Seamstress Reveals Secretive Process Behind Venezuela Fury's 40ft Wedding Train

A seamstress who made Venezuela Fury's 40ft wedding train has told how she sewed for "lots of hours" in secret and had to use a church hall as it was "too big" for her workshop. Emily Grant, 38, from Colne, Lancashire, was summoned to a top secret first fitting with the bride - the daughter of boxer Tyson Fury - and her mum Paris, as she prepared for her first celebrity wedding. Venezuela, 16, married Noah Price in a ceremony on Sunday on the Isle of Man, where the Fury family has relocated after decades living in Morecambe. Grant said: "Venezuela loved her dress and it all came together beautifully and she looked absolutely amazing." The train work was subcontracted to Grant, who has run her own business Sew In Love for 11 years, by Lancashire based bridal boutique Ava Rose Hamilton. "I was a bit nervous at first and didn't know what to expect but the Fury family were lovely", she told BBC Radio Lancashire. Grant, who has been a seamstress for 15 years, said she was sworn to secrecy after the first phone call which was difficult as she was "not good at keeping secrets". She said the train was "the longest I have ever done" so the first task was to overcome the logistical problem. She had to lay all the fabric out flat diagonally as it was even too long for Barnoldswick Independent Methodist Church Hall. "I turned it round pretty quickly from first fitting to completion in five weeks," she said. "It was a hell of a lot of hours, lots of working late. Lots of sewing. I was doing that alongside all my other brides and I'm getting married this summer, so I've been very busy." Creating the fishtail train, which has been widely celebrated on social media, the newspapers and on TV, saw three layers of fabric, a full layer of lace laid out with the lace detailing all around the edging. The full length was hand sewn by Grant to "make it nice and flat as Venezuela walked and I used an embroidery machine to do the edging round the side". "I wasn't allowed to tell anybody from the first phone call I got which is tough," she said. "I'm not good at keeping secrets – the church didn't know what I was working on they just knew I needed the room." Grant said the media exposure had overwhelmed her, adding: "To be honest I never expected it to be seen as much as it has – I knew it would be a big wedding, don't get me wrong, but its been exciting." She added: "It's nice to be recognised as a seamstress because people talk about the bridal shops and we can get forgotten.
