I have been lucky to have so many wonderful clients over the years.

Here are some testimonials from my bridal & corsetry clients and in the next section below from the amazing business owners I have had the pleasure of coaching and mentoring.

  • "Dear Susi & Team, Thank you for my corset it is AMAZING and I am over the moon with it! I'm so looking forward to wearing it. Thanks again for your advise, help and the outstanding finish of the end product. I'll be singing your praises far and wide. It was really appreciated that you delivered it too. Thanks so much, a very satisfied customer."

Wearing your designs makes me feel all woman and very powerful. Thanks Susi for doing so much for me and being such a lovely person, you are so a good woman and you've made me feel worth so much."

Your designs are simply stunning. Thank you once again. "

  • "Thank you for my lovely corset. It fits like a dream and was greatly admired at a recent charity ball in London. The dinner was hosted by another corsetiere who despite being in competition, was most complimentary. I did mention your name to a few people. The springs are comfortable! My greatest appreciation for being a belle of the ball for a night."

  • "It was my bridesmaid’s idea to look at Eternal Spirits. We had been around quite a few bridal wear shops with no success.... From the first appointment the service was excellent, we were welcomed every time and a lot of time was taken to understand exactly what I wanted from my dress. I was helped to choose the fit, the materials and given lots of advice on how the dress would fit. I had very regular appointments and each time the dress would have been completed to the next stage which was very exciting. I enjoyed every part of the process, the design stage was a lot of fun but finally getting the dress, even the toile version, was the most fun. The dress was the perfect fit from the first time I tried it on and the whole process was very enjoyable. The dress was a big part of my day, I’m really not a dressy type girl but this one was very special, it made me look and feel fantastic. There were many comments about my dress on the day, many people commented on how beautiful the dress was, the attention to detail and the way the dress fell without having to be adjusted. I would recommend Eternal Spirits to anyone wanting a wedding dress, gown or some corsetry, the service the workmanship and attention to detail is unbelievable... The whole process of having a dress made never really stuck out to me, I always thought it would be way out of my budget! Eternal Spirits made me a bespoke wedding dress that fit perfectly and at a very reasonable cost. I am very proud to be from Nottingham so to have a dress made here and using materials from Nottingham it was all the more special. I also have to give a very big thanks to the team of ‘ladies’ who no doubt spent many hours altering, sewing on buttons, pearls and edging chiffon for my very special day. You are a very very talented bunch and may the success of Eternal Spirits continue long into the future! Bev x"

  • "I just wanted to say thank you for my beautiful wedding dress. When we first discussed my dress I was'nt really that fused about what I wanted as unlike other brides, it was not overly important to me and I felf bad making a fuss about what seemed to be such a small part of my wedding plans.But.. because you made it important and believed that i should like great on my big day, I really started to love the whole idea and got into the swing of things.I thought your design ideas were amazing and you knew what would look great on me and the whole fitting process and your enthusiasum made the process so much fun and I looked forward to our dress catch ups abd seeing it in the making.On my big day I felt like a princess and that was down to you, so I thank you with all my heart for being the perfect wedding dress designer and making me a truely unique "angela" dress."

I didn't think it was possible to create the perfect outfit in such a short time period, but Susi exceeded all of my expectations. So much so I have been back several times, and would not consider anybody else to create an outfit for me. Love you Susi and all your fabulous creations. Love, Allison."

    Allison

  • "I did want to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did for the wedding - including sorting Debbie's bridesmaid dress for us at the last minute! My dress was awesome, thanks, and everyone commented on it and how unusual it was. I'm just hoping I get chance to wear it again sometime. I am considering the 'Rock the Frock' photoshoot that our wedding photographer offers.... just to be in it again! It's by far the most flattering thing I've worn!"

  • "My favourite part was seeing the design take shape but the ultimate was when the dress was first in the end material, however it was all fab!... I felt amazing. I can’t remember as I was so nervous but apparently there was a collective gasp as I went in and someone said I looked like a silent film star! Everybody said how amazing the dress looked and I felt very glamorous and special as I knew I didn’t look like any other bride. ! The wedding underwear went down a treat and I have never felt so attractive and womanly. Well done girls!..."

Business coaching and mentoring testimonials:

  • “It’s hard to describe just how much Susi and her coaching/consulting has helped me in setting up my businesses. The one-on-one sessions are a phenomenal resource. It’s comforting having an experienced extra set of ears to talk through ideas and at times sticking points. Having her has definitely helped me grow and achieve more sooner than I could have imagined. Her advice was always spot on and enabled me understanding many facets of running own business. I truly recommend her, as she is an amazing mentor.”

    J.P

  • “Susi has been very lovely and helpful and she has given me much help and support with my business plan and cashflow forecasting. She explained everything clearly and so it was easy for me to understand and she gave great feedback and advice on what I needed to do to start my business. With her support I was able to complete both my business plan and cash forecasting to the standard that was needed for it to be approved. Working with Susi was a great pleasure and she was amazing to work with.”

    C.C

  • “I have enjoyed being mentored by Susi. I always get nervous before meeting someone new, but Susi has been amazing. She's got a wonderful bubbly personality and she is so helpful, giving me lots of information I needed to know to help me with my business plan and my cashflow. I have anxiety and Susi made me aware that a lot of self-employed people have anxiety and that I’m not alone and that's helped me to realise I can overcome this barrier. Honestly, she is the best mentor to have.”

    Z.G

  • “Susi was lovely to work with. She has experience of running her own business in the creative field, providing a nuanced approach to her mentoring. She taught me how to manage the financial side of running a business. Above all else, Susi is a considerate person who is easy to talk to, creating a connection with the people she works with, whilst maintaining professionalism.”

    E.P

  • “Just wanted to say thanks so much for your help and patience. I had a bit of a wobble at the end and really appreciated your perseverance and understanding. How we worked out a different kind of business plan that was more ADHD friendly was so useful - I felt you understood where I was coming from which gave me the confidence to do this.”

    C.F

    N.H

  • “Susi Henson is an absolutely fantastic mentor. Not only did she make me feel validated and confident in my new business ideas but gave me helpful tips on the industry which I’ll carry throughout my whole career on subjects such as accounting, recommendations on materials for working with and creating my products with and lastly on how to take those smart risks in business with minimal damage which we all have to face in becoming successful, these were only a small portion of what this fantastic mentor has taught me. Knowledgeable with a brilliant knack for getting information across in a simple way when discussing complex ideologies and ideas, I can’t recommend Susi enough!”

    T.B

She has a lovely personality that encourages you and keeps you enthusiastic. She had a knowledge of the creative market which was very useful to me and had some good suggestions. Some of us artists are struggling at the moment to sell work that has a high price but selling prints which was one of Susi's ideas has been very helpful and has ensured I can sell work at a variety of prices. I was very grateful to her for help with my business plan and being very efficient and helping me move forwards quickly with it. I would thoroughly recommend her as a business mentor.”

    J.H

  • “Having never started a business before I felt a bit overwhelmed by the “business” side of things. Although I had some idea of certain aspects, I was also aware there was a lot I didn’t know. Susi was a tremendous help with not only polishing my business plan and cashflow forecast but also in other ways, like marketing ideas that I hadn’t thought of. I definitely couldn’t have done it without her, everyone starting a business needs a Susi in their corner!”
