Lovely photos from mid year formal, this dress was just so special, and isn't this lovely young lady just so beautiful?

Working on making these special dresses fit perfectly like they are made for you is a real honour and a privilege.

Letting out jeans, and a denim jacket, for a client. A job I rarely do due the time consuming nature, and value of jeans.

In this case he wanted a contrasting insert, and I had this denim the right weight leftover from a past project, and the slight stretch was perfect as well.

These jobs go into three figures, taking around 3 hrs each. And, as you can see, the added panel is quite visible.

The more you add to the waist seam, the longer the panel goes down the seam, as it all has to be sewn as straight as possible to sit smoothly.

So most of the time, buying a new pair of jeans and getting the hems taken up is your better bet.

And I have over 50 colours of various shades of thread to match your contrast topstitching perfectly.

These two vests are off for a bucket list holiday bike ride across the USA.

Jamie did an awesome job on topstitching the badges on.

And I had matching blue and antique gold thread to match them perfectly.

I've always thought getting the thread colour matching is a sign of quality.

Hence the whole wall of hundreds of reels of thread I have, and I still go buy more if I dont like how what I have matches. Another reason its good to have a few days turnaround just in case I need to take your garment thread shopping.

This lovely Maid of Honour dress is such a lovely design, but the fit needed a bit of tweaking.

I took up the shoulders, took in down the side seams, and of course took up the hem.

Katherine's lively gown which needed taking up, three layers in all, outer lining and inner tulle, and I also repaired the waist seam, tie ends and did a little bullion rose to mark the centre of the back tie.

All for a lovely fall wedding last March.

Zoe's lovely bridemaids dress I took in down both side seams for a summer wedding.

A good alteration doesn't show, it looks like it never happened.

Kate's lovely unique lace wedding gown, which was altered to remove the bottom tier of the skirt to remove the train, and hems were taken up on the inside layers to match. I had to do a bit of fine rolled hemming in an off white cotton to finish it off.

On the top being a slight Petit woman I took in the bodice by overlapping the neck opening, and preventing the back opening gaping by making a little strap in this fine vintage satin bias tape I found at 'The Nest Haberdashery' in at Brendale.

I made sure the waist button section had hooks n eyes to hold it securely, and also reshaped the hem offcut to have a point, and ease stitch the inside neck edge to pull it in so the offcut could be worn as a shawl. Also trimming and finishing off the little lining offcut so she could tie it round her hair.

I love the variety in my work, no two dresses are exactly the same.

Maddy's lovely gown which just needed a couple of tweaks, recutting the armhole to reduce the neckline gaping at the top, and side darts to stop it gaping at the sides.

I unpicked a fair bit of the top bodice and worked it all from inside before sewing it all back together.

This lovely gown of Kiera's required a very steady careful hand to take up, as I had to carefully cut through the lace where I pinned it while keeping it looking natural and intentional.

Under the lave was a soft tulle that was also cut just short of the edge nice and straight around the curved hem and two layers of lining hems to sew.

I also replaced the hanging loops with matching natural white instead of the ones with black lettering, and marked the middle of the back lacing tie to assist with keeping the ties even.

This was for a lovely wedding at the end of Summer this year.
