Jo is absolutely amazing. She made a whole dress for me based on a photo of a lady who was a totally different shape and size to me. She was patient and skilled - but most of all, she is so fun and such a laugh! Every single fitting was joyful. And I absolutely loved my dress and so many compliments about it on the day. Thank you Jo!! xx More...

Jo recently repaired a dress of mine where the lace straps had torn beyond repair, or so I thought! When the dress came back I could not believe it. it was like new. I have no idea how she did it but am so grateful. More...

Jo adjusted my wedding dress. She did an incredible job and made it fit perfectly-I felt amazing in it. She added a bustle, amended the hem loop, adjusted the chest and shoulders and added cups. She came to my home to do the fittings, which was ideal for me, and she made me feel so relaxed and fab throughout. She was so lovely, extremely professional and worked quickly, I'd definitely recommend!!! More...

If you need your dress altered, Jo is the person! Can’t recommend her enough. I received the most professional friendly service and also as I ordered my dress last minute she worked quickly to have my dress ready for the big day. I am very fussy when it comes down to the smallest of details and she ticked every box on every level! Thank you Jo ???? More...

I can't recommend Jo highly enough! I found THE dress very quickly. It was a beautiful, embellished Pronovias gown. It had very thin beaded straps as well as lots of lace and would need someone extremely talented to make any alterations to it due to the detailing being so intricate. Jo altered the dress to fit me absolutely perfectly and I truly felt amazing on my wedding day. Thanks Jo! ��xx More...

I cannot recommend Jo highly enough for any bridal or bridesmaid alterations. She altered my Rosa Clara gown, which had lots of beading and lace detail, from a 12 to fit my size 8 frame and it looked and felt amazing on the day! On top her of skill and talent Jo is also extremely friendly, helpful and patient, and nothing was too much trouble! More...

I can’t recommend Joanna enough. She was so patient with me in the lead up to my wedding. I was having very serious doubts about my wedding dress - too big, too revealing, too long, just didn’t feel right compared to the sample. But Joanna’s alterations and suggestion of putting straps on the dress meant that the dress fitted perfectly on the day & I felt amazing. Even with a number of late night panicked emails Joanna never made me feel like I was being pain & she just wanted me to feel happy. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting brides and being a part of their wedding. I've always been creative so dressmaking was a natural fit and something that I've loved doing since I started.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My background was working in costume and it organically evolved into bridal wear. It grew very naturally and now I'm in a position where I am lucky enough to do what I love for a job.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am reliable, passionate about my job, friendly, personable and don't make my clients rush with their decisions. As long as its not the day before your wedding (!) there is usually time. If my clients need time to think about changes to their dress, that is fine - I understand it can be big decisions and they need other peoples opinions, so I would put any pressure or unnecessary stress on my brides, but will ensure their dress is completed and completed well intimate for their big day.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can advise remotely, but fitting just be done in person. When appropriate I will do a fitting with just bride and myself, wearing mask and sanitising on arrival and departure.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Facemasks worn at all times and had washing & sanitising in place. When restrictions tighten, fittings will be halted.
