About me
I have been sewing professionally for more than 15 years, specialising in bridalwear since 2003. I graduated from Wimbledon College of Art with a BA(Hons) in Costume design.
My family tease me that I'm never seen without a needle. For my work I make beautiful and individual dresses for weddings, parties and special occasions, and on holiday I do cross stitch!
My first memory of sewing is at just over four years old, on the floor of my mother's sewing room, making a doll's dress (which I still have). I sewed at home for fun, at Brownies for badges, at school for GSCE and A-level, fashion shows and for my friends' Leavers Ball dresses. I joined the National Youth Theatre’s costume dept. and sewed through 6 summer holidays in dusty theatre wardrobes and back stage. I sewed my way through art college while running a small shop selling clothes and jewellery I made myself. In my early twenties I designed and sewed hundreds of costumes for a Yorkshire based Youth theatre 'Livewire'. At university I purposefully took the design (not sewing) course and pushed my research and design skills – I felt I could already sew! While at university I got the bug for bridalwear by working part time for a wedding dress shop as their alterations lady. After graduating I worked briefly in film and television before concentrating on being a bespoke wedding dress maker.
