Custom Couture Dressmaking and Tailoring

Custom garments look and feel beautiful. Many people have never experienced the magic of clothing that fits perfectly: no matter your body type, a well proportioned garment designed just for you flatters like nothing else. 

What makes a garment "couture"?

Couture is the French word for sewing, but it also means a little bit more. Couture means attention to detail, precision sewing techniques, and excellence in craftsmanship and artistry. My 30 years of sewing experience and my interest in developing the best possible techniques to construct and finish a garment mean the garment will be made impeccably and last for many years to come.

How does the design process work?

Every design begins with a consultation to discuss what the client is looking for in terms of garment occasion, color palette, fit requests, and design details. Some clients already have a very precise idea of what they are looking for, others like to "shop" a bit for inspiration. Once the client decides to move forward with a design, I will provide a simple sketch and begin a personalized muslin fitting before beginning work on the actual garment.
