Special high fashioned dress to alter for a special birthday celebration.
Just a bit to come off the length, going for that perfect level. It was perfect.
A very happy client from an owner of one of Cambridges' high fashion stores.

A fabulous evening this must have been for all! Anna Leese Soprano in her element.
Twelve months ago I finished creating this dress for Anna Leese Soprano for her singing with Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. Last Saturday evening, Anna sang with the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra. I have always loved classical music and voice, just as much creating classic/elegant garments.

My Word, Amazing! My business and me, of 20 years in Cambridge CBD , came in at Second place HIGHLY COMMENDED in the Bridal Gown Alterations Category. This has been achievable with the loyalty of my Brides who voted for me, the word-of-mouth recommendations they personally bring from other Brides who have had the Bridal Gown Alterations experience at The Tailoress. Thank you to the Bridal Gown Retailers who are in Auckland and Hamilton who recommend their Waikato Brides to pop in to see me regarding gown Alterations.

Thank you to Couples Choice NZ coupleschoicenz for their Mahi in presenting this to New Zealand. 🌟💕🎉👏💯😊
