About Hilary Jane

February 11th, 2007

With a degree in physics, and a background in research and IT, Hilary Jane took up as a full time profession the hobby she has had since the age of 6. After the preliminary primary school Aida samplers and basic knitting, Hilary made a complete doll’s wardrobe at the age of 8, then all her own clothes from age 11 onwards. Hilary makes up for her lack of formal qualifications with a lifetime’s practical experience in fashion, both for herself and for friends.

More recently, Hilary has studied at the Alison Victoria School of sewing, taking advanced corsetry, bridal and evening wear courses. At present she is about to submit her City & Cuilds Corsetry with Alison Victoria.

As a Member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Hilary’s skill and professionalism is formally recognised with the Guild logo you see on this web site.

Designer Bridal Gowns and Occasion Wear

Hilary Jane designs is a small family run business offering bespoke Wedding dresses and evening wear designed and personally hand made to measure by Hilary Jane in her South Manchester studio.

Made to Measure Wedding Dresses

Each gown is designed individually with each Bride. From the initial sketch the design is developed to a personal pattern block, and from there a toile or mock-up of the dress is made up in calico or similar fabric. Once the style and fit are established the fabric is cut and hand crafted to the highest standards; fitting ensures a perfectly sculpted Wedding dress and high quality hand finishing results in a superb Bridal Gown.

Perfect Fit

Clever cut & styling ensure all Hilary Jane designs flatter and accentuate the female figure. At each consultation the design and fabric are worked with the utmost care towards a perfect result: style, fit, and the finest hand finish.

Bridal Corsets Bridal Capes

Hilary Jane has trained in the detailed techniques of traditional corset making; a corset to wear as a sound foundation garment for a fully boned bodice or to cover in silk, brocade or embroidery– perfectly structured and perfectly comfortable - to create a classic hour glass figure - a silhouette to die for.

Bridal Capes are another specialist area where Hilary Jane applies her craftsmanship and expertise to create the ultimate finishing touch to the Bridal ensemble. Bridal capes and Bridal coats are made to measure in a wealth of fabrics – organzas, chiffon, georgette, velvet. Hilary Jane designs and makes all capes to order, each one designed and made to measure as part of the overall Wedding ensemble.

Bridesmaids & Wedding Accessories

To compliment the Bridal gown service, Hilary Jane is able to offer made to measure Bridesmaids, and accessories (waistcoats, cravats, veils, bags) are fully co-ordinated to your colour and fabric scheme.

Mother of the Bride, Evening Wear and Prom Dresses

Hilary Jane takes special pride in her service to the Mother of the Bride and Groom, with combined day /evening ensembles carefully colour co-ordinated in 100% silk fabrics, delicately embellished with matching beading and embroidery and, of course, lovingly designed and constructed to the same high standard as the Bride. For evening and prom wear Hilary Jane creates eye catching but stylish dresses: well cut, well fitted but just that little bit different from the rest.

Hand Finishing

Hilary Jane specialises in delicate bead work and embroidery. As with all her made to measure gowns and dresses, Hilary Jane designs each commission with and for each client individually; all stitching is beautifully worked by hand and the design co-ordinated to the theme of the day and it colours.
