Reagen Varross, 28, had always promised to create his sister's, Brooke Evans, 30, wedding dress.

The couture fashion designer spent 120 hours making the gown - which combined elements of a "vintage design" with a "modern twist".

Brooke couldn't have been happier with her dress and tied the knot on August 17.

Brooke, a hairdresser from Bridgnorth said: “The whole day was a dream.

"When I saw the dress I was very emotional – it was all totally couture – I was blown away."

The creation process started with a toile - a mock-up of the dress in a basic fabric - allowing for adjustments and alterations before moving on to the final fabric.

Brooke wanted a dress in keeping with the couple's wish for the wedding not to be too overly formal.
