I am based just off Whitchurch road Cardiff, in a small home studio. I offer thoughtful, sustainable clothing alterations, custom dress making, and clothing repairs.
I have twenty three years’ experience in making and altering theatrical costume for the Royal Opera House and the English National Opera. I am formally trained in fashion design and tailoring and I am experienced in working with a wide range of fabrics, and alteration techniques.
I've always struggled to find clothes that fit me well, which led me to alter many of my own clothes.
My work has shown me how small changes can make anyone feel great in their clothes. Most items just need a little tweak or adjustment to feel right. Whether its refining the fit or repairing a favourite piece - these changes can make all the difference.
I truly believe that clothes are meant to be loved and worn, altered not discarded. Alterations are a simple, powerful way to reduce textile waste and build a more sustainable wardrobe - something that is really important to me.
