Caroline is an incredibly talented dress maker, who, without a doubt will ensure you look and feel like the most beautiful bride on your wedding day. Caroline altered my dress and it fitted like a dream, I was comfortable all day.

Her recommendations for the bustle were great, which made tying it up in the evening quick and simple. The dress loop for my hand was also a genius addition. I had some buttons I wanted to add and some sleeves to alter which Caroline did with ease.

Lastly, I asked Caroline if she could use the cut offs from my dress to make me a hair scrunchie - so I have something to use all the time. Well yet again Caroline delivered, best decision I made.

I was a very nervous bride and Caroline changed all that with a simple pin and stitch and smile. I can't thank her enough for all she did, truly a wonderful and talented lady.

I want alter my dress again, so its reusable and becomes a sustainable staple piece. There is no one I would trust more than Caroline for this task.

Thank you, a million times over.

Caroline made my wedding dress from scratch and it was the most wonderful experience. From designing, to playing around with the toile’s, to adjusting the dress itself, every step was easy going and exciting. Caroline’s boutique which is to the side of her home is absolutely beautiful. It feels so personal but luxury at the same time, and Caroline herself is the most kind and calm person you could wish to meet. The end result was incredible… I definitely got the dress of my dreams. Thank you, Caroline xx

It was such a pleasure meeting Caroline, she makes you feel at ease and her studio is so beautiful. I had my straps taken up plus some framilastic added, by Caroline's advice, to help it sit perfectly. Plus some adjustments to the armholes, and added a split, which meant carefully removing and reapplying the appliqué. My dress felt so comfortable and well-fitted, and I got so many compliments. I would definitely recommend Caroline, especially after recently hearing some horror stories with dress fittings, I'm so glad I went to her.

Where do I even begin? I bought my dresses online as going into a store just wasn't very me! I needed some alterations done and came across Caroline!

Well, what an absolute angel! I was SO nervous about having my dresses altered as I am very OCD. Caroline got what I wanted from the get go and I honestly I couldn't of asked for a more beautiful experience with two STUNNING dresses at the end of it.

Caroline is such a lovely person, with a beautiful studio! ( in my opinion, much nicer experience than going into an overwhelming shop! ) I love every minute of it!

Thank you Caroline! xxx

Caroline was wonderful! She was very careful adjusting my dress and didn't rush anything to make sure it was the perfect length and fit. It wasn't easy material to work with but she's clearly very skilled and I was so happy with how my dress turned out. She also made me a beautiful bow for my hair out of the off cuts which was exactly the vision I had in mind. See photos of the bow attached 🙂 I'd highly recommend her and I felt confident and taken care of throughout the whole process. Thank you so much Caroline!
