Create your Dream Dress with Us

Looking for something you just cannot find? Then let us help you create your dream dress! Whatever you want, we want to help you achieve it!

You may like to purchase a base dress from our Treasure Trove and together we can explore ways in which it could be adapted into your perfect dress. Using my years of bridal expertise and creative imagination, I can show you how sleeves can be added or removed, necklines changed, and details altered or added to adapt your chosen dress into the look you have envisioned. This is a cost-effective way of creating a completely unique dress without the nasty price tag!

Alternatively, many of our Commissioned for You dresses by Louisa Jackson can be made in different colours and with changes to sleeves, skirt type, trains or little details to create a dress that is as unique and individual as you would like and unlike a completely bespoke dress, these new to order dresses still sit comfortably below £2,000.

Personalised Dresses from Maidens and Ravens in York

Having seen a dress I liked online in I decided to travel up from London. What a welcome i received from the lovely Elizabeth, she immediately put me at ease with her warm personality and professionalism. Whilst the original dress was not for me I soon found my perfect dress in her shop which is full of beautiful dresses. Elizabeth is everything you would want to find in a bridal retailer – she passionate about the bridal wear she sells without being pushy and has such good advice. She knew I had travelled from London and advised I might prefer someone closer to home to alter the dress but I wanted to keep the dress alterations in York and Elizabeth recommended a local business who were perfect. I cannot hank them enough. I have not only got my dream dress but I now have friends in York!

This was wedding dress shop number 7 for me! Elizabeth was very welcoming and had a collection of slightly alternative and unique dresses, along with the classic styles. Elizabeth has most of her dresses listed on Facebook and identifies when these have sold. This allowed me to look through the dress catalogue and pick out favourites knowing that they would be in store. I visited the shop by myself and Elizabeth made me feel special, built up my body confidence, but was also honest in her opinions. When I found a dress I liked, she helped me to video call my family and show off my chosen outfit. Great customer service. Value for money. Would recommend! Thank you.

I attended with my mum and from the moment we arrived Elizabeth was super welcoming and nothing felt like too much trouble. There were so many more beautiful dresses available to try on than expected and at no point did I feel rushed, overwhelmed or that my budget was under any pressure. Elizabeth is still in touch with me following the purchase with guidance on the next steps and I feel reassured that should I have any more questions she will be happy to help. Overall a really personable experience.

Found my wedding dress with the help of this lovely shop and the expert eye of Elizabeth. I was finding the whole experience of wedding dress shopping stressful and overwhelming, especially as I was on such a tight budget. Elizabeth was so kind, patient and knowledgeable. And the dress we found is just perfect, I absolutely loved wearing it last Saturday to get married! Thank you so much!
