When my wedding dress arrived in the shop it was two sizes too big for me and needed a lot of altering. Because of the intricate design in beaded embroidery on parts of the dress I was so afraid that there could be nothing done with it. After researching dressmakers in my area I finally found Aideen and she instantly put my mind at ease. It was clear that she was more professional than most and knew exactly what she had to do with every area of the dress that needed altering. She even was able to take bits of the beaded embroidery from certain areas and add it to other areas to make my dress more flattering. Her competence gave me a peace of mind that was invaluable and my dress turned out absolutely perfect. Aideen even designed and made the perfect veil to match my dress and provided sound advice on materials and designs. She even coached me on how to walk in my dress and round corners with my veil which also proved to be invaluable:)

Massive thanks to Aideen Cross who we booked to custom make my mums outfit for my wedding and alter all the dresses. Aideen was a pleasure to deal with, no job was too big or small. She helped with choosing a colour and fabrics to suit my mum and sketched up a beautiful design. My mum and I returned a few times for fittings and for Aideen to ensure the dress and jacket fitted my mum perfectly. Aideen advised on a headpiece to compliment her design and was truly a professional. Aideen was so accommodating with appointment times for the bridesmaids fittings to suit our busy schedules and altered the dresses perfectly! Aideen did an excellent job on my own gown, nipping and tucking and adding fabric where needed! I would highly recommended Aideen Cross! Thanks so much Aideen, from Rachel & Andrew (& Mary!)

I had the pleasure of working with Aideen for my wedding in 2012. I arrived to Aideen with an idea for a wedding dress, having searched shop after shop to no avail. Aideen expertly guided me through designs and fabric samples from chantilly lace to beading and edging on the dress. Aideen talked me through every step of her creation ensuring I was happy and confident in the process at all times. She was a true professional to deal with, adding much needed humour in times of chaos!! From the first to last appointment I felt 100 percent part of my dress design and it added to the sentimentality and memories of the day! I will certainly be visiting Aideen again!

Aideen designed my perfect dress back in 2009. Still to this day I get excellent comments on how beautiful my dress was. I had found Aideen's website at a time where I had been to just about every shop in Dublin but found nothing that spoke to me. I rang Aideen and made appointment after which I left with my dream dress in the planning. Comfort was a huge thing for me and my dress was so comfortable I left it on until the early hours of the morning. Aideen so was so helpful. I still follow her on Facebook and admire all her collection. Would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.
