Altered a dress superbly on short notice for a wedding in another state. Most happy with the speed and quality of service

Heather is very experienced and helpful. She gave a lot of advice and recommendations and worked around my short timelines! Highly recommend!

I had purchased a dress that was too small, and way too showy in the front - as well as being too long etc as my wedding dress. I found Heather via the internet and felt comfortable with her from the first time I met with her. She did an amazing job on my dress and made it into my dream dress for my wedding. She is obviously talented in what she does and is very knowledgeable - my dress was a linen/gold thread weave and she worked well with this tricky fabric! I would not hesitate to recommend Heather to those who are looking at getting a special dress made, or tailored to fit. My only complaint was that she was located so far away from where I live, and from the Melbourne CBD - but the quality of her work made this a non-issue for me - happy to travel when I am getting what I want!

Heather fixed my wedding dress when it was not looking all that great. She fixed the dress so it fit perfectly which was great for someone like me who is a bigger girl and struggles for feel great about any article of clothing, but now i feel like a princess.
Thank you for your care and advice. You are simply amazing.

i had my wedding dress made by Heather and i couldn't be happier!!!!!! on the first fitting i had with her the dress fitted perfectly, when i called asking if i could make a few tweaks with the final design Heather was wonderful and did them straight away followed by a phone call to reassure me everything went to plan. Highly recommended and her dress skills are beyond excellent!!!! so happy with the final product and she is just generally a lovely person to deal with!!!!! thank you!!!!

Heather was fantastic. I took a sketch of the wedding dress I wanted and a fabric sample (silk velvet) and she made some fantastic suggestions to improve my design. She then took my measurements and made the dress with three fittings. I was very nervous as silk velvet is probably one of the hardest fabrics you could sew and is not a fabric that you can rip out the seam and stitch again if you make a mistake. Heather did a wonderful job, and also agreed to make my bridesmaids dress at the last minute.

Having made my flower girls dress myself out of the same fabric, I know how hard the velvet was to sew and I'm sure Heather earned every dollar that she charged me.

She also did a wonderful job making a wedding dress for my bridesmaid which was also on very short notice.

Having had my dressmaker quit on me just before my wedding, I jumped on the phone and found Heather. She got to making my dress very quickly and completely to my directions. I was really happy with her professional manner. The dress itself was lovely and she was very helpful in getting me to choose suitable fabrics etc. Her prices are reasonable and she has lots of experience. Heather works out of her home and has a studio downstairs. It has a homely feel, but you are guaranteed to get a beautiful dress for a good price.

Heather was fantastic. I had a very stressful service experience with the store that I bought the dress from, that I found Heather's alternation service not only individual, highly expertised, flexible, and also relaxed. Heather is so knowledgable in traditional dress making that she made two of my dresses look tailor made. Her workshop is at her home, so she is not restricted by business operating hours, or store policies. She is very flexible based on your needs. You can tell Heather prides on her trade. Overall I was extremely happy with the outcome (this may have possibly been because my previous experience was so poor). Because she is quite good, I think you do pay for it. But her prices where not unreasonable, and she gives obligation free quotes. My friend ended up going to Heather as well, similarly very pleased with the result.
