I honestly can’t recommend Lorraine enough! She came to The Malone Hotel the evening before our wedding to steam all of our outfits, and it was genuinely one of the best things I booked. I hadn’t even realised a service like this existed until I came across Lorraine. It saved me from spending the night before my wedding playing Cinderella and steaming everyone’s dresses myself! Lorraine took care of my wedding dress, four bridesmaid dresses, the groom’s suit and even my dad’s shirt. Everything looked absolutely stunning and was ready to go for the morning. Lorraine herself was just lovely. She immediately put me at ease, was so friendly and just one of those people you’re really happy to have around the night before your wedding. While she was there, my sister actually said, “How amazing would Lorraine be on the day of a wedding?” That’s when I told her that she DOES offer a dressing service on the morning of your wedding, I had already tried to book her for ours, but unfortunately she was fully booked! My sister described the whole thing as a bit like a “rent-a-mummy” service, which honestly sums it up perfectly. Someone who comes in, takes over, sorts everything out and gives you one less thing to worry about. Such a brilliant service and worth every penny. If you’re getting married, book Lorraine, and if you want her there on the morning for the dressing service too, book her early! I can completely understand why she gets booked up.

Lorraine was nothing less than an absolute godsend on my wedding morning. She was actually a fairly last minute addition, as I suddenly realised I was going to need someone there to steam everyone’s outfits, but I genuinely cannot imagine the morning without her now! From the moment she arrived, she immediately felt like one of the family. She was so warm, friendly and calming, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She helped people get ready, found solutions whenever little things cropped up, worked brilliantly with all of the other vendors in the house and just quietly took a huge amount of pressure off me without me even having to think about it. Another one of my vendors actually commented afterwards that it was one of the calmest wedding mornings she had ever worked on, and I attribute that in no small part to Lorraine! Having her there meant I could actually relax, enjoy getting ready and be present rather than worrying about outfits, steaming or who needed help with what. So if you’re planning your wedding and wondering whether you really need someone there to steam outfits, help everyone get dressed and generally be an extra pair of very capable hands on the morning … the answer is **YES. YOU NEED LORRAINE!** I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Lorraine, for being such a wonderful part of our morning. ❤️

Where do we start with our Lorraine. From the get go when I booked Lorraine she was a ray of sunshine. From our first appointment in her home she made me feel confident, listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what needed doing to my dress. Unfortunately during my time with Lorraine I had to go for urgent breast surgery and she was able to rearrange my appointments with her and made sure I was well looked after. When I went to see Lorraine with my bandages on she made sure I was okay throughout and reassured me if anything was uncomfortable I could come back another time. Lorraine made me feel like an absolute queen everytime i had my dress on. When Lorraine told me about her morning dressing service I knew i had to book. What an amazing thing to have to take the stress out of steaming dresses and having that help throughout the morning was just what we needed. Not to mention we had the best craic!!! Lorraine made sure my dress was sitting perfect for first reveals and photos with my wedding car before we left to go to the venue. Everyone needs a woman like Lorraine. Everytime we were with lorraine, we just laughed, belly laughed at that. We will miss Lorraine so much but what an amazing thing to know we had her with her during my wedding journey. She helped also with my mummys dress and two bridesmaids which they were so impressed with. Lots of Love Rachel, Mummy Heather and Love Island Laura xxx

She makes sure everyone looks & feels good, nothing is a hassle. If you’re getting married and want someone you can completely trust I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She is amazing ❤️👰♀️✨

There are no words to describe how amazing Lorraine is at her job and also as a person. From the first appointment, she made us feel right at ease. Nothing was ever a bother to her and many appointments turned into girly chats about life! She went above and beyond for me, and even stitched writing into my veil for me – it was so special! She had so much care and time for us. Lorraine is worth her weight in gold and I cannot recommend her more. After attending some seamstress appointments, we then booked Lorraine to come and steam all our dresses and suits the day before the wedding. She is just a fabulous person and amazing at her job. She was the first thing I booked and the best 🩷

Lorraine…. I don’t even know where to begin to describe our experience with you….there’s not enough words to do it justice! You were absolutely phenomenal at your job and had all our dresses looking absolutely amazing on us! You are so insanely talented! We all genuinely looked forward to each fitting with you and the laughs we knew we would have with you. No job was ever too big or too much hassle for you. You are the nicest person and instantly made us all feel so comfortable at our fittings. We all miss our fittings already! It was the best decision we made to have you with us on our wedding morning….. you are an absolute angel and breath of fresh hair to help calm any nerves and have us looking perfect for going up the aisle. You’ll forever be in our gang now ❤️ Rebecca and Steph

Lorraine is an absolute gem and someone ever bride needs on their wedding morning. You are an amazing woman who would brighten up any room and thats what you did with us. My family and I have spoke nothing but amazing things about you from last Thursday. Your a little ray of sunshine that brightened up our morning and kept us all chilled and laughing throughout the morning. My family and bridesmaids have said to me everyone needs Lorraine with them on their wedding day as you made ours. Love Danielle

Where do o start, Lorraine is not only Amazing at her job but also amazing as a human being. I have never met someone so kind caring and calm as she was to me and my Bridal party. Lorraine done my alterations and by morning dressing service and nothing was ever too much. Please please book Lorraine if you thinking of doing this. I would have never been able to get ready on the morning without her. Such a beautiful person. I can never thank you enough Lorraine. Love Maria

Lorraine provided her dressing service on the morning of our wedding at the Clandeboye in April. It was the best money we spent, as she took all the stress away—steaming our dresses, helping us get ready, sorting the men’s buttonholes, and offering great advice throughout the morning. I would highly recommend having Lorraine with you on the morning of your wedding.

