1.4k for a custom made wedding dress seems like a very good price to me! (even though I'm 19, single, and have no expertise in wedding dress prices 😂)

Hannah: She's another short, big-breasted, Jewish woman. Me (a short, big-breasted, Jewish woman): I feel so seen

£1400 might be a lot for a lot of people but I definitely expected more for a custom made dress. Also being yellow and not overly bridal means you can wear it for future formal events in future. Personally to me makes more sense to a very bridal dress that you can never wear again.

A lot of vintage dresses have strap keepers - although they’re typically at the apex of the shoulder, and fasten with very small snaps to one side instead of the middle. Too bad the ones on your dress were uncomfortable - I usually never even feel them! Years back I was searching for sleeveless 1950s vintage dresses on Etsy and I came across what was obviously a wedding dress - it was an ivory tulle tea-length confection in very good condition and the measurements fit mine. AND IT WAS $48! So of course I bought the dress. Was I even dating anyone? No. Am I now? No. But I’m keeping that dress by gum because you never know and I for sure would never find a smoking deal like THAT again!!! So yes, I’m the weird spinster with an unworn wedding dress in her closet, and you know what? No regrets.

I'm 18 and very single and am hoping this woman is still in business by the time I get married. LOVED YOUR DRESS.

Obviously 1400 is a lot of money but I personally feel better about that money being spent on the product you received rather than 400 on something made in a terrible factory + not fitted well

26 minutes about the dress. Time to get the popcorn. 🍿

LOVE IT! My mum wore Lilac at my parents wedding with real flowers in her hair. In the pictures she looked a Greek nymph

I am getting married in a week and I feel you so much on everything that you have explained from your journey! My partner doesn´t know this yet, but I bought a cape! I am wearing long puffy sleeves and I decided to go for white because my gran really wanted to see me in white. Shoes are blue and make up will have stars :) I think my boyfriend is going to freak out hahahaha

The instant I saw your dress I just thought: how on earth did she manage to find a dress that was this PERFECT for her? Now I know the answer :D

Can you make a video about the type of wedding you had? I only really know about the traditional white dress, Christian, dad gives daughter away kinda weddings - could you talk us through the decision process behind the different aspects that you chose? 😊

This dress is Incredible - I know you didn't have a professional photographer on the day, but will you do like a "wedding shoot" with the dress do you think?

One of my best friends married in august and she decided for a custom dress, too. Hers was a lot more "bridal", but really really beautiful and it fit her perfectly, obviously. She had an open back so the designer/seamstress didn't only put hooks and eyes on the shoulders for the straps but also at the waist to secure the wrap-around bra. The nicest extra, though, was that she gave the surplus fabric to my friend who then handmade the dress for her toddler from those fabric pieces for her christening in the same ceremony. So adorable! In the end it wasn't more expensive than a "normal" wedding dress and the price also included removing and dying the skirt so it can more easily reworn. Now I'm thinking about getting a dress custom made as well - if I ever marry ;)

the little blue and purple-ish details in the shoes match the buttons on the back of the dress and I’m so in love with it!!! 😍😍

Not noticing an advert loaded first "Jimmy Cho presents" Me " wow this is a fancier video than I was expecting"

Being an amateur seamstress, that price is really good. So many hours! Plus the materials. I love that you appreciate all of that and the expertise. Great video all over. So informative and entertaining and just lovely! 😊

When you're not even engaged and you recognise the dress maker's website from, um... research. Welp. I love retro wedding dresses and her website is gorgeous, even though I'm not quite ready to make that step yet! Your dress came out so fabulous and it's great to hear about the actual process :)

My parents wedding and honeymoon combined cost less or about as much as my aunts wedding dress alone. Wedding dresses are crazy. My mother made hers herself which was good because she got pregnant so she was able to adjust the design to allow for her to change size and she was able to get her perfect dress (or near perfect because she had to change the design anyway) for way cheaper. My parents had a medieval themed wedding so their outfits were medieval/medieval inspired and they also made clothes for a lot of the guests. I don't remember who made it (both my parents sew) but my father's clothes were also handmade. My mother and her bridal party were in purple (purple and gold for her) and my father and his whatever the male version of a bridal party is was in blue (blue and silver/grey for him) because they were their favourite colours. It was so untraditional I think my grandma refused to go.

