Dressmaking

Dresses made for you, and only you.

Twenty years of fitting other people's designs taught us exactly how a dress should sit. Now we make them from the first measurement: designed with you, cut to you, fitted on you, finished by hand.

  1. Evening, black tie and party dresses
  2. Bridal, bridesmaids and mother of the bride
  3. A copy of a favourite dress, in a new cloth
  4. Measurements taken for made-to-measure pieces ordered elsewhere

  2. Whole wedding parties fitted together, in one visit
  3. Ideal for busy diaries and wardrobes too big to carry
