My Services
I carry out fittings Monday to Saturday at my home.
I make and alter garments.
01 Alterations
Every wedding dress needs adjustments, because our body is unique. At the initial fitting, we discuss what needs to be done, how it is done and its cost. There is no separate charge for fittings and the payment is upon completion. The dress fitting usually requires the wedding shoes and appropriate underwear.
I always finish the same way as the original, unless requested to do defferently.
Any garments should be brought in a clean state.
02 Dressmaking
Creating a garment from scratch can be costly, because pattern-cutting to fit your body is a time-consuming process. This will involve toile-making and pattern adaptations. Also requires a series of fittings. Sourcing adequate materials can take time, and for these reasons, I usually ask a few months for a bespoke dressmaking project.
Although I alter men's garments, I do not make men's garments from scratch.
I can take your body measurements and fill the form, if you are to order a made to measure garment remotely.
03 Sample & Costume Making
For independent and corporate designers - I can make the garments or parts for the garments just as you want, here in London, by sewing, crocheting, knitting, embroidering or hand-painting. Use my samples for fashion shows, competitions, exhibitions, photoshoots or send them to your manufacturers.
04 General Mending & Other
Replacing zips, general mending, darning a rip and so on. This service is not be available in wedding seasons. I cannot take garments with ongoing / untreated moth issues.
