Jenny Lessin

Jenny is fantastic. She listened to what I wanted and made me a dress that was as unique as it was classic. I couldn't have dreamt of anything better and really enjoyed the process. Her studio is an oasis of calm in the otherwise turbulent months leading up to a wedding!

Working with Jenny was the perfect experience. She is patient, creative and so talented. I have recommended her to all my friends. She is AMAZING!!!

Having Jenny design my wedding dress was one of the best decisions I made throughout our wedding planning. She made what can be a nerve wracking/complicated process easy and comfortable. She is welcoming, funny and astute; often knowing what will work before you do in terms of a dress whilst still remaining open to your ideas. She made me a unique dress that somehow managed to encapsulate the vintage style I love with touches of modernity that made it fresh and young. I couldn't recommend Jenny's work highly enough, especially if you're a bride on the hunt for something stylish with great attention to detail.

I’m not really a wedding dress person and so was dreading trying to find one I liked. I was so fortunate to come across Jenny and loved so many of her dresses. When I explained my ideas, she really understood and built on them whilst also reigning in ideas to make them suitable for a wedding which resulted in her creating the most amazing dress that was better than I could have imagined. I looked forwards to meeting up with her and found it so enjoyable, she really puts you at ease.As we postponed the wedding due to covid, when I next contacted Jenny it was to say that I was pregnant and due to give birth 4 months before the wedding. She was unbelievably accommodating and really went out of her way to make things easy for my baby and I in terms of scheduling fittings, video calls and (when we heard my partner coming down the road with our screaming baby) dropping everything to let us nurse comfortably in her lounge.Jenny also went out of her way to ensure I felt beautiful on my wedding day, making sure that the dress fitted and was unexpectedly flattering on my frequently changing post pregnancy body whilst also being practical with me being able to breastfeed in it without feeling exposed.I think the the fact that my mum is not a big spender or an elaborate wedding person but commented frequently on the beauty of the dress, on Jenny’s skill, her dedication, her accommodation, the general experience and on the fairness of her prices is proof of my good fortune in finding her and in her making my dress.Not planning on getting married again but would love to do the whole dress aspect again - something I really never thought I’d say.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have had my beautiful bespoke wedding dress made by Jenny. After trying on many dresses in shops I still couldn't find what I was looking for. By extremely good fortune, I found Jenny and from our first phone call I knew I was in the safest and most expert pair of hands. Jenny was absolutely remarkable - she always knew exactly what I wanted (often before I did!) by taking the time to get to know me and my character. Over the following months the dress that she created was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Jenny's mastery and skill couldn't be more evident in the dedication and care she took over each stitch and fold. I found her studio to become an oasis of calm and fun, and I will treasure the memories of our meetings and watching the dress take shape. On the wedding day, it was the most incredible feeling to wear my bespoke dress and I could not have felt happier, or more like me. To all future brides out there, I can't recommend Jenny enough. She is exceptional.

From the moment I first spoke to Jenny I knew she would capture my vision perfectly and when I received the initial sketch it was exactly what I’d pictured in my mind! Jenny’s guidance on fabric choices and detailing was extremely helpful! It’s a scary process when you don’t know how the dress will look but Jenny put all those thoughts at ease and the dress when finished was more beautiful than any dress I’d tried on in any shops! Having the dress made to fit you also makes such a big difference! Would highly recommend anyone looking for something unique and beautiful to go to Jenny!

I began looking for wedding dresses at places like the Mews and Charlie Brear as I wanted that beautiful French-style wedding dress rather than the super bridal look. However I couldn't find something that had everything I wanted in 1 so decided to go bespoke. I honestly cannot recommend Jenny enough - my dress is absolutely beautiful, she's used the best materials and her attention to detail left her doing extra bits of work here and there. My friend who is also getting married at the same time also got her dress made by someone else and said that she preferred mine to hers! Another 2 friends says it's the best dress they have ever seen! I cannot wait to wear in next week xoxoxoxox

I had a wonderful experience with Jenny. After an initial discussion, she provided me with a sketch for my wedding dress, somehow capturing exactly what I'd imagined. Sadly the pandemic hit shortly after, but Jenny remained in contact throughout with FaceTime calls and updates on the design. Once we were able to meet in person again, I always looked forward to my appointments at her beautiful studio. She had so many ideas for little flourishes and details that ended up making the dress into something very special, tailored perfectly to my figure and aesthetic. I now have a wearable work of art and gorgeous photos from my wedding day. I also found her pricing very reasonable, and regardless, the feeling of wearing a perfect, totally custom dress on your big day is priceless! Jenny is meticulous, creative, and made the process very enjoyable. I highly recommend her.

‘The Dress’. A phrase which delights some, but one that had started to strike fear in me. I went to a number of boutiques and realised that I was after something very particular and I wasn’t going to find it in a shop.I came across Jenny very fortuitously, and was bowled over by the range of her previous designs and her obvious attention to detail. The main thing is that all of Jenny’s brides look truly effortless and unique.I loved the design process and Jenny was great throughout. The movement of the dress was very important to me, and somehow, over the course of a few sessions, Jenny managed to create something which flowed perfectly.Yes, there’s a moment when you’re walking up the stairs to her studio (I affectionate named ‘the stairway of horror and delight’) and you don’t know what to expect, but every time I was amazed at the developments.It was a creative journey and one of my favourite parts of the wedding planning process. It was ‘My Dress’ and it was just incredible to wear.

What can I say, Jenny is an absolute bloody genius and watching her work is an incredible experience. On my first visit, I kind of had an idea of what I wanted but could never imagine the thousands of tiny decisions that it would take to get there... Jenny guided me through every second of it, adding her own creativity and coming up with a truly beautiful dress that felt perfect. I loved every second of having a handmade dress made for me: I loved the process, I love the dress and I especially loved wearing it! I recommend beyond words.