What can I say about Lorraine, she is such a beautiful human with so much care, love and enjoyment for her job. From my alterations right through to walking down the aisle Lorraine was kind, professional and a real calming and guiding source. Her knowledge ks second to none and was very willing to help me with all my questions even the silly ones. Helping me get ready on the morning of my wedding we had such a laugh which kept me calm. She has Attention to detail at every step, making sure I had everything and brings so.much joy and happiness with her. I would highly recommend having Lorraine part for your bridal journey.

Couldn’t rate Lorraine highly enough! From the moment I met her she put me straight at ease with her friendly and welcoming personality and at each subsequent appointment she was full of positivity, calming, a listening ear at times when I was feeling stressed and just an overall lovely lovely person. Her work on the dress was faultless, she had great communication and she was very easy to pay. On the day of the wedding her daughter came to help me get into my dress and Maxine, like her mum, was just a ray of sunshine. Anyone booking Lorraine has hit gold x

I booked Lorraine as my seamstress for my wedding on April 6th 2026 and I am so glad I did! From my first fitting appointment I felt so at ease with Lorraine, she has an infectious personality and was so warm and welcome to me and my mum. Her levels of expertise are second to none, and within my first appointment she could tell me exactly what alterations I needed and roughly how much this would cost – something I really appreciated a few months out from the big day! Lorraine became someone I could confide in before the wedding, and even helped my mum find her Mother of the Bride outfit by recommending places to shop. Lorraine’s professionalism and customer service cannot be faulted, and I can guarantee if you are to book Lorraine as your dressing service the morning of your wedding, you will be put at ease and not worry about a thing. Thank you so much Lorraine!

I booked Lorraine to alter my wedding dress. As soon as i walked in on my first appointment, i was made to feel welcome and at ease. Lorraine has such a lovely, welcoming personality. She gave my the most honest advice when it came to what i needed & did not need when it came to my dress and trying to help me save money, which i appreciate her so much for. I wanted a split in my dress, which wasn’t recommended in that particular dress. However, Lorraine went ahead with her magic hands and put a split in it. It turned out amazing, it made the dress my own. I can’t thank her enough for her services & also the little chats we had during my appointments when i had received some heartbreaking family news. I am so glad this was the lady who perfected the most important dress i will and have ever worn. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Lorraine! X

Lorraine 🤍 Your amazing help on the morning of my wedding meant more than I can put into words. You completely took the stress out of everything. From helping me, the bridesmaids and my mum get dressed, to making sure every little detail was perfect — you were just incredible. My mum even said we would have been so much more stressed if you hadn’t been there — and I completely agree! I honestly can’t thank you enough. I felt so calm, chilled and relaxed all morning, and that was all because of you. Your skills with the dresses (and the steaming!) were amazing. Thank you so, so much 🤍✨

Can’t recommend Lorianne enough! Really happy with the work she done on my dress 😍 she made me feel so comfortable and was very reassuring at every fitting! She’s a very friendly and helpful person from the first fitting right until after the wedding. I also booked Lorianne for the morning of my wedding to get everything prepped and get myself dressed and I definitely couldn’t have done the wedding morning without her! I highly recommend Lorianne!! Thank you again for everything. Hollie Wilkinson ❤️ xx

When I picked my dress the style was studio levana, the girls from the dress shop recommended Lorraine to me and I’m so thankful they did! From the first dress fitting Lorraine made me feel so confident & comfortable which is all a bride wants! I ended up booking Lorraine to come the morning of the wedding to dress me and she ended up dressing anyone who needed a hand! Perfect bows, steaming and just being there to help with anything she could! I was so grateful for this as there’s sooo much going on the morning of the wedding! Lorraine is so easy to communicate with and was bang on time! Highly recommended, thank you Lorraine your a star ⭐ ❤️ x

I couldn’t be happier with the work Lorraine done for me. The stitching and finish are flawless, and you can tell real care and skill go into every piece. Friendly, professional, and you’ll have the best laugh too! I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending to everyone I know! The best about highly recommend!!!

