Designer Ball Gowns

" I love my dress. It was exactly what I had imagined, Ailsa took my description and made the perfect dress for me. From our first meeting to my fittings she was helpful and willing to adapt the dress to my exact wishes, and in the end I got a beautiful gown for my Graduation Ball and felt amazing on the night as it fitted and suited me perfectly. I will definitely be in touch when I need another gorgeous outfit for a special occasion. Thank you Ailsa!"

Whether you are interested in gowns, skirts or dresses or jackets, AJR Designs can cater for your needs. Seen something in a magazine you like? Need something a little bit special without the fear that someone else may be wearing the same thing - AJR Designs can offer you that very outfit. Below are some samples of previous designs....

The blue ball gown below was designed and made for a Charity Ball in Glasgow in May 2005. The client asked for a low back and a split up the leg (which unfortunately cannot be seen in these photographs). The ball gown wraps around her neck and connects at the front discretely. The neckline has diamante detail to match her jewellery. This ball gown is made from Silk Dupion and has a side zip for access. In the original design we also had a sheer sleeve on one side of the dress, this was later discarded during the design process.

"Ailsa has now designed and made me two outfits, a dress and a corset, I found the service that she offered to be most professional with a minimum of fuss for me. I have worn both oufits and they were very much admired by all. I wish Ailsa the best of luck with her business"

The red ball gown below was a Graduation Ball gown It is made up of a corset and fitted skirt with puddle train. The train was able to be buttoned up for dancing purposes and the lace up corset is brilliant if you are going to be eating, or dancing because it is adjustable. The front has some pearl detail. The skirt and corset are made from Satin-backed Dupion.
