Here we are, officially into my favourite season, AutumnπŸ‚πŸπŸŒ°πŸ„

That means the end of summer sales, back to school, and digging out your favourite raincoat, cosy jumpers and trousersβ˜‚οΈπŸ§₯

Since digging them out, have you remembered you were meant to get them taken up last year because they catch the puddle water? πŸŒ§οΈβ˜”πŸ˜“

Or want school uniforms to last that little bit longer, with temporary alterations that can be adjusted as your child grows? πŸ“š

Or managed to grab a bargain in the sales, and it just needs a little tweak here and there to make it fit perfectly?πŸ›οΈπŸ·οΈ

Or that annoying hole in your pocket, that makes you think your coat has a secret universe, collecting all your important things?πŸ•³οΈπŸ§₯

For all this year's GCSE students (& their parents!) that I had the pleasure of working on their prom outfits, I wish you every success with your exam results on Thursday, and exciting and amazing futures!
Excited to see what Prom season brings next year!

πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯⚑⚑Hi everyone! Little PSA of a service I offer!βš‘βš‘πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

Recently I have been asked by a few clients to create some bespoke outfits, for occasions such as cruises, weddings, and even every day wear. πŸ‘—πŸ‘”πŸ‘šπŸ‘•πŸ‘–

I really enjoy making the visions that my clients have, into a reality! πŸ’­πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

Using inspiration pictures, items of clothing you already own, which you like certain features of, or something you've seen in a shop which you would like, but there's something missing to bring your vision to completion? πŸͺ„πŸ’«
I can create you something that's one of a kind that will fit you perfectly, that you can wear again and again, feeling confident that it was made with care especially for you✨🫢🏻🫡🏻

Pictured is a Sister-of-the-Bride in a formal wear dress I created from scratch, pulling inspiration from a look worn at the Races 2024, which pulled inspiration from a vintage Vogue pattern. As I was unable to source the original pattern, I used my 45 years of knowledge to create a similar dress, which we were both thrilled with the final result! πŸ’«πŸ€
And as you can see, she looked stunning on the day! And the Bride, also pictured, was threatening to take it on her Honeymoon! πŸ’’πŸ‘°πŸ»πŸ€΅πŸ»πŸ’πŸ₯‚πŸ‘—πŸ’πŸΎ

Now that prom season is over, wedding and summer wear is in full swing!
Are you attending any summer celebrations? Weddings, parties, festivals, or have been waiting to wear that special outfit?
At Phoenix Alterations by Fiona Drew we can offer a variety of services, including making adjustments to tops by making bra loops so your sleeves/straps don't fall down, changing hem length to suit you perfectly, amongst other things!

Has all this lovely weather made you realise your summer wardrobe doesn't quite fit as you would like it? β˜€οΈ

Skirt's a funny length? Waistband on your favourite shorts needs cinching in a bit? Your favourite trousers have some holes along the seam? Maybe scooping out the underarm seam would help keep you feeling cool? What about transforming your favourite long sleeved shirt from winter, into a summer staple?

Give me a message at Phoenix Alterations by Fiona Drew or text 07522857147 and we can get you feeling your best for this summer seasonβ˜€οΈπŸ‘—πŸŒžπŸ‘—β˜€οΈ

Hope everyone has a lovely sunny weekβ›±οΈπŸŒžπŸ‰πŸŒŠπŸπŸ¦πŸΉπŸ©΄πŸ‘—
