This bride wanted a little something extra for her outfit so we designed this elegant polka dot organza overlay top with puff sleeves to be worn for the ceremony. We can design what you have in your mind and can’t find in the shops! Call me :)

Some shots from the big day- full alteration service for bridal gowns available. This off the shoulder number looked absolutely stunning on this beautiful bride but needed tightening up around the shoulders to ensure she wasn’t fidgeting with it all day. Also the usual length adjustments, and bringing in the hips to be a perfect snug fit. Stunning results! Contact me for a quote on the alterations for your dress.

Some of the individual pieces I made for a beautiful summer wedding last year. If you’ve seen the perfect bridesmaid dress but it’s not available in the right colour, contact me! We recreated the dress that had been seen in a high street store but in the wedding palette of sky blue. Waistcoats, cravats and flower girls dresses were all made in the same shade for the perfectly matched look for the big day!

No job too small! This clients bag strap had come apart, but if you love something it’s always worth checking in before you consign things to the bin! Quick fix and the bag is ready to roll for many more months.

This customer loved this jumper and wanted to keep it as it was great quality, but didn’t like the restrictive neck. Happily we were able to add in a zip and it can now be worn open! Contact me if you love your garment but something is not quite right!

Call me even if 1) it’s a little job- yes I do those. 2) you’re embarrassed- don’t be we’ve all ironed holes into our clothes! 3) you’re not sure how to fix it, I’ll let you know if it’s not a possibility. 4) the dress isn’t worth much, that’s ok, it’s whether you love it or not that matters!
