All corsets and gowns are completely designed and  made to order individually for each client, all clients deal   exclusively with the designer, Janice, from the initial   consultation, fittings and finishes, dealing with you  personally, all the way.

All about you...The gowns collection and Real brides...

The best Part of my job at Uptight, is making real brides gowns!


  I love to make things which are very personal to you, so I am very happy to incorporate any personal touches, into the embroidery, or actual pieces like fabric, jewellery, etc in to your design. During this meeting, the consultation, which is free, I allocate 2-4 hours to you, in the private showroom, where you can relax, and not feel under any pressure, its an informal chat. 


You get to come meet me in person, Janice-Uptight, where I will guide you through the showroom, try on the samples, look at all the fabrics etc, you can share all your ideas and needs, I will then do a hand drawn design based on this, followed by a written quote. This meeting and quote are non obligatory, there is no hard sell.

 If you are happy with the design and the price, we both sign a contract, a 50% deposit secures your making space, and off we go. If you wish to come back again before this commitment, that’s fine too, I want to get it right, and I want you to be happy.

All gowns are made to measure, by me, there is no sizing or numbers, just a beautiful gown, made to fit you, just as you are, allowing you to feel your very best self! 



The Gowns Collection...

 The Showroom in Bedfordshire, holds the collection of Uptight Designs, these are all made as  Sample gowns. Held in the Uptight Showroom in Bedfordshire, as an example of what can be made  in Uptights style, a starting point as it were,  all ready for viewing and trying on in person during consultations, where you can come and view the sample gowns, try them on, view the wide range of fabric options, and look through the past real bride portfolios too. These designs can be made exactly as they are, or as a starting point of your own personal design.

 

The Uptight Models...


     'All Uptight models, are my friends,  amazing , strong women who I've been blessed enough to meet along the way. The re launch of Uptight has been supported very much by all of these strong women. We have the much known original  models Bex and Victoria, who always rock the dresses and have been for over a decade, are  joined by the most recent Clare, Jude and Karen, a bunch of amazing ladies who I've met at the gym over the past few years on my own journey. Everyone's I've met, have their own painful yet beautiful story to tell, their realness to me is is their strength and their beauty that exudes beyond dresses and photographs. I have been lucky enough to have had the chance to photograph so many women, as Uptight, in a way I hope captures their light, their happiness, their joy, their strength, brought to the  surface by a Uptight frock. None are ' real' models, by way of age, size, height, this is a stance I have always taken, which saw me rejected from fashion collage and into theatre costume at Liverpool city college, 25 years ago. As I refused to draw and design for the standard model type, it never felt real or what people wanted to see, or identify with. The worlds constant obsession with youth and  thinness feels like the biggest source of unhappiness for women, when strength of spirit, strength of character, resilience, and love in a world give so much more joy and fullness to life. The Uptight models, my dear, beautiful in every way friends, each bride, customer I've worked with. Thank you. Thank you for your patience,  your faith, your encouragement,  for your belief and your trust. I hope you enjoy the new collections.  Janice-Uptight Clothing xx
