The wedding dress is absolutely stunning, even more beautiful than I imagined! Every detail was made exactly as I wished, and the craftsmanship is wonderful. It arrived lovingly packaged and even earlier than expected. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend it!

The package arrived already opened and the packing overall was very unprofessional. It looked like something you'd see from an ultrafast fashion brand. I think I got scammed.

After my experience with this company I felt other brides should be aware of what happened to me.

After a botched dress design for my wedding 10 years ago I searched extensively for a UK or nearby designed and made dress for my 10th anniversary vow renewal. I thought CF would be perfect, beautiful designs and a small company that cares about their clients. My initial interaction with the company was satisfactory. I placed an order for some other pieces to sus out their service and quality which arrived promtply and were well made. I have had issues with the fabric on the plaid skirt I purchased stretching and I've had to have it shortened and altered since.

It was when these arrived I discovered the pieces are made in India, only designed in Ireland. This is visible on their website but it's fairly understated, you have to search for it. It is quite misleading and easy to believe it is Irish production.

For my custom designed wedding dress, almost every adjustment I requested wasn't able to be done. So in the end I went with some very simple adjustments in the sleeves and requested the skirt lining match the lace outer.

Upon receipt of the dress a month after prediction (ordered in April and delivered in early September) after I followed up in August (no unprompted update from them), the dress arrived faulty.

There was a large sliver of fabric sewn in to the left side of the dress hem to make up the length of the skirt. There was also clearly less fabric in the skirt than in the website images. I couldn't believe this, and even less so when the designer tried to tell me it was part of the design and in all the images (it is in none of the images). They said this had to be done as the width of the skirt fabric did not allow for my height (5'11"). This is a design issue rectified roughly. Additionally the lining did not extend the full skirt length as per my request, so it was extremely visible.

After some discussion where I had to really push the fact that it was faulty, an image of the dress I took inside out clearly showing the fault and uneven length of the skirt finally allowed me to get a refund. I had to wait until the dress landed back in Ireland (from Australia) for them to process the refund. They did pay for the return shipping which was appreciated. This all left me less than a month to find a dress for my event, while leaving me out of pocket and having to find alternative means to purchace something else as the money landed 2 weeks before my event.

I was disappointed that this experience took away the option of a custom made dress for me, and there was no effort made to rectify the problem.

I would leave plenty of time and tread carefully if you put your trust in this company for your wedding dress.

The customer service is straight to the point, friendly and knowledgeable. Very satisfied with how they've helped me along with both the right products for me, as well as their use.

The shopping experience went as it should with confirmation emails and follow ups, which is always reassuring when buying the first time.

Delivery was without hassle and the internal wrapping was attractively designed and considered.

The garment was for my partner - she loves it and it looks great on her. I thought the material was super and the quality seems good too at this early stage.

Overall, very pleased and will be buying some more items in the near future. Its clear that the business cares about their clothes and customers, and isn't just banging out widgets all day long. I like that!

I’ve been a customer at Celtic Fusion Designs for a few years now and I knew I was going to purchase my wedding dress from them someday. I just received my custom dress and it’s as beautiful as I imagined it would be! It fits perfectly and the material is so comfortable that I can wear the dress all day while hiking out in Iceland for my elopement. I also appreciate Regina’s suggestion to pair it with a shawl during the consultation. The whole ensemble looks amazing.

The quality of the clothes is amazing, the measurement tool really helped us out, so the fit was perfect. It also arrived quite quickly. Overal a great experience

I needed a dress for my wedding and found this business through a google search. I ordered a custom dress and the ladies were amazing. When the dress arrived in Australia I got to see it and it was absolutely stunning. Great communication and quick shipping. The dress was also of a high quality.

Incredible! I was on the hunt for a wedding dress that was simple, beautiful, and comfortable (nothing too fussy or flashy while still being special) and this hit all the marks! The craftsmanship was incredible and Regina was always responsive. The dress arrived quickly once shipped and the fit was so perfect/the quality reflecting such expertise, that I was able to slip it over my head and pull it down like a glove. Clearly, Regina can work magic with custom dresses. My final praises: The top is supportive; the fabric is beautiful, lightweight, and not see-through, and it looked so flattering on my curvy body type.

