Tell us about your business... 
I bring a fresh approach to the traditional art of dressmaking. I work across bridal, stage and screen delivering expert alterations and bespoke commissions. I work with each customer to bring their design to life, with my core values of craftsmanship and sustainability.

What's your background and why did you launch Grace Lane London?
I trained at Alexander McQueen, Gieves and Hawkes and Angels the Costumiers. Having learnt from the best I set up Grace Lane London in 2016, with a focus on expert pattern-cutting and garment construction. I discovered the wonderful world of bridal when I made my best friend's bridesmaids' dresses, I knew that my bespoke skills had found their home!

What's your top tip for brides looking for their dream dress?
My top tip is to get your dress expertly fitted; this will transform the way you feel in your dress. Alterations will really elevate your look, here at Grace Lane London I do major restyles or just a simple hem.

Recently I worked with a bride to redesign her Mum's original 1970's wedding dress, there are so many possibilities when it comes to alterations!

What's been the highlight of your career so far?
I have had the honour of seeing my work in music videos, on stage, and in print. As well as working closely with my amazing bridal clients to bring their custom-made wedding dresses to life. From tailoring celebrity wedding dresses to making the costumes for Westlife's arena tour it's difficult to pick a favourite! I'm grateful to do what I love for a living.

What to do now to get your finances ready for 2027 

Aileen Robertson, Tesco Bank's Head of Savings, has shared ways soon-to-be-wedded couples and newlyweds can build healthy savings habits and step into 2027 feeling more confident about their shared futures! Aileen Robertson, Head of Savings at Tesco Bank, comments: "The start of a new year often feels like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, with people embracing resolutions and looking to turn over a new leaf. But creating new habits can take time as people settle back into their routines, and sometimes those good intentions never quite get off the ground. "If you're trying to stay on top of your finances in 2027, taking small steps now can make that journey much easier. It's important to remember that it's never too late, or too early, to start working towards your goals. Setting them is the first step, whether they're big or small, so think about what you want your money to do for you. From here you can start to work towards your goals, building good savings habits along the way, and see your money grow over time."
