Flossy & Dossy

Flossy & Dossy is an independent bridal designer working from a studio at Harmony Row in Glasgow. Every wedding dress is designed and made in that studio, one at a time, for the person who will wear it. Alongside full gowns, the studio makes bespoke bridal accessories such as lace tops, capes, scarves and sleeves.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Nothing here starts from a sample rail. You begin with a conversation about what you want to wear, and the design grows from there. That makes Flossy & Dossy a strong choice if off-the-peg bridalwear has never felt right, if two of you want looks that work together, or if you want a single statement piece to wear over something you already own.

What they offer

• Bespoke wedding dresses, designed and made by hand in Glasgow
• Sketches and a toile, a practice version of the dress, before the final fabric is cut
• Help choosing fabrics
• A series of fittings as the dress comes together
• Bespoke lace tops, capes, scarves and sleeves, sold on their own or matched to a dress
• Gift cards

How they work

You book a consultation through the website to talk through ideas, budget and timings. The designer then sketches your dress and makes a toile so you can check shape and fit before the real fabric is used. Fittings follow until the dress is finished. Because everything is made to order, it makes sense to get in touch well ahead of your date, especially for a full gown.

Where they cover

The studio is in the south-west of Glasgow, close to the Clyde, and fittings take place there. It is a practical choice for couples anywhere within reach of the city who can visit for several appointments.
