Gracie Designs

From our first interaction over email, Gracie went above and beyond to understand what I wanted from my dress alterations. She put my mind at ease and nothing was too big or too small to fix.

My fittings were stress free, full of laughter and a pleasure. I always left feeling super confident that on my final fitting everything would be great.

I would recommend Gracie ten times over. Your wedding dress will be in her safe hands and you will leave with your dream dress fitting you perfectly.

Thank you again Gracie. You can tell that you truly love what you do.

All the best,

Grace was a pleasure to deal with when she altered my 1920s-style beaded wedding dress. She made me feel very comfortable and confident throughout the process. She was responsive when I needed to speak to her and flexible with timings etc. I could not recommend her enough! More...

I was looking for someone to tailor my wedding dress for a quite a while when I came across Gracie on Bark and thank god I did! !

I would highly recommended using Gracie for any tailoring needs, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you Gracie - you made me feel like a princess for my wedding day! More...

What an amazing experience. As a plus size bride I was a little hesitant as to whether or not the dress I eventually picked would work. But Grace worked her magic and wow...I felt every bit the bride! I'd 100% recommend Grace for an kind of alterations you may need, she provides a complete and personal experience and such a beautiful soul. I'm having a second reception in Italy later this summer and have hired Grace again to make a few minor alterations. If it was possible to give 10 stars I would! More...

Gracie was amazing from start to finish. She was such a pleasure to work with, and did an incredible job altering my dress. Would highly recommend her

Gracie was absolutely amazing! I had my wedding dress(es) fitted with her and she did an amazing job! She made me feel very comfortable, and also very grounded and supported.
My body shape is a difficult one, but Gracie really managed to fit everything to my shape and fitting it like a glove! More...

Gracie was a pleasure to work with. She was warm and friendly, her communication was great and her skills and expertise are fantastic. I had a very finely beaded bag that needed a lot of TLC and Gracie took on the task with enthusiasm. She blew me away with the intricate work that she did to restore a very special piece that I will treasure for a long time. She also gave me advice on fittings/adjustments for a couple of dresses as well as completing a tricky repair on the tuille skirt of a dress. She saved the day and made my outfit perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone. More...

Gracie is such a wonderful seamstress. She made sure my wedding dress fitted perfectly: it looked amazing and was super comfortable. Our fittings were lovely and we had a great time chatting in her adorable studio. Gracie not only altered my dress, but made me a beautiful lace top to go over it. I was able to choose the lace and style, and Gracie gave expert tips on sleeve lengths and cut. I would highly recommend Gracie if you want amazing quality from a lovely person! More...

Gracie altered my wedding dress last summer. She was very professional but also made me feel very comfortable through out the whole process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to get wedding dress alterations or anything intricate More...

Gracie was amazing. My wedding dress look wonderful.

Gracie was a complete star - she restored my mum's 1980s wedding dress for my special day. She carefully cleaned the fabric and modernised the fit. I was delighted with the result. Would strongly recommend for specialist work with vintage items. More...

Gracie made my vision become reality. After trying on so many dresses that weren't perfect, I messaged Gracie with a vision that I thought she would turn away. I found this beautiful hemp silk that she happened to have experience with and that's when I knew she was a genius. As she got to know me and understand me, she put ideas on the table that were so perfect and in line with me and the dress, I put all my trust in her and just let her do her thing. My dress was exquisitely made and fit like a glove and what I thought would be an uncomfortable day, was so comfortable. Thank you Gracie for making me feel like a princess, I will 100% be finding a reason to work with you again. More...

Gracie was an absolute pleasure to work with. I went to Gracie with a floor length dress to wear as a wedding guest. It was far too long and didn’t fit me across the chest, with certain parts gaping. It now fits me like a glove, and Gracie also suggested cleaning up the lines on the dress by removing the adjustable sliders on the thin shoulder straps, which has made it look ten times more expensive! I am so so pleased with how it turned out, and can’t recommend Gracie’s friendly service enough. More...

