V J Burton Gowns

I highly recommend Vanessa if you are wanting a one of a kind dress! I knew I was in the right hands as soon as I met with Vanessa to start planning my dream wedding dress. She was easily able to interpret my ideas for the dress and wasted no time getting it under way, despite the difficulties of lockdown due to Covid. I enjoyed the time at the fitting and seeing it come along, and the end result surpassed all my expectations. I can't wait to wear this beautiful bespoke dress down the aisle in September!!!

I could not have asked for a better experience with Vanessa for my wedding dress. Not only was she able to bring my vision to life, but she is insanely talented and a gorgeous person too. She created the most gorgeous wedding gown, that highlighted the best parts of my curvy figure, at a fraction of the cost it would have been from a bridal boutique - and its a one of a kind! I would highly recommend you give her a call for a chat - you wont be disappointed. Thanks Vanessa!

Ive been fortunate enough to have Vanessa create two gowns for me, both times when Ive been a bridesmaid. Vanessa is quite simply a magician. With very little direction from me, she was able to draw out (literally!) my preferences, sketching something so I could see it before we started. Her knowledge of fabrics and the way they drape, the light, the different methods she uses.. all just mind-blowing. Her workmanship is exquisite - I have ended up with two gowns that fit and flatter my (size 18) body, highlighting my best features and skimming gently over those I preferred less - in both instances I wore the gowns with comfort and felt like a million dollars. In fact, when my Mother married and I was her Maid of Honour, the gown Vanessa created for me was so lovely, I wore it a second time. If you are considering having Vanessa work with you on something, simply go ahead and do it - you are guaranteed a masterpiece, all while getting to share time with her - you will come to know her as I did; accommodating, warm and genuine.

I knew how good Vanessa was, I'd seen her work on another very particular bride (no offence Angie). I feel priviledge and honoured to have had my Wedding dress, my two daughters matchong outfits, my hubby and son matching waist coat and ties tailored by Vanessa - tied in perfectly. A creation from my mind came to real life and way beyond expectations, the way she got us working together to create something incredible. I gave Vanessa vintage lace I picked up from Trade Me and WOW what a beautiful creation fitting like a glove. I hope to work with you again Vanessa beautiful soul and talented like no other. Thanks for keeping the price realistic.

I wish to thank Vanessa for my beautiful wedding outfit, which was a 3/4 length lace dress and satin coat. Vanessa came up with the idea to sew a label inside my coat which ended up being my something blue, this meant so much to me. The whole experience was amazing, i found Vanessa to be a great listener, patient and consultative during the journey, a true professional. She made me feel comfortable and most important gave me what i wanted. I highly recommend Vanessa anyday.
