Do think about the financing of your dress in advance of your appointment as this will help you focus when it comes to making your final decision. Dresses start from just under £2000 – £5000.
We do apply particular importance to the standard of the fitting of our gowns and therefore, make a charge for this. This charge is discussed at the time of fittings with you allocated seamstress when the right fitting package for you is recommended. We offer full made-to-measure service with a toile and/or standard fitting packages.
We have a premium ex-display dress boutique for those lucky brides whose height and size may work for these dresses at amazing discounted prices. These brides would still receive the excellent Carina Baverstock Couture experience.
Carina will take time to listen to all your wedding hopes, worries and anxieties about any figure issues and, with the right advice and choice of dress all these wobbles will be magically taken away!!
Our CBC brides are confident and elegant throughout. They will be guided whilst trying on several dresses from our stunning collections and helpful advice will be given on the perfect colour, texture as well as correct neckline and overall silhouette to balance your figure.
It is helpful to wear nude underwear with good fitting pants and a strapless bra if possible. We do have a small selection of bras and shoes for your convenience.
All our special one-to-one consultations are charged at £35.
This can be a brilliant way to purchase your wedding gown however being an average height and a size 8-12 can be an advantage. All our ex-display dresses are of premium quality and excellent condition. Alteration packages are available to purchase.
These sale gowns are paid in full at the time of purchase.
We love little ones but please try not to bring them with you to your very special consultation. We want you to be able to soak up every moment and not feel distracted in any way from the enjoyment of the boutique.
During consultations, we would recommend not taking any photographs however we offer a Facebook Portal service for those who wish to share your moment with.

Congratulations on becoming a CBC bride!

These are highly trained, couture standard seamstresses. She is your new best friend and she will work with you, advising you on the right underwear, the fit of the dress and of course, carry out necessary alterations for you to ensure perfect fit. Finally she will press and professionally pack your gown for collection.
We like to recommend Ender Legard for all underwear solutions.
We offer fittings from Monday through Friday. Do chose a day of the week that you can always make so that you can work with your same allocated fitter.
It is advisable to book time out of your busy diaries now for these all important fittings.
1. Breathe Deeply and Relax! Let us assure you that the first fit of your actual gown is to ‘perfect the fit’ – don’t expect it to be perfect yet, that is why you are with us, so that we can get it just right for you.
2. You are working with experienced, fully trained, in-house bridal fitters and couture level seamstresses who will ensure you have a beautifully fitted dress but please try to keep in mind the following advice:
– May we advise you just bring one or two special people such as your mum or bridesmaid as a second pair of eyes, preferably it should be the person dressing you on the day.
– BRA and SHOES are essential for a 1st fitting and without them our fitters cannot do their job.
– At first fit, decide with your fitter on everything you feel needs to be done on your dress so that by the second fit, it should all be perfect for you. It is imperative you hold your weight between first and second fit. Third fits are available, but the less your dress is handled, the more pristine it will remain and the fewer additional costs you will incur.
– It’s important to arrive on time for your fittings. Unfortunately we cannot keep the next bride waiting, so it will be your appointment that is cut short.
– Smile, you are a lucky girl wearing the most beautiful dress in the world!
