WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Gemma did an amazing job with the alterations to my wedding dress. We booked her at the last minute, and I’m so grateful she was able to fit me in and complete everything before the wedding day.
She is incredibly skilled and clearly knows
… More exactly what she’s doing. The alterations were done beautifully, and my dress fit perfectly.
I didn’t have an outfit for the evening reception, so I wore my wedding dress all day and all night. Thanks to Gemma’s alterations, it was comfortable to wear throughout the entire day, and I was even able to go to the toilet by myself without any issues, which made such a difference!
Thank you, Gemma, for helping make my wedding day so much easier and more enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and reliable seamstress. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

She has such a calming presence, makes you feel completely at ease, and is the most wonderful hype woman when you’re in the dress — which makes the whole experience even more special. I felt so looked after throughout the entire process.
Thank you again, Gemma — I’m beyond grateful xx

Gemma is truly one of a kind! My dress was quite complicated and needed a lot of alterations, I was very worried it wouldn’t be done in time or would fit me wrong. However, she honestly made me feel like Cinderella at the ball! The dress … More fit like a glove, it was so gorgeous and the attention to detail is out of this world!

Thank you so much❤️

I went to Gemma as she was my recommended seamstress from where I bought my wedding dress from. Straight away I contacted Gemma as I was cutting it a little fine to get my alterations done (we planned a wedding within 9 months and of course … More I left my dress with only 6 months to go)! No task was too big for Gemma to do even with having to take all of the appliqués off my dress one by one to be able to alter the dress and then having to hand sew them all back on. I must have been Gemma’s nightmare of a bride as 3 days before the wedding, I got my dress which fitted absolutely perfectly! With the off cuts of my dress Gemma made me 2 scrunchies and my daughter 2 hair bows so she could wear a part of my wedding dress not only on my wedding day but after too! Thank you, thank you, thank you Gemma for all of your hard work and time you dedicated to getting my wedding dress absolutely perfect! 🤍

Gemma is truly the most talented lady. Still in awe over how she can make any dress fit like a glove even with the most intricate detail. Gemma also calmed me down and came to the rescue when my daughter had a growth spurt and the bridesmaid … More dress didn't fit 2 weeks before the wedding!