Purchased the Aine Dress.
What a beautiful, well-made dress! And, I love the flexibility of the corset & ties. Very nice quality fabric & flattering fit. I also appreciate what Celtic Fusion stands for - I feel empowered when I where their clothing - no matter where I might be, it's a reminder! You guys rock! Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this seller or the Blaithin wedding dress! I sent her one photo and my measurements, and she created my wedding dress entirely by hand. The lace was beautiful, the drape was flawless, and the delicate details were even better than I imagined. As a bride purchasing this gorgeous dress from another country, I was nervous about ordering online without the opportunity to meet in person, but Regina was so kind, responsive, and professional every step of the way. My dress fit perfectly the moment I put it on and made me feel confident, elegant, and absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Truly a dream come true!

I thought very carefully before purchasing my wedding dress from Celtic Fusion Design and I have been overall disappointed and let down by the experience. The dress itself is beautiful - I cannot fault the craftsmanship or the materials at all. I had struggled to find the kind of wedding dress I wanted and this was it and it was affordable for a made to measure garment.
Sadly the production took much longer than the 12 weeks specified on the website (I ordered on 18 March and received the dress on 30 July). When I asked about updates I always received a prompt and apologetic response, but I did not receive any updates on the delay in production without prompting.
A month away from my wedding, my mother-in-law kindly called to ask for updates while I was away for the weekend. While I then received the dress a few days later, I learned from this that production is outsourced. This was hugely disappointing to me, as the website gave me the impression that this was an entirely Ireland based company. Looking into the website again since, the information about the outsourced production is listed, but well hidden. As much as the website suggests this is all ethically done, it still feels deliberately misleading and had I known this from the start I would have thought twice about purchasing my wedding dress from them.
It makes me sad to write this review. I purchased another item before my wedding dress to check I was happy with the company and I also love that piece and I was excited to buy more from them in future as the designs are gorgeous. However, this was a stressful and disappointing experience. If the thought of outsourcing production doesn't bother you and you have time to allow for delays in production, then I would recommend, but these two things for me are immensely disappointing.

I recently purchased a few pieces from Celtic Fusion and was truly delighted. The quality of the natural materials is exceptional—soft, breathable, and beautifully made. Each item feels like it was crafted with care and intention. The service was just as wonderful—warm, efficient, and full of thoughtfulness. I’m deeply grateful for the whole experience and will definitely be returning.

I was looking for an outer garment to wear to a hand-fasting ceremony in October, and thankfully found their website - the hardest part was choosing! The dark green hooded cape with celtic knotwork won, and WOW there are so many ways to wear it .... so I want to wear it everywhere now, it is stunning. Everything about this company ie. product, customer service, packaging and delivery is pure quality.

I received a top and I'm very happy with it, really good quality, can't fault them at all

From the shipping time to the careful packaging to the incredible quality of the material and construction, I could not be more pleased with my order. The Epona vest dress is absolutely beautiful and a great value for the price.

Beautiful Designs, good quality, fast shipping

I found the perfect dress and jewelery for my Celtic-themed wedding at Celtic Fusion Design. The ability to customize the dress was a great bonus. Regina was professional and accommodating throughout the process.

We've bought shawls, gloves, brooches, a men's sidhe jacket and tunic top so far. We love the more elfin designs that are imaginitive yet not too larp-y for daily use.

The quality is high, with one caveat below. The sidhe coat has a grace and artistry to it rare for men's clothing in my exp. . It's nice to find something expressive & unconventional, yet comfortable & versatile. They're not winter clothing, but great for balmy evenings.

Drawbacks:
The tunic, comfy and well-tailored, faded a little despite limited use and (we thought) careful handwashing. Then it became unevenly bleached whilst air drying on a sunny day. It makes us doubt the durability of the dyes used. For the price, it's a bit of a shame they're not more colour-fast. Price and longevity of clothing is an important issue for most of us, though we really wish to support makers like CF.

If the rest of the men's range was a little more expressive in colour & design, we'd probably buy again, price depending, and just dry it indoors, away from sunlight, and spot wash only, like with wool, to try to keep the colour. And probably wear it less often. But really we'd like CF-style clothes strong enough to live in, most of all.

I have bought a number of items from Celtic Fusion over the years - tweed wrist warmers, neck warmer, and trousers. They've been of great quality and the service has been super fast.
