A private fitting for a wedding or evening gown. You must bring the exact shoes and undergarments you intend to wear on the day. Heel height changes the hem's finished length and posture, which changes the way the whole garment hangs. A fitting done in the wrong shoes and undergarments has to be done twice.

Weekend and evening fittings can sometimes be arranged for bridal and event deadlines. There is nothing to book here for those: send an enquiry and ask.

A fitting for the clothes you wear the rest of the time: taking in and letting out, relining garments, replacing zips and alterations to hems, waistbands, and sleeves. Bring the garment and, if it matters to the look, the shoes you wear it with.

Heirloom textiles and period garments. I will treat the item sympathetically with care and offer restoration, invisible mending, reinvention, and period-correct fastenings. Bring the item and anything you know about its history or story.
