I am an experienced dressmaker and seamstress who is dedicated to providing an excellent customer service to all my customers.

I am a second generation seamstress who has been working in clothing for most of my adult life (don’t ask how long 😉!). 

I specialise in alterations for womenswear, in particular occasion wear (such as cocktail and prom dresses). I also have experience with most types of womenswear including wedding/bridesmaids dresses, couture garments and saris. 

My aim is to provide all my customers with a friendly service and was pleased to build up a number of repeat customers in my previous location (as you can see from my Google reviews).  I relocated my studio to Barnet as of January 2026.

So, whether you would like me to design and create a bespoke item for you or if you just need a small alteration or repair, I would be delighted to welcome you to my studio!
