Customer's reviews

Barbara designed and made my beautiful dress for my sons wedding. She is the loveliest of people to work with and an amazing talent. Her attention to detail is second to none. I had so many amazing comments about my dress on the day. It was beautiful to wear, so comfortable and she listened to my needs, I felt like a million dollars in it! I have no hesitation in recommending this amazing lady. I can’t wait for her to design for me again. I just hope she can fit me in! Thank you Barbara you are the best and most of all such a kind, caring, talented lovely lady. I wish you every success with your business x x ~ Sue H
Wow what can I say Barbara's skills are incredible. I do not no how she did it, but she practically made my wedding dress into a completely different one by taking it in , cutting bits off , adding linning, adding bits , making up the back ,adding arms and lace. My dress was super baggy around the waist and bum when i brought it and it went straight down due to having to get a bigger size to fit my wide back and hips. Barbara therefore took it all in to fit my body to give me a waist and shape .She's incredible. She's so friendly , so kind and will do everything to make your dress just how you want it. She goes the extra mile and works all the hours necessary to get your wedding dress ready for you in time. Absoloutly incredible skill. I cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend. Thank you Barbara :) ~ Rachel T
If I could give 6 stars I would be ! Barbara altered my dress for my wedding . I picked up yesterday and oh my god . I thought I loved this dress before but Barbara made the dress mine . My dress has an overskirt and she uttered it to fit exactly as it should and made this dress fit me like a glove while also making me feel supported in the dress . On top of that her warm personality made the whole experience one to remember. Thankyou so much Barbara I am even more excited to ware this dress thanks to you I havnt stopped smiling since .