Gracie worked wonders with my wedding dress that I bought to wear prior to the pandemic. I was worried when I uncovered the dress two years later to find an unsightly stain that had appeared. Luckily I found Gracie who worked her magic to turn it into a beautiful dress adding lace and creating a lovely fitting bodice. She is so kind and professional and came up with great suggestions. The whole process was stress free and efficient. She hand made delicate paper flower hairbands for me, my daughter and sister which added the finishing touch! I would highly recommend Gracie. More...

Gracie was calm and professional - she was able to take my static riddled tent of a wedding dress with various layers of over skirt and create my dream dress :). I was delighted with the final fit, as well as the communication and appointment process. More...

Gracie was an absolute dream come true. When I decided to alter my grandmas wedding dress from 1948 I was very apprehensive. I was not keen to take it to any old tailors as it’s such a valuable item. I luckily found Gracie on Fb and finding Gracie was like finding gold dust. She knew my vision and adapted things along the way. She has such a delicate way of working with vintage items and could tell this was more than a “job” for her. She wanted to make the dress perfect! Gracie is so down to earth and accommodating and managed to make my dream dress a reality. Cannot thank you enough Gracie. More...

Grace made me a dress for my son’s wedding, last Saturday. She understood exactly what I wanted and created a divine dress in shot dupion silk fully lined with the softest silk ever. With matching flowers for my hair. I felt beautiful, absolutely wonderful, and got lots of compliments. Grace is not only incredibly creative, but very efficient too. Working with her was a real pleasure. Thank you Grace More...

It was wonderful working with Gracie over a 4 month period. She upcycled a vintage wedding dress I bought in a charity shop and was able to magically transform my ideas into reality and came up with some wonderful suggestions which added to the beauty of the garment. It was so easy and no stress, the finished outfit was so gorgeous. More...

Grace is amazing and so talented. I had 2 wedding dresses and Grace has tailored in 2 weeks time which is extremely helpful given such a short notice. The dresses fit like a dream and Grace understands exactly what I am looking for. Grace also advises and changes certain details of the dress to make it more elegant and suit my style. I had a lot of compliments on the day. Communication is great. Thanks Grace for such an amazing work at a reasonable price! More...

The first impression I got from Gracie was that she was warm and kind and it definitely wasn’t her first rodeo of wedding dress alterations! She was caring towards me even when I decided to break down crying from all the stress the wedding planning had caused me and assured me I would get the wedding dress of my dreams. Gracie can alter just about any dress to fit your size— even if you think the dress can never be altered to fit you! She made me feel comfortable just being me and having to strip off to try the dress on several times! Within a month, my wedding dress went from being ridiculously big and entirely not wearable, to literally the wedding dress of my dreams (and perfectly fitted!) I 10/10 recommended Gracie for any dress alteration you might need, especially the wedding dress of your dreams! More...

Gracie was amazing from start to finish! She was professional and approachable. I felt very comfortable around her and trusted her very quickly. I loved my dress before she started her work and loved it even more once she had finished. Highly recommend.
Thank you Gracie! More...

Gracie was amazing to work with, made me feel so comfortable & tailored my dress to perfection! Would recommend for anyone looking for absolute specialism combined with a lovely friendly service

I went to Gracie to get my wedding dress altered, and she did such a wonderful job! I couldn't have been more happy with the results, she was extremely friendly, professional and easy to work with. I enjoyed visiting her home studio as well! More...

Gracie was absolutely fantastic! I came to her with an emergency alteration and she was so immensely accommodating and just incredible. During the fitting, she made me feel very comfortable and was very personable and professional - it felt like getting fitted by an old friend. I highly recommend Gracie for all of your alteration/dress fitting needs! Thank you so much Gracie! xx More...

Beyond doing beautiful work she was also flexible, speedy, communicative and provided lots of options with pressuring me in any way.
