, a Phillipa Lepley couture wedding dress seamlessly blends precision technical construction with impeccable styling. Enhancing the feminine form is at the heart of each couture gown.
Phillipa Lepley's bespoke, luxury dresses are world-renowned. Couture design consultations via phone or video call allow international clients to work with the British designer and her team, bringing their vision to life remotely before beginning the creation of their dress, through their own personally tailored route.
A bespoke Phillipa Lepley gown is a triumph of British design and craftsmanship. Attention to detail and perfectionism are paramount: using classic tailoring techniques, sophisticated in-house hand-embroidery and bold thread-work, every Phillipa Lepley wedding dress and evening gown is scrupulously crafted by hand.
Intricate floral appliqu, sophisticated beading and lace work of the very highest quality are created by hand in the Chelsea atelier, in designs and patterns entirely unique to Phillipa Lepley, and each client. Shimmering tulle twinkles with pearls, and beading cascades down like rain. Delicate, feminine flower petals are sewn by hand onto tulle, a highly skilled task.
Subtle, body-sculpting corsetry is an art form, and one that Phillipa Lepley and her talented team have perfected over three decades, resulting in the most flattering of silhouettes for every client. A custom-made corset is the foundation for every dress, meticulously tailored to each person's unique shape over the course of several fittings.

I first came across Phillipa Lepley when I started to look into the option of a custom made wedding dress, as I hadn’t been able to find anything that I liked. But because I had a maximum budget of £5000, I ended up visiting the store to try on sample dresses. The Head of Couture showed me a dress that she’d help to design, and had a sample of in stock. Despite the fact that this dress was £8000 (£3000 over my maximum budget), she suggested I try it on and I instantly fell in love. While wearing the dress the Head of Couture mentioned a number of times that she thought it made my body look

From my experience I would highly recommend Phillipa Lepley. They were very personable, professional and efficient, everything you would want when choosing your wedding dress. I had no set ideas of even the style of dress I would like. From the first visit they were so honest and very skilled with the advice and guidance to help suggest some initial designs. I, in fact, chose the first one they showed me in the end.
They were patient, nothing was ever too much trouble and that was in the middle of a pandemic!
The quality and precision of my dress was second to none. The corsetry was exquisite

Quite a bad experience. I booked a sample sale appointment and found my dress elsewhere so I decided to cancel in advance and they don’t even refund you the cancellation fee! They are money spinners and not at all customer friendly. It’s a horrible experience for a bride trying to look for her dress, all they care about is taking your money, they don’t care about you as a bride at all. Would not recommend to anyone.
