MADE TO MEASURE
Sometimes off the peg clothes just don’t cut it. I am 6 feet tall so when I was young I learned to make my own clothes as there was nothing available for me in the shops. Now I’m older, and more curvy, it’s so useful to be able to make clothes that fit me properly and let me feel confident and comfortable in what I’m wearing. I love being able to make clothes that fit the wearer and are exactly what they need.
I also make soft furnishings so your home can be as unique as you are.
- Maybe you need an outfit for a special occasion and want to be sure no one else will be wearing the same?
- Maybe you have an idea in your head for a garment and want help to bring that design to life?
- Maybe you have a unique body shape or a medical condition that means that generic shop-bought clothes don’t fit?
- Do you have a beloved item of clothing that is getting worn out and would like an exact copy making, or another one in a different colour?
- Maybe you want your cushions or blinds to be unique and perfectly sized to fit?
Whatever you need, I can help.
Below are some of the previous commissions I have made for customers. If you would like to discuss or get a quote for a made to measure item, call or email using the details at the bottom of the page.
This beautiful skirt was made to a very clever young lady’s own design. She wanted a unique and stunning skirt for her school prom and I was thrilled to be able to make her vision come to life. We did a few fittings and trial runs and this was the final result.
These trousers were made with an extra high rise in the body to accomdate an abdominal hernia following an operation. I modified the pattern so that the waistband was above the hernia allowing a belt to be worn without being uncomfortable. These modifications could also be made for stoma users.
