The corset she made is so incredible, I’m convinced it’s the most beautiful thing in existence. It’s so lovingly embellished, photos don’t do justice to the thousands of little beads. As a corsetiere myself, I’m convinced she’s doing some of the most exquisite work in the industry, right up there with Mister Pearl.

I received so many wonderful comments on my dress, even from those who I thought might be a little less understanding with my choice of colour. Thank you for the most amazing dress I have ever seen.

The time and effort that was taken in the process was outstanding. Each fitting was an insight in to the art of what Lowana does and it was very cool seeing it come together a little bit more each time I visited. The beading, the shape and the style was exactly what I wanted and I felt so relaxed about the process and yes, corsets can be comfortable!

From the first consultation I knew I was in the best hands and felt confident Lowana would be able to create what I had pictured in my mind. Not only did she create what was in my mind, she created something far greater. I knew I didn’t want to wear something too traditional or white. I wanted unique and theatrical. Something to reflect my personality.

A true artist. From the first consultation I knew I was in the best hands and felt confident Lowana would be able to create what I had pictured in my mind. Not only did she create what was in my mind, she created something far greater. I knew I didn’t want to wear something too traditional or white. I wanted unique and theatrical. Something to reflect my personality. Having suffered with body confidence issues in the year leading up to my wedding day in particular it was an emotional moment to look in the mirror and feel beautiful on my day. The time and effort that was taken in the process was outstanding. Each fitting was an insight in to the art of what Lowana does and it was very cool seeing it come together a little bit more each time I visited. The beading, the shape and the style was exactly what I wanted and I felt so relaxed about the process and yes, corsets can be comfortable! As an artist myself, her dedication and talent was evident with each step, which is why I was so relaxed. I couldn’t recommend Lowana of Vanyanís enough to create the outfit of your dreams. She’s beyond talented and a beautiful person to top it off!

"Anyone interested in corsets should try this." “I felt good. It was very challenging, but a nice environment” “My Favourite part of the class was Lowana’s teaching – her knowledge, tips and encouragement.” (Visit Tara's YouTube channel for a three-part vlog series about the course: Making a Corset: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3)

"Lowana’s technique and guidance took my work from ‘ok’ to ‘great’.... she took years off my learning." (Visit Elinor's blog for a review of the course: Learning to Make Corsets With Vanyanís) (Elinor later went on to WIN the Foundations Revealed 2017 Competition in the Beginner's category!)

Lowana is patient and kind and a great problem solver, and teacher. I can’t wait to come back for the next learning experience!

Wonderful teaching atmosphere – I come away feeling very proud of myself!

"The most valuable thing I learnt was that everything can be fixed; there’s no such thing as perfection." "Lowana O’Shea has a never-ending supply of patience."
