“My goal with every bride is to make you feel comfortable, you and your dress are in the safest of hands throughout your whole tailoring journey.

I work in a friendly, safe space where you can ask any question and put forward any suggestion. After all, it’s not just another dress, it’s the dress you will remember forever!

It’s my job as your Tailoress that you remember forever how well your dress fit, how it looked like it was made for you, and how wonderfully confident you felt in it”
