The dress fits and feels very regal. Perfect sizing and superbly made. Would definitely purchase more from this range.
The next day delivery did not arrive on time and the delivery was underpaid so I had to collect from the post office and pay extra charges. Unfortunately I had no reply upon relaying this to the company.
As Mother of the Groom I just knew this dress was the one for me!
So many compliments, so many Wows!!
It made me feel Beautiful!
And………. It has pockets!
Thank you
Katya is a truly wonderful lady. She totally understood what would suit me. I felt listened too and when I popped on the dress felt a million dollars. I will definitely come back for more x
Bought this stunning dress to wear at my daughter’s wedding next Spring …. I saw this dress a while back and always wanted a reason to come and try it …. This photo is at Katya Wildman atelier, as it’s not had its official outing yet. Suffice to say I said “yes to the dress”, my daughter and husband came with me from W Yorkshire to try the dresses with Katya - they agreed it looked as stunning as I felt in it. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried on a dress with the wow factor that this dress had, I felt like it fit me in all the right places …. If you’re in any doubt then book a try on with Katya, she knew instantly what would flatter my figure and was so welcoming x
(For reference I’m a size 16 and 5ft7 )
Absolutely stunning gown which made me feel wonderful from the moment I tried it on. Everything is spot on - the fabric is so soft and it moves like a dream. It was perfect for my wedding in July. Thankfully the heatwave broke a little, so it was perfect for a sunny windy day with the temperature being about 25 degrees. It didn’t feel too hot to wear, and made me feel very bridal. Thank you so much for designing such a comfortable and beautiful dress.
I can honestly say that this is the loveliest dress that I have ever owned! It makes me feel so special. I wore it for a formal night on a cruise and just floated along all evening. I had so many lovely comments that I felt a million dollars. I love all my Bombshell dresses and always feel great in them but this dress took me to another level. I can’t thank you enough Katya.
The dress is fabulous. I have only tried it on to make sure it fits. The wedding is late March and I am looking forward to wearing it on the day. Couldn't be happier with it and the service received from Katya.
I chose this dress to marry my childhood sweetheart and it was perfect! It really is the dress of dreams and made our special day a little more beautiful. Thank you Katya Wildman., you are amazing ❤️
I am in love with this dress. When ever I wear it I feel amazing and get so many compliments. It’s so comfortable and doesn’t crease which is a dream. If I could get away with wearing it all the time I would but it’s saved for special occasions. Thank you for making such wonderful clothes Katya that bring out the goddess in every woman x
The material is beautiful. I’ve only managed to open the box, as I was rushing out the door to a conference. I’m hoping it will fit and look amazing as I’m taking it to Chicago to an awards dinner.
I bought this dress for my daughter wedding next year, it’s perfect.
The most beautiful fabric, style and I feel amazing in it.
Photos will follow after the wedding.
I have bought this dress for my wedding. It fitted perfectly and is beautifully made with a professional finish befitting couture.
I felt amazing and I am so looking forward to wearing it on my special day.
This dress is gorgeous. Comfortable to wear and the fabric is beautiful. extremely well made. Visited Katya before purchase and she was so helpful. Loved this dress so much I bought 2 others that are just as amazing.
I haven’t worn it yet as wedding is next month!
However, the headpiece that you made me to go with it doesn’t suit so if anyone needs one it’s available unused.
Absolutely thrilled with my signature Grace Dress. Exactly what I was looking for and can't wait to show it off on my big day 12th Sept !
Katya was wonderful, so helpful and made it a great experience. Highly recommend!
Thanks Katya,
Louise Denholm
Fabulous experience with Katya - made me feel so at ease . Dress is beautiful . Can’t wait to wear it when Mother of the Bride so no pics until August !!! Can’t recommend highly enough 🩷
I ordered the dress for my Mum to wear on my wedding day which is in August 2026. She is delighted with the dress. The pattern, cut and fabric feel are all exceptional. This is her second Katya Wildman dress and certainly won’t be her last!
Upon meeting Katya I immediately felt comfortable and that she would make the dress fo a high standard, having tried on various models. I absolutely loved the cream and gold dress but unfortunately I needed a dress for a black tie. Do which included the dresses had to be in black. The style attention to detail and professionalism of Katya’s designs made the whole experience fantastic. I would highly recommend purchasing a garment from Katya , thank you Katya and your team regards Jane
This was the only dress I even considered for my son’s wedding this September. I never got my own ‘bridal moment’ because my mum wasn’t around and my then best friend was too hungover to come dress shopping with me. So I went alone and have always felt I missed out. However when I put this dress on I got that moment, that feeling, 35 years late. I cannot WAIT to wear it and I can’t thank you enough Katia, for giving me the moment I had never had when I said emphatically YES to your beautiful dress! I will be sending you photos from the big day. You’re amazing and I’m a fan ♥️
I first saw this beautiful dress being worn by Sophie Willan at the Baftas.
I searched for said dress, and consequently ordered it.
I absolutely Love Love Love it.
I am getting married shortly, and was dreading having to go and search for a suitable frock. Now I don't have to because I am going to wear this one. Beautiful to look at, fits perfectly, just fabulous! THANKYOU 😊
Is this suitable for a mother of the bride or groom?
Yes, this is a popular and elegant choice for a mother of the bride or groom. The champagne cream gold colours really complement the bridal party. Often when brides want a neutral or soft tonal aesthetic for the wedding party this is a great choice.
Is this suitable for a mature bride?
This is a striking alternative to a traditional white wedding dress.
This is a beautiful choice for a mature bride looking for something effortless and glamorous as the shirt dress is really flattering and feels age appropriate. Think Helen Mirren on the red carpet. Brides often shorten this dress after the event so they can wear it again.
Is the fabric light or heavy to wear?
It is surprisingly lightweight to wear.
Is it flattering for curves?
All Katya Wildman dresses and gowns are extremely flattering for women's curves. Waist reducing, slimming and tummy concealing. Katya designs her dresses to lift the bust and really is renowned for dresses that make you feel confident whatever your size.
Is it comfortable to wear all day?
Yes, this is light weight and comfortable.
How tall is Katya?
Katya Wildman is 5'4.
Can you shorten it for me?
Yes, either buy online and pin where you want it to be or come in and see me!
It is £80 to alter the hem.
Can you make me a longer one?
Yes, just reach out and ask me how long you need it to be. However I have had many 5'10 5'11 and 6ft women buy this dress and liked it as it was ankle length / long ballerina length.
Will anyone else be wearing this dress at the wedding?
Not very likely as I only make a few in each size.
Where is this dress made?
This dress is made here in London by a small family factory.
Can I take this on a cruise?
Absolutely! Many customers have worn this dress for cruising and have reported that they have worn to evening gala's or for dinner at the Captain's table. Katya Wildman dresses are a go-to for people that love to dress up on cruises.
