Working with Kathryn Bass to create my dream wedding dress was a thoroughly wonderful experience from start to finish! My (then) Fiance (now Husband) and I arrived with some very specific ideas on lace, design, veil etc – and Kathryn literally turned all of these ideas and all of our requests into the most beautiful reality! From the inception of the design to the sourcing of a ‘difficult to find’ lace, to the intricate stitching and magnificent structure of my made to measure low-back dress – Kathryn was there for us 100%. Each of the fittings and each of the consultations were wonderful experiences! I never felt stressed or worried, in fact, I felt pampered, listened to and really really cared for. Kathryn is professional and courteous to the core, and her skills as a dress maker are second to none! She is a breath of fresh air, an extraordinary talent and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would recommend Kathryn Bass & Pure Something Clothing to all Brides who dream of wearing ‘their’ one of a kind dress on their big day. Thank you so much Kathryn!

I was happy, and relieved, to find Pure Something after several shopping trips left me worried that I would never find my wedding dress. I was looking for something simple and elegant on a budget and you delivered. I was not only happy with the finished product but the whole process was fun and relaxed. Thank you.

After looking in a few bridal salons I knew that it would be difficult to find a wedding dress that I would fall in love with. I was recommended by a friend to see Kathryn at Pure Something and it was exactly what I needed. They were so creative, talented and wonderfully gracious throughout the entire design process. I had several fittings to ensure that I was getting the dress that I have always dreamed of, and I did! I loved my dress and it was even more beautiful than I initially imagined. I fully recommend Pure Something. You will end up with a gorgeous one of a kind dress that is beyond your expectations.

When I first met Kathryn and Jessica, I had been to a few bridal boutiques and had been left feeling very discouraged.

Seeing pure(something)’s dresses made me so happy! They were beautiful, very unique and Kathryn and Jessica made me feel so beautiful at the first meeting I couldn’t see myself getting a dress anywhere else.

I had the idea of the top of one dress and the bottom of another dress. I told them that I had been watching a lot of “Deadwood” and wanted the dress to mimic the bustle of one of the “soiled doves” from the show. They didn’t even blink. Kathryn said, “okay but in what colour?”. I was in love.

The back of the dress became known as the “oyster bits” for the ruffles reminded me of the frills of an oyster. Again, neither of the girls even blanched when described my dress using food associations.

The fittings were awesome, we laughed so much! The moment I had the final dress on it was so amazing. The tiniest details filled every part of me with happiness. The lace on the underskirt, now that’s attention to detail!!

Everyone complimented my dress. Everyone. Complete strangers who passed by while we were waiting kept asking me where I got it. I’ve been telling everyone to go to pure(something). It was honestly the easiest part of the whole wedding preparation. Pure(something) took so much pressure off of me, I love these girls!!

Having my wedding dress made by Pure Something Co. was a wonderful experience. They truly listened to my ideas and offered suggestions to help create the most important and stunning dress I would ever wear. I love that the dress was made piece by piece to fit my body; I have never received so many compliments! I have and will continue to recommend Pure Something to all the brides to be in my life. Wonderful people who have amazing talent!
