A bride has her brother to thank for making her dream wedding dress.

Brooke Evans from Shropshire, England, was given the ultimate wedding gift from her brother after he designed her a dress for her August ceremony.

Varross, 28, poured his heart and soul into the creation, putting in 120 hours of work. He used tulle as starting fabric before expanding on the dress design to perfectly suit his sister’s desires, according to the outlet.

The breathtaking wedding gown featured a corset with lace-up detailing at the back, semi-sheer long bishop sleeves and a sweeping skirt, with a white headband to match.

“I had seen designs and things before, but actually seeing it in the flesh and trying it on … it was amazing,” Evans told SWNS.

She added later, “He’s an incredible designer, and it made the day even more perfect.”
