Thank you so much for all your efforts towards my eldest daughter’s wedding in July 2022.

After various initial disappointing visits to bridal shops, we were delighted with the beautiful dress you made for her based on our few design ideas.


Also my ‘Mother of the Bride’ outfit, which from only a few initial thoughts  was developed along the way and which you executed beautifully.

We were very grateful that you were also willing to alter both the off the peg bridesmaid and flower girl dresses, to fit better and look nicer.


You were most kind, helpful and supportive throughout: from choosing the fabrics to the generosity of your time and patience with the numerous fittings.

This was the year of MeToo movement. At first I wanted to go with red colour, it took my breath away when I saw one of the fabrics Ieva had picked up from Paris. Navy blue floral lace with lilac underlay.

Build up of Royal Wedding 2018. Jet leg and noisy hotel with many media companies trying to get the best angle of Windsor Castle. TV personality Giuliana Rancic was already overwhelmed, I came to rescue the dress and made small alterations for it to fit perfect when seated in front of camera.

I felt confident and people came up to me to compliment the outfit and of course the achievement. Life can be unpredictable, Ieva helped prepare for it all. now that my son is getting married I will only go to Ieva Poriete to design my outfit.

Juli and her husband used to come up to Windsor for a weekend away. Main task was the dress fitting. We would often have video-calls to check up on detail and progress of the dress. We designed a jacket to go with the dress, but it turned out to be the hottest summer on record.

Juli

My friend and I wondered into Ievas studio long before my daughters wedding. We had a very nice chat and my friend asked if she can make me feel beautiful for the special ocassion. with confidence Ieva said yes , so I returned closer to the time to have an outfit made.

Joan

I love this dress, but for the show I needed to make sure it stays in place and hugs the figure in all the right places. Ieva did it all there and then while having a pleasant conversation with me.

Denise Pearson

Delicate but bold addition to my evening outfit. Ieva made an organza cape with black velvet rim to compliment my choice of the dress for the evening.

Kates mom is just over 90 now. Both of them visited my studio about 5 years ago. It only took a moment and Anne said, although I like what Kate gets me, I prefere to make my own decisions. Since then we have made three trousersuits and about 5 shirts.

Finishing touch on the collar was added after discussing what jewellery will go with the outfit. We came to conclusion of delicaate beading to compliment any choice of pendant.
