Wedding dresses and evening gowns are complex garments, not everyday dresses. They need to be altered by someone who understands structure, fabric and how the dress should work with your body.
With layers, structure, boning, lining, delicate fabrics and carefully balanced proportions, altering it properly requires the same level of technical understanding as the original construction.
I look at both sides: how the dress is made, and how your body is shaped. This allows me to create an alteration plan that respects the garment, supports your body, and works with your personal needs.
With training in fashion design, pattern cutting and bridal garment construction, I plan each alteration around the dress, your figure, and what you want to achieve.
From bodice reshaping to internal support, hems and delicate fabric work, every adjustment is made with purpose.
You finally found the dream dress but it only part of the journey; the true magic happens when it fits your body. A gown can look beautiful on the hanger or on the model, yet still need adjustment to fit your shape, support you properly, and feel comfortable to wear.
I refine the fit, support and proportion — or restyle the shape where needed — so the dress feels more like it was made for you.
To maintain precision and quality, I accept a limited number of bridal and eveningwear projects each month. If your garment matters, book early.

With a background in fashion design, pattern cutting, garment construction and bridal atelier work, I look at each dress through structure, proportion and fit.
Every piece is assessed carefully, from the way it sits on the body to how it moves, supports and flatters.
