Absolutely amazing service, so incredibly pleased with the results of my request. Utter pleasure communicating, sorting out the logistics and very understanding. Super friendly dress fitting and was very accommodating. Highly recommended anyone seeking that special costume or outfit that you've always dreamed of but could never find on the rack. Will hopefully be a customer again in the future!
Ceri is absolutely the best! Would definitely recommend. Her work is so beautiful and detailed. Customer service is impeccable! I had ideas and budget in mind that clashed a bit. Ceri is very honest, polite and was able to find a way for me to have my designs within my budget. I was able to get my blouse, trousers, cloak pin and two jackets! Ceri is also very consistent with communication. If I had a problem she was quick to reply and have a solution. I've added a few photos of the more detailed pieces she did for me.
Velveteena Leigh costumes is the ultimate professional. Moreover, her handmade dresses are sized beautifully. She goes above and beyond searching for the perfect materials and does not rest until she creates a work of art. As someone who has body issues, the dress is so complimentary to my shape and gives me confidence. It is stunning work. It is one of my favourite outfits! I will definitely be a returning customer! I can not recommend her enough! Her talents know no bounds!

You are so kind, thank you. It was our pleasure to make everything work for you. When you feel good in one of our handmade costumes it makes us feel good too. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
I had a wonderful experience with Velveteena Leigh from start to finish after quite out of the blue deciding I wanted to commission a dress and getting a solid recommendation to use Ceri from a friend.
My historical/fantasy Disney commission had quite specific requirements based on my body type and obsession with accurate detail, and I felt very assured during the whole process that my input and situation was valued and taken on board, but still offered solutions to areas where I had zero expertise and where compromise was required for practical/budgetary reasons.
I felt involved with every aspect from initial request, to picking materials, to finalising the concept design and informing on final trim details. Similarly I always felt up to date about the timeline, with frequent progress photos and messages.
The dress itself is of course beautiful! and expertly finished with little details which really elevate it beyond the animated version while staying very accurate in tone and silhouette to the original. It fitted wonderfully and feels amazing to wear and swoosh around like a princess! As my first entirely custom tailored outfit I shall treasure it for years to come and find an excuse to wear it whenever I need to feel pretty :)
Ceri's work is outstanding, I have been wanting to upgrade my cloak for a while now and Ceri puts in the time and effort to research the fabrics that closely resemble the costume, and delivers with the high expectations. I always recommend her to anyone interested in wanting a high quality costume that is custom made.
I commissioned from Velveteena Leigh a coat for my cosplay and they more than exceeded expectations. Not only were they a joy to work with, helping me work with my budget, helping to bring my design to life, showing alot of passion, knowledge and care with the sorce material, but showcased a such a high level of skill, that my coat for my cosplay fit like a glove, perfectly made to my design and size and perfectly pulled my cosplay together. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them so much, that I soon after sort out their expertise again for another design project. I could not recommend them enough

You are so kind, it was our pleasure to make the perfect coat for the perfect client. You look great in it.
Ceri was an absolute gem to work with, plus so kind with helping a Uni Student pay without worry! I have had such a lovely cosplay journey with her, and can wholeheartedly recommend her services! I can’t wait to wear my cosplay proudly this May!

Thank you for the kind review! You were a pleasure to work with, and I will keep an eye out for you and say hi in May 😊
It was my first time commissioning Ceri and they were absolutely wonderful! They were very patient with answering all my questions and organised a mood board with all the materials that may have suited the mood/theme I was looking for. I would really recommend them to commission any dream cosplays you may have! Such a delight to work with :)

Aw thank yo so much Jasmine. It was great working with you and thank you so much for the recommendation.
Ordered a dress with rather unusual measurements and got exactly what I wanted.
Great communication and the price is definitely worth it.
Already ordered a second dress!

Thank you for your glowing testimonial and we are already looking forward to completing your next piece.
I have worked With Ceri many times. She has created 2 amazing bespoke outfits perfectly tailored for me. One was an amazing Saber Cosplay and the other an Elsa inspired evening gown.
I have already requested a 3rd outfit when she has the time :)
She is friendly and professional and willing to listen and offer ideas to improve the design you want.
Her Lingerie is also amazing
I Love wearing the Harley Quinn bralette and harem pants.

Great to hear from you and you look just fantastic in these outfits. Thank you for your glowing testimonial. Would love to see some photos when you get a chance.
Ceri is a phenomenal designer. Her creativity knows no bounds, as is evident in her pieces. She is clearly passionate and works incredibly hard to make what she does and the end results do not disappoint. She can create pieces completely unique to you, your style and colour preferences, so you’ll never have the same pieces as someone else. I couldn’t recommend Ceri enough

Wow! What a fabulous review. Thank you so much for recommending Ceri and Velveteena Leigh so highly.
These handmade pieces are exquisite! I own a few outfits now and really love how confident they make my curvy shape feel. The hearts (Carmen) bodysuit is just incredible and so pretty on. The robes are incredible too.

Thank you so much for your kind words, glad you are enjoying the pieces made just for you. Obviously I do not have favourites, but secretly I agree that the Carmen bodysuit is divine.
I have ordered twice from this company and I love both sets I got. The delivery has been very quick and the customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend buying from her.

Thank you so much for your lovely kind words and great to hear it is comfortable and highlighting the right areas for you.
As a small business owner myself I really enjoy using other small business. Not only are the pieces so unique, sexy and sensual, but they are so well made and you can’t find anything like it anywhere. The owner of this amazing brand is so friendly and is so open to ideas and also her social pages shows a diversity of different people which is extremely refreshing.