This is so cool, I’ve always wanted to wear purple and my girlfriend is obsessed with purple as much as me. I can so imagine in our wedding day with us both being in purple. Boho has always been the Avenue I’ve wanted to go down.

I definitely share your feeling about trying to find specific 50s/A-line tea length wedding dresses. Everything seems to be very long, tight and lace-y lately and for shorter and curvier people that’s much harder to navigate. I loved your wedding dress colours. You and Dan complemented eachother so well!

Ahhh I loved this entire video! The process of getting a custom dress was super interesting, and I'm so glad it ended up being in your price range. Sounds like it all came together perfectly... minus the COVID stuff. You looked gorgeous!

the dress is so pretty! it looks like a fiery version of belle's iconic yellow ballgown.

First thing I thought when I saw your dress was how beautifully similar it is to Maria's dress in the new West Side Story movie!! Gorgeous!!

I love how u stuck to your own style and didnt compromise by going for a more traditional dress. So cool ! 💛

I'd love to know how other people at your wedding reacted to the dress, particularly that you chose not to go for a standard white. If I ever get married, that definitely seems like something I would want to do!

When my grandma past away I got a bit of money, I have put that away for a wedding dress so I can feel like I have her with me on my wedding day 💕

We do the popper thing for bras in dresses we make for a lot of the theatre shows I work on. :)

Holy moley i've been WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!

Omg yesss the poppers in the dress straps!! My grandma was a dressmaker and she taught me to do it, now I’ve sewn a bunch of them into my clothes... seriously, all clothes should come with them!!

THOSE SHOES!! I can't believe you almost didn't share them! They're amazing 😍

I had my dress custom made in an unusual pattern. It's wonderful!! 100% worth it! Yours is gorgeous.

I love yellow too and I’m sooo happy for you

The dress is so cool, and the shoes are gorgeous! My mum was a dress maker and so loads of my dresses have the popper thingy for bra straps as she's totally pro those things. Also, I'd like to wear an altered version of my mums dress for my wedding in the future, best thing is it can be altered by my mum herself! So glad you had an amazing wedding in these crazy times.

As someone who sews and can build dresses I imagine the fabric cost alone to be around £300-500 depending on fabric type/cost/thickness/quality. Then you need to add on all the hours building the dress itself, designing, pattern drafting and sewing. Will be fun to see how much it costs at the end if Hannah lets us know.

Congratulations, Hannah!! The dress is gorgeous and so unique + fun, I love it! I'm really glad you were able to have a wedding celebration what with covid. One note about the bra poppers - I absolutely agree, having the poppers would make clothes sooo much more convenient. A lot of South Asian formal wear actually has this built in and I always thought they were really useful, though they're placed closer to the shoulder.

As a seamstress on my own i’m so glad that you did a whole video about how good, amazing and personal can be costume dresses, i’m so happy (and proud). Congrats! You looked SO AMAZING in this dress 💛💛

i love that you were talking about the contrast between purple/blue and sunflowers in front of a purple/blue painting with sunflowers !

Your wedding dress was really lovely! I’m not normally into weddings or anything, but here I am watching the video anyway 😂

Imagine Disneybounding in this dress as Belle!

That shine in your eyes throughout this entire video makes me so happy! Congratulations! Sending lots of love and best wishes.

I'm sooooo happy your wedding dress wasn't white. You looked amazing! Its so important to wear something you love and feel like yourself in on a such a special day x x x

"Is that a 28 year old bride or...an 8 year old child?" 😂😍

My Grandma made my twins and a cousin’s dress. So Special!

I didn’t have a white dress either. I had an Ivory and navy tulle one from phase eight. It wasn’t even meant to be a wedding dress I just thought it was lovely. I saw it and was lucky enough to find it on eBay (was meant to be £400, I got it for £90).

The tradition of white wedding dresses is a relatively recent thing. Most Victorian brides didn't wear white. I didn't get married in white because I didn't want to spend a lot on a dress I'd only wear once, I definitely wasn't virginal and a lot of wedding dresses look like a baked Alaska! I bought an off the peg dress in the sale at Liberty's which cost me £90 (which is the most I've ever spent on a garment). I got a lot of wear out of it too! It was a cornflower blue printed cotton dress and I loved it. It eventually wore out. My bridesmaids were dressed in very pretty sun dresses I bought in BHS and they got a lot of wear out of those too. My parents were divorced pensioners and neither had any money so we paid for everything after saving up, although my mum made and paid for the cake. It was a lovely wedding, everyone had a great time and the whole cost, including the honeymoon, was under £5000.

