I’ve done a fair bit of blues and swing dancing in my time, and Strictly is always a TV highlight for me, so imagine my joy at the news that dance superstar and all-round girl-powerhouse Oti Mabuse wore Eliza Jane Howell on BBC primetime show The Greatest Dancer!

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this woman any more… (Check out Oti’s amazing TikTok reveal, too.)

Breaking with wedding dress colour convention

And it’s not just Oti who can wear a bespoke Eliza Jane Howell dress.

Most of our in-store wedding dress collections are ivory, nude or metallic tones, but if you’re looking for the ancient tradition of wearing red, or looking to be your own something blue, then Eliza Jane Howell can adapt their beaded bridalwear designs to your colour palette. It’s one of the things I love about working so closely with brides and designers.

Here’s one recent example of a bespoke Eliza Jane Howell gown we created with a bride who wanted a touch more arm coverage on the classic Zenith dress. Check out the sketch-work brilliance of Gill Harvey, the woman behind the Eliza Jane Howell brand ❤️:
