I specialise in Heirloom sewing. I love the precision and delicacy of the sewing and the creative opportunities that each gown offers. Bonnets and petticoats to accompany the gowns are available on request.
I have some gowns are already made and available for purchase.
Usually, I make gowns to order. Please discuss with me if you wish a special gown to be made and allow a minimum of 12 weeks for these orders.
