Invisible Mending

Tweed Jacket Repair

This jacket came in with moth holes and small tears, which you can see in the first two photos. We repaired and re-wove the damage by hand until, in the after photos, it has all but disappeared.

Before Before After After

Bridal

Wedding Dress Alteration

This gown was lengthened by six inches and the bodice widened for a better fit. It is the kind of structural change that has to be judged by eye and finished by hand.

Occasion Wear

Elegant Beaded Gown

Tailored for a perfect fit: we took in the side seams for a flattering silhouette, narrowed the sleeves for a refined finish, lifted the shoulders for better proportion, and shortened the hem to the desired length.

Prom & Formal

Yellow Prom Gown

A floor-length yellow gown, shortened to sit perfectly for its wearer. Through layer upon layer of ruffled tulle, the hem was taken up and re-finished by hand so the fall and movement of the skirt stayed exactly as the designer intended. Shown from the front and back.

Court Mounting

Medals Mounted to Uniform

A set of service medals, court mounted and securely attached to the uniform so they sit flat, aligned and stable when worn. Precise, respectful work.

Soft Furnishings

Bespoke Curtains

Curtains made entirely from scratch, carefully designed, measured and finished by hand to suit the room they were made for.