SO BEAUTIFUL and fun and whimsical it really is like /your/ dress. Like every elememt screams Hannah Witton and that's wonderful

those shoes are FABULOUS

I saw the pictures on insta and couldn’t help but smile. The dress is soooo Hannah. OF COURSE she wanted a yellow tea length dress w red/orange tulle and polka dots and no veil. Beautiful and exuberant and free. So happy for you.

The dress in your first fitting is called a Muslin! And oh goodness this is beautiful!!!

the excitement in this video is so adorable, I love everything about this 🥺🥺

I got a custom dress for my wedding too! It was about the same price in $. What's the deal with "tea length" dresses being harder to find? Wedding dress designers, take note. I was also insistent on having a keyhole back. Then I decided to make mine pink for no reason other than it looked good on me and it was custom! Congrats! Such a beautiful dress and you will cherish the experience.

Having bought a traditional wedding dress for our (postponed) church wedding, and having made my own dress for the smaller legal wedding, I can definitely tell you that's a fair price. The amount of work that goes into all the details, working with tricky fabrics, getting the size just right... You look amazing in it!

Love your dress- looks gorgeous! I bought my wedding dress unseen based on my measurements from chotronette- it was tea length 50s and had flowers in it and was relatively cheap for a wedding dress- about £350 i believe. Best thing is I can wear it again. It was a bit out there but i wanted to be different. Sometimes i wish i had gone for a long white dress like most other people but husband loved it and says it was very me!

Aaaahhhhhhhh I love it!! 😍💛 Custom was definitely the way to go. That dress embodies you. And that price tag wasn't bad either. Especially when everything that is marked as being bridal can be expensive as fuck off the rack at a bridal shop 🌻

LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress and hearing all about your thought process. Also the buttons detail are to die for!

Congratulations Hannah! Your dress is so beautiful!! You and your partner look gorgeous!!! So happy for you ☺️❤️

Your dress cost the same as my dress but my dress is custom fitted of the rack classic dress. And now I'm like damn, did I miss a trick?? But no, I love my dress. I also love your dress. Dresses, wow. Good things.

I want a similar thing for my wedding and am also thinking about custom made since my friend's auntie is a dressmaker :)

20:40 Ooo we have those in India too but it's a hook and eye situation or a snap fastener, doesn't poke...makes life so much easier 😍

Omg it suited you so well!

such a unique dress ! and I get it about the Needle and Threads dress, everytime I see one on Asos I'm like "I could totally get married in this dress" !

That's so cool! I love how much of your personaility you managed to get into your dress. Conratulations on your wedding! Also, your ring looks a lot like my wedding ring - 3 stone setting with white, green, white. It's vintage from the 70s or 80s, so that's cool!

Congratulations! I wore yellow when I got married too, my brother had just finished a textile design degree and he made it for me. It was extra special 💛💛💛

I literally cried watching this video, you two are the cutest!

SUCH A STUNNING DRESS. Also, as a fellow ostomy person I appreciated the wedding poo update! Huge congratulations to you both 💖

Omg you looked STUNNING! I'm so so happy for you!

Soooooo pretty love how you managed to get everything you wanted so perfectly!

I only recently found your channels, but I got married in October 2022 (delayed for two years because of covid) and also had my dress made by The Couture Company! Jo is just amazing, as is her team. 😊

I mean it’s your day boo! You can spend your earned money however you want to! 🤍

THE. SHOES.

I used to work at a tailor/custom dress making place. The mock up is called a muslin and is sometimes made out of left over fabric to avoid waste! We also would ask the client to bring in an old bra and sew the bra right into the dress so that is another option for brides! You're dress was beautiful and I'm so happy for you!

I love this story about getting the dress💙

your wedding photos are gorgeous !! idk if its just me being a romantic sop / missing my own boyfriend / just really liking when people are happy, but your photos made me get a lil teary

I agree, that little popper is such a great invention - I had them in the straps of my wedding dress but I also had one at the back which stopped the back bit of my bra riding up into view, as I had a fairly low backed dress! Absolute genius, and I'm tempted to add them into all my other dresses now...

