My mission is to enable women of all ages, shapes and sizes to be able to individualize their style of dress and accessories.
This means that I aim to assist you in designing and creating garments that are not only age appropriate, but figure flattering and designed to suit the occasion.
I would also like to offer you the service of replicating your “old favourite” garments. Perhaps your favourite clothing store has changed their designs, or if you have a garment that you absolutely love, and it’s getting a bit old and worn - I can make a pattern from it and make you a brand new garment in your choice of fabric and colour.
Alterations are welcome too - from hems and waistband adjustments on pants and skirts, to hems and alterations (including beading) on both debutante & bridal dresses or gowns.

| Discuss design, colours, fabrics, undergarments, shoes, and deadlines. | |
| Meet & finalise design and fabrics. | |
| Work agreement is signed and your deposit is paid. | |
| Your measurements are taken. | |
| Calico fitting of a mock-up of your final design. | |
| Fabric fitting of the garment. | |
| Final fitting to ensure a perfect fit. | |
| Garment pickup. |
More appointments may be necessary depending on the garment complexity and the fitting requirements of the garment.