Since getting married anytime someone tells me that they’re engaged the first thing I recommend is Lorraine. Having the stress of keeping the dresses looking nice taken off my shoulders on the wedding day was genuinely priceless. Lorraine was so attentive in looking after myself and bridesmaids as well as mother of the bride and also steaming my dad’s shirt on the morning of the wedding too! There was no detail left out. My wedding dress was also corseted with a mountain of pearl buttons in the back. Knowing that she knew how to tie my dress and ensure that it looked just as beautiful as the day I picked was again a huge weight off my shoulders. With our alterations Lorraine genuinely made magic happen as well. From picking my bridesmaid dresses to my wedding day one of my bridesmaids lost a significant amount of weight. Lorraine was able to take 14 inches from the waist of my bridesmaid’s dress while also keeping the style of the dress intact. Without her abundance of experience and knowledge we would’ve had to buy a new dress! Lorraine had myself and all my bridesmaids feel so at ease on my big day and I’ll always sing her praises to anyone that’ll listen! Lots of Love, Hannah Menabney xx 🤍

Lorraine was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. She listened to every one of my concerns during the fittings and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. We also booked her wedding day dressing service, and I’m so glad we did!! She arrived calm and prepared, steamed all the dresses, and helped my mum and bridesmaids get ready. She even helped calm my nerves and got me dressed with such care. On top of all that, she kept us laughing, it was truly a blessing to have her there on the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and calming presence on their big day. She made such a difference to my wedding morning. Debra

Where do I start, I was in 2 minds about getting someone to my house the morning of my wedding to dress us, I thought it should all go as plan and it’s only a matter of putting dresses on, I was so wrong!! Lorraine was the woman for the job, she was amazing from start to finish. She kept me informed in the messages leading up about what she does that morning and she went above and beyond her job. She made our morning so calm and took the pressure of with getting everyone dressed and dresses sitting right. She even got my brothers suits steamed and ready to go!! Lorraine is a complete gem and loves the craic! If you want someone who is professional, efficient and great craic Lorraine is your woman. I am so happy I booked Lorraine for the morning of my wedding. This is needed for every bride the morning of your wedding. Lots of love, Megan McFee xxx

Lorraine was absolutely amazing at getting us all dressed. It was something that I really didn’t consider when planning the wedding and Lorraine was actually booked when I had asked originally. I really couldnt of imagined anyone else getting myself and the girls ready. Luckily, she was able to swop things around and I was absolutely relieved!! With the amount of chaos going on, Lorraine took care of everything in the background and got everyone dressed individually!! Lorraine even remembered to bring my evening dress to the chapel as we forgot it and locked up our house. Honestly, one of the main things you should prioritise on your wedding morning is a getting ready service and no better lady for the job than Lorraine!! Thank you again Lorraine 😘♥️

Lorraine is first class. Honestly ladies please don’t have your big day without her. She really is the most genuine talented and beautiful person she will calm the gitters and make sure that you are and your day is all you’ve dreamed off and more.xx

I can’t thank Lorraine enough for everything she did for our wedding. Not only did she create my wedding dress so beautifully, alter all of the bridesmaid dresses and help with some late night melt downs, but she was also there on the morning of the wedding to steam all of the dresses to absolute perfection. Having her there made the entire morning completely stress-free — I knew everything was in the safest hands. Lorraine is such a personable, warm, and genuinely kind presence. She brought a calm, reassuring energy that made a huge difference on the day, and nothing was too much trouble. If you are even thinking about booking Lorraine’s wedding dressing service, do it — it was one of the best decisions we made and truly elevated the whole wedding morning experience ❤️❤️

I am so glad I picked Lorraine as my seamstress as I’m not sure anybody else would’ve gotten my vision quite like her. I had lots of appliqués I wanted to go onto my dress but unfortunately the dress I picked just didn’t work for it but Lorraine knew how to make it work. She listened to my tantrums and made sure everything was perfect, knowing exactly what I wanted even when I didn’t

Lorraine altered my wedding dress and my bridesmaids and from the moment we all met her we were just out at ease. Not only is Lorraine absolotely amazing at her job but she is so kind and it was a pleasure to have her do the alterations. Would recommend Lorraine to everyone and anyone!!

Lorraine is such a warm and caring person who instantly puts you at ease. She genuinely cares about your wedding, not just how you will look, but how you will feel on the day. She reassured me every step of the way, ensured the dresses fit perfectly, and then steamed them beautifully. On the wedding day, everything was ready for us, we simply stepped into the dresses with ease. It felt effortless, almost like magic.

Lorraine altered my wedding dress to perfection. My wedding dress fit me like a glove on my wedding day. Lorraine is so professional whilst also being the most loveliest person at the same time! Always left my appointments feeling confident and never had to worry it was in safe hands. Being short I needed a lot took off my dress length wise but this was never a problem and was done to absolute perfection! 🤍

Lorraine was absolutely amazing when doing my Wedding Dress alterations. She made my vision come to life and made me feel so comfortable. On the day I used her dressing service which totally took the stress out of the morning for me. Couldn’t recommend Lorraine enough not only as a dress maker but as a friend – which every bride needs during the stress of planning a Wedding. Thank you Lorraine.
