FAQs: Sustainability Julita carefully source fabrics from suppliers and mills who support ethical practises. This includes sustainable certified Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) approved fabrics, vegan plant based and recycled fabrics.
The option of a sustainable non-plastic alternative sequin fabric is not yet available, however Julita closely follows market leaders working to develop biodegradable sequin options. Until then a free consultation is offered, where sequin gowns can be restyled to be worn again, beyond the ceremony.
Customer reviews "Having worked in the wedding industry for over 10 years, I've been lucky enough to work with lots of bridal designers but Jo is truly something else. Her vision is incredible, she understands exactly what you want and works tirelessly to achieve it.
The dress Jo created for me was out-of-this world. It was a show stopping gown that fitted my brief to perfection and truly outdid all of my expectations. Working with Jo was an absolute pleasure, she's fun, intelligent, creative, stylish, supportive and really flexible - exactly the kind of girl you want making the dress of your dreams. She's also incredibly modest and so I'll shout from the rooftops on her behalf - Jo is an amazingly talented designer, chose her to design your wedding dress and you'll be blown away!” Fern, Editor at Rock My Wedding
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...Weddings are characterised by seeming overstatement; 'best day ever,' best man and on and on. However, not only can I now say that my wedding was my very 'best day ever,' I can also state, categorically, that having my top and cape designed by Jo was one of the best experiences of my life. From the minute we met to discuss possibilities and design ideas I knew that Jo understood my taste and style and would be able to transform my vague, sometimes contradictory, ideas into a beautiful reality and, importantly, that I would enjoy her company through that realisation. What I didn't know was how much more she would bring. Jo is so creative and talented, her intuitive understanding of my ideas alongside her intimate knowledge of fabric and design meant that as the garments moved from imagination into fabric she was able to suggest little touches, divine little details, that made my outfit not only beautiful to look at but heaven to wear." Esther
"I never thought I would get my wedding dress made. I am hopeless at making decisions and second-guess every choice I make. I definitely could not have done it without Jo. She made the whole experience easy from start to finish. Not only is she an amazing designer with impeccable attention to detail and exquisite taste, she also acted as a source of support throughout the decision making process. She knew when to let me take the lead and when to step in to make sure I didn't make the wrong decision (and she was always right!).
The end result was the most beautiful dress that I loved more than anything. It was just how I pictured it. It was so unique and the lace detail Jo put on the back was just gorgeous. The dress got so many compliments and Jo deserved every one of them.
As a designer, she goes over every detail and does not stop until it looks perfect. There are not enough words to describe how brilliant she is. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a bespoke wedding dress that's made with love and care. To top it off, you also have a great experience and a brand new friend at the end of it." Samantha
