| Introduction | Tailoring & Alterations offers a highly personalised, couture-level service, specialising in complex alterations and luxury bridal wear. Every garment is handled with precision, ensuring each client feels confident, supported, and beautifully fitted for their special day. With over 24 years of experience, I am professionally trained as a Haute Couture fashion designer, graduating top of my class and awarded a gold trophy for excellence. My background includes working with renowned designers such as Catherine Walker, couturier to Diana, Princess of Wales, as well as Beatrice Von Tresckow, Meeras, and Maria B. I specialise in intricate bridal alterations, including reshaping bodices, working with delicate lace, and refining silhouettes to couture standards. I also design bespoke dresses for all occasions, offering a complete service from consultation to final fitting, with complimentary design advice. Before relocating to the UK, I ran my own fashion business and worked with celebrity clients. I now collaborate with specialist boutiques including Love Bridal in Crystal Palace and Aurora Bride in Cheam, while welcoming private clients by appointment. |
