Services

A tailored look

A suit tailored to your individual body shape will look more stylish, smarter and sexier than any off-the-peg item. Barbara’s affordable bespoke tailoring service means you can own well-cut, high-quality items without breaking the bank.

Special occasion dressing

Beautiful bride? Talk of the party? If you need a special outfit, Barbara will work with your style preferences to produce a dress that will make the most of your natural assets and the least of the body parts you’d rather hide!

The ultimate in costume

Theatre costume, fancy-dress, murder mystery, halloween? Barbara will use her imagination and dress-making skills to create an original costume that will wow the audience whatever the event.

Making more of your wardrobe

Nothing to wear? Ask Barbara to visit your home for a fun session working through your wardrobe. She will open your eyes to the colours and styles of clothing and jewellery that work best, and put together unexpected items to make up stylish outfits.

Perfect the fit of your clothes

If your favourite dress is not quite fitting as it used to, or you’ve bought pair of trousers that would benefit from being taken in, out, up or down, Barbara will alter your garments so that you can wear them with confidence.

Extend your wardrobe

Trying to choose an outfit for a particular occasion? Or just want to find out once and for all what really suits you? Barbara will take you on an entertaining and educational shopping trip. She’ll give you advice on the styles and tones that suit you, and help you pick out items that work well together.

A production service for designers

Barbara will work closely with you to produce a small run (maximum 10 per week) including the relevant patterns and samples. The resulting garments will be made to the exacting standards you would have made them, if only you’d had the time!
