  Annette did an amazing job altering my wedding dress which was intricate with delicate lace and beading. The dress fit perfectly and I was so pleased with the end result. She also did a fantastic job altering my bridesmaids’ dresses and accommodated last-minute alterations for one of my bridesmaids who was pregnant. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the entire process and I’d highly recommend her.

  I had an appointment with Annette to get my wedding dress altered but while I was there I explained to her my vision for my dream dress and she managed to fully alter the neckline to turn it into a reality! My dress fitted me perfectly and she managed to take lace from other parts of my dress to do the re-design so you would never know it had been altered. Annette was lovely throughout the whole process and was flexible with appointment times. Thank you for creating my perfect dress!

  Annette gave me my dream wedding dress! Having bought it off one of Annette's clients on ebay 6 weeks before my wedding day as I was so unhappy with the original one I had bought, Annette showed me the dress and made it fit me perfectly in such a short space of time. She was so calm and lovely to work with, I couldn't have felt more happy and confident in her work. I only wish this was the route I had taken from the beginning. I hope I can work with her again soon.

  Annette saved the day, transforming a disaster bridal dress into the best dress. Annette came to our rescue, when we were frantically trying to find a new last minute dressmaker....difficult in Covid times. She instantly knew what was needed. Her eye is exceptional. She has worked for years in this field, and her experience shows. We are just so thankful. AND...my dress as mother of the bride wasn't too good either....I mentioned this in passing on the phone and Annette said to bring it in. Again, another transformation! Annette was so kind and lovely as well.....she saved the day. We cant thank her enough

  I approached Annette to help with my wedding dress with a very short timeframe. Annette was able to reconstruct a vintage dress according to ideas I had just sketched out on paper, she talked me through each step as we chose and ordered fabrics and trims, she was so reliable in replying to emails and made the whole process calm and enjoyable. I came away with exactly what I wanted and Annette had picked up on details that meant the dress was finished in accordance with her high standards. I will recommend Annette’s again and again.
