You may commission one of The Wicked Lady's creations here - parasols, accessories or extravagant complete costumes. The Wicked Lady also appears at Whitby Gothic Weekend and other selected events throughout the year. The Wicked Lady takes on only a select few dress commissions a year as she only works with very special clients and contact is strictly through your guide, The Wicked Apprentice - Emma Simcock-Tooth to you. The creation of a Wicked dress or costume is a very intense one to one process between Olivia and yourself, but an audience with Olivia is only by very special arrangement. Please note, the dresses on this website are purely intended as a taster of what The Wicked Lady can do. Each dress is a unique creation not a reproduction. Please feel free to email The Wicked Apprentice, with any queries or requests etc. This is the gateway to a truly magical experience... |

Photographs from Emma and Owen Tooth's wedding day featuring Wicked dresses and of course, the Wicked Lady herself...
