Ladies Clothes

INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED, MADE TO ORDER

LADIES BRIDAL, EVENING AND CLASSIC DAYWEAR

BIAS CUTTING A SPECIALITY

 

 

I design and make clothes to order for Ladies; wedding clothes, evening clothes and day clothes.  I do not make trousers.  You will need to make an appointment to see me at my premises, during which I will sketch a design for you and give you a written estimate.  I have photographic and sketch portfolios for you to browse through and some sample dresses for you to look at as well.

 

Between 2 and 6 fittings may be needed, depending on the style.  I make all the patterns and the clothes are sewn by hand. 

 

 

I have several ranges of 100% silk , and eco fabrics that can be ordered as well as some quality synthetics.  If you wish to use your own fabric please check the amount and suitability of the fabric that will be needed for your garment before purchasing it.

 

 

If you are unsure of the style, then a toile can be made and this will incur extra charges of between £50 and £250.  I always recommend a toile for complex garments.

 

A minimum of several weeks notice is required for simple clothes, but several months notice may be needed for wedding dresses, depending on the style of the dress and the volume of work to hand.  Appointments may be made during the week in the daytime, and if time permits in the early evening (up to 7.30 p.m.) or on a Saturday.

 

I charge £15 per hour for making up the garment and £25 per hour for designing.  There is a minimum Design fee of £25.   The following is an indication of starting prices:

 

                

 

                 Unlined Day Dress from £145

                 Lined Day Dress from £200

                 Suits (skirt and jacket) from £350