OMG IT SPINS PERFECTLY!

I have a different body shape, different disabilities and challenges. I want a blue or maybe periwinkle colour, but I can sew, my aunt helped me sew my own high school grad dress (materials cost $50, my classmates spend around $250 or more), and I'm hoping to get her to help. But I might consult a local designer, or even a friend who works doing costumes for local theatre. I love sewing, and I can make casual clothes, but I struggle with sizing and designs. It really helps to have someone who knows designs and how fabrics work together.

I've been watching your videos for so many years that when i saw your wedding pics i felt so emotional lol. It's amazing to see someone grow and change and i wish you the happiest marriage!

As someone who also has trouble finding stuff that fits and wanted it to be non-white - I wish I could show this video to my last-year-self during the wedding-dress-shopping-stress-period, haha. Personally, I went with a shop on Etsy, as I wanted to be able to see the design first, but also wanted to be able to choose the colours/pattern and have it made to my measurements from start. It's also awesome for anyone on a smaller budget (150-1k €/£/$) as the individual shops usually base the cost on the fabric and actual work, without enormous markups just because it's a wedding dress.

I'm just very excited that now you have the perfect Belle Disneybound for Dapper Day

So excited to watch this 😍 my mum made my wedding dress for me (which worked out well because with delays from covid I was 6 months pregnant!) so I love seeing custom dresses, especially when they aren't your standard white/other shades of white dress 😍 mine was a pink ballgown with butterflies all over it ☺️

You've said you guys are gonna have an unconventional wedding and that's totally appreciable, but this custom wedding dress stuff is so romantically classic and traditional. It's the Jane Austen inside of you coming to light! 😁

It's so beautiful! I just picked out my dress a few weeks ago and this makes me so excited to wear it next year!

Bizarre, I was randomly thinking about this custom dress video yesterday and today it’s on my KZfaq homepage 😮

When I saw the pictures on Instagram I was wondering how you found such a perfect Hannah Witton dress. So this makes sense 🤣

Hannah looks so radiant and classy today I’m 🥺

I am also a petite 5 feet tall, so finding my wedding dress was ROUGH. Everything is sized for such big people! Your dress is GORGEOUS! I love all the details, and the colors are just beautiful. Definitely worth the investment!

Literally never clicked so fast in a video! The dress was so beautiful😍

I love that you wore something that so fully expressed your personality! I went all traditional wedding many years ago, and now always recommend that people mix it up and add their own individual touches. Who's making the rules anyway? When you were describing your dress, it reminded me of an episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" (US) where an actress picked out a dress for a Broadway play called "Honeymoon in Vegas". It was ivory but otherwise similar with a scoop neck top and tea length floofy skirt!

I bought a dress off the rack at a shop going out of business about 4 years before my actual wedding. The dress was $99. My cousin did the alterations and added a lavender fabric to the skirts. I had a purple wedding dress and it was amazing

I'm so happy you could get such a wonderful dress and just the way you wanted it. I did an express wedding so I took very little time to look for a dress. And I also bought it thinking I could wear it again to an event or something but it doesn't fit me anymore and it's kinda sad just seeing sitting there at the back of my closet...

Yesss I'm so ready for this video!

Me too yellow shoes and checkered skirt for my wedding! Beautiful choice!

you look so happy and so pretty! congratulations

My mum's wedding dress wasn't white and I don't want mine to be white either! It was mid 90s when she got married so not so fashionable anymore but the dress was burgundy and ivory, I've not seen many other dresses like this but I love yours! And the yellow really suits you too 💛

I've been looking for a celestial wedding dress forever! I'm definitely going to check this company out :)

Smiling excitingly through the whole video 😄 I love this dress, everything about it is perfect Congrats again !!!!

Wow this is perfect! I’m planning on the same thing, just not yellow!! Thanks for making this

Your dress is beautiful and so unique! I’m glad you got to wear the dress of your dreams ☺️. Congratulations on your wedding!

That dress is god tier.

This was so wholesome & I'm so happy you got what you wanted. I got married earlier this year in purple ;) so I am a fan of the alternative coloured dress. I was lucky to have something cheap (
