Who Are we

What We do, We do With Passion​

“My dream was always to have a studio space where I could offer a bespoke alteration and dressmaking service. Offering Brides and their Bridal party a place to really enjoy this part of their wedding planning. To feel confident and at ease during their fittings, while watching their dress become the vision they have always dreamt of”

Through hard work and many many Happy Brides Kelly Black Design is now a sought-after service for Brides to be, one of few in Northern Ireland to offer such a bespoke service.  Kelly was awarded 2nd Place in the BEST DRESSMAKER category of “Getting Married in NI Awards 2018”,  just a short 2 years after forming Kelly Black Design.

What People Are Saying

Mary Taylor April 2021

“I highly recommend Kelly as she did such an amazing job turning up my wedding dress. It was an intricate job as the dress was completely embellished with beads and crystals and the result was perfect.”

Liza Davidson June 2021

“I honestly could not recommend Kelly enough. My dress had sleeves on it which I wanted removed and Kelly made me feel at ease the whole time, could not believe the transformation. Her attention to detail is second to none”

Rachel Wharry August 2021

“Kelly is absolutely fantastic! Kelly made me feel sooo at ease. From taking in, taking out, taking up, to adding on, Kelly worked her magic on mine and my bridesmaids dresses. Her talent allowed me to feel amazing on my wedding day! Highly recommend!”
