Rachel Scott Couture is marking its 20th anniversary with an exciting expansion.

The new boutique will feature a selection of eveningwear, bespoke jewellery and accessories from top designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Temperley London and Suzanne Neville, and Scottish style enthusiasts can get an exclusive first look from 1 February.

Located on Edinburgh’s Queensferry Street, fashion aficionados can book a private appointment at the boutique from Thursday 1 February. Alternatively, fashionistas can drop in and browse the full collection without an appointment during the open weekend on 3-4 February.

The new premises will showcase a range of cocktails dresses, black tie gowns and couture formalwear, as well as handcrafted headwear and jewellery for any occasion.

Designer names include Vivienne Westwood whose exclusive made-to-order collection will be available for the very first time in Scotland at Rachel Scott Couture. What’s more, the new made-to-order eveningwear collection from celebrity favourite Suzanne Neville will also be available for the first time in Scotland at Rachel Scott Couture.

Speaking ahead of the launch, boutique owner Rachel Snedden explained the benefits of buying made-to-order pieces. She said: “Fit is such a huge issue for many people when buying ‘off-the-rack’ clothing, and even more so when shopping online.

“Now imagine you can have something made to your exact measurements and specifications, for example – you don’t like the neckline, the colour, or you don’t want to have to worry about a bra – we can change it and have it made the way you really want it!”
