Sarahsews

Sarahsews alterations specialising in bridal and evening wear and freelance design projects. I also take on freelance design projects on request.

A little about Sarahsews; I work as freelance alteration specialist, in bridal and evening wear. I work very closely with Helen Taylor at The Bridal Box, working in the shop every other Saturday and working on the majority of The Bridal Box dress alterations so we can ensure the perfect fit for all our lovely brides. I am very qualified to do this work having worked in the fashion industry in Lon

don for many years as a senior pattern cutter and garment technologist after getting my 2:1 Ba(hons) in fashion design, now many moons ago!! I love my work and am at present fitting in as much as possible around my two beautiful babies, as they get older I aim to take on more and expand more back into the design side:)

Any job I take on is priced dependent on the work involved and a quote will be given on consultation.

Wahoo 🤍 1st pictures that I have received through from one of my 2026 brides 🤍 the gorgeous Andrea got married in March in the amazingly sunny destination of Australia, she had this gorgeous A-line dress full of sparkle and lace detail. The alterations I did were attaching matching lace to some tulle pre made detachable straps, I took it in over the bust seams and added a supportive bust cup then I lifted the hem line and added a bustle. Congratulations Andrea you looked stunning, thank you for letting me share these pictures 🤍
