I got a special request from one of the bridesmaids. This was kept as a surprise for the bride. They had lost their mum in 2025 . The bridesmaid left a piece of their mums clothing with me to cut out some butterflies and attach to the inside of their gowns..I cut them in a heart shape and placed them where their hearts would be in the gowns.. 💜

💜 A really lovely idea to remember someone on your special day 💜

Hope you all had a lovely time celebrating 🥳

As many of you know, I take so much pride in every stitch here at Sewing Services by Anita.
There is nothing I love more than seeing a garment transformed and back in your hands—usually much faster than the big shops can manage!

​To keep providing that same high-quality, bespoke service you expect, I’ve had to make the difficult decision to increase my prices.

​The rising costs of materials, electricity, and general living mean this change is necessary for me to continue doing what I love at the professional standard you deserve.
My goal remains the same: providing expert tailoring with a personal touch and a quick turnaround that fits your schedule.

​Thank you for supporting my small, local business.

✂️ Stunning evening gown ✂️

What a pleasure to work on this gorgeous peach/coral dress with it's 3D flowers sequins and a corset back. 😍

This customer knew exactly what she wanted to make this dress fit and feel more comfortable for a wedding she was attending.
It was a little long and she didn't like the v shaped drop front on the waist.

Upon looking at the photos she sent me, I did notice that the waist of the dress wasn't sitting on her waist. It sat lower..

so I decided to detach the bodice and shorten it there, along with straightening the v shape at the front. ✅
This was more challenging as it meant I had to tackle the corset back and side zip in the process. ✅
She also got some boning sewn into the front of the bodice to add some structure. ✅

She was happy with everything and it looked absolutely stunning on her 👌 🥰

Mother of the Bride and flower girl

This stunning mother of the bride dress needed taken up at the shoulders.. this brought the gaping boat neck in closer and a much neater fit.
The chiffon sleeves were removed and then resewn gathering at the shoulders.

Shoulders were also taken up on this gorgeous flowergirl dress 💞
