Made to Measure

  Our garments are all handmade to a very high quality but also reasonably priced. We have a small studio so we can concentrate on making beautiful clothes to fit your shape and style.
  After the initial consultation discussing the pattern and materials, measurements are taken and a price will be agreed for your unique garment.
  A toile is made of inexpensive fabric to test if the style and shape fits you best and, if necessary, changes in pattern can be made before cutting the real fabric. Once the toile is perfect we will start to make your outfit. It may take several fittings before everything is perfect.

Prices start from:

Day dresses.......£250, lined £300

Wedding Dresses...........from...£750

Evening dresses......£480

Jackets...........from...£420

Skirts..............from.£150

Trousers............from.£240

The made to measure service will take four to six weeks but we may improve upon this if required.

 

Bespoke tailoring

We offer a bespoke design service which means you can choose any design, fabric and trimmings that you like.

 

Clothes Copying

If your all-time favourites are worn out or no longer available in the shops, we can cut a pattern from your original clothing, source the fabric or you can buy it yourself and re-make your favorite over and over again.

Relining

Replace that old lining with a new top quality one and give a new lease of life to your garment.

 

Students

Bring your projects to us even if you don't have a pattern or no idea where to start.
