Heather was able to fit me in at the last minute when my dress arrived a size too large. It was a full beaded bodice and she was able to take it in flawlessly so it looked like it came that way. Very nice, professional and relaxed. Would highly recommend.

Heather is amazing!! I entrusted her with my Grandmothers 60year old lace wedding gown and she restored and redesigned it perfectly! Heather seriously knows her stuff and is a pleasure to work with. She is professional, timely, and has amazing attention to detail. My dress is extremely delicate and she managing to make me exactly what I envisioned. I couldn't ask for a better dress maker and I have already recommended her to others. Thanks Heather!!

From the first time I went to see Heather, I was instantly put at ease. I had bought a dress online that was a couple of sizes too big, however it was a very complex/different cut being shorter at the front than the back, high neck, cutout back etc. I was really worried that no-one would be able to make it fit, and I was also concerned that it wouldn't look how it was supposed to look (I didn't want it to look remade). Heather assured me that it would be fine and was so understanding and flexible regarding what I wanted. Heather completely remade the dress to fit me and to suit my body. The dress actually turned out far better than if I bought it off the rack as Heather altered the flower that was attached and added beautiful pearl buttons up the back of the dress. If you want something to be perfect, or you have something complex Heather is the very best person you can take it to in the Melbourne area. I could not be happier with how the dress turned out. Heather turned impossible into possible, and I have received so many comments about my beautiful dress! Thank you Heather- I'm so glad I found you!

Heather transformed my wedding dress to the wedding dress of my dreams. She shortened my really really long trail and added extra diamontes and detailing to the bodice as i requested. Heather is amazing!!

Heather altered my dress which was a size too big to fit perfectly. My dress was a satin sheath with a lace applique overlay by Allure Bridal. I couldn't believe it when it was finished, it didn't even look altered at all. It fit me perfectly. I drove all the way from Ballarat to see Heather and it was well worth it. She also added bra cups which made a huge difference to the look of the dress. I would highly recommend Heather to any bride to be!

Heather is a lovely and talented dressmaker who makes you feel at ease from the very first obligation-free appointment. In just under two months with only four 30-minute fittings, she skilfully refitted my size 10 off-the-rack wedding gown (which was too loose all over) to a figure-hugging size 6. She also made quite a few other alterations to make my gown just perfect, such as adding chiffon straps and bra cups, rehemming and bustling the train in two ways, as well as detaching and concealing an empire-line satin band and seam. Her quality craftsmanship and attention to detail satisfied even my extremely fussy godmother, who is very knowledgeable and experienced in clothesmaking. And I felt so beautiful and got many compliments about the gown on my wedding day! What made this such a stress-free experience (in contrast to other places I visited) was that Heather really listens to you, makes great suggestions without overwhelming you with unnecessary information, and is upfront with an honest quote without hidden extras. Heather herself is reliable, reassuring, and such a lovely lady. The price may be a bit more than going to your local alterations store, but is very reasonable (and unexpected) for such professionalism, expertise, and quality. I highly recommend Heather to any bride-to-be!

Heather did a beautiful job of altering my second hand Vera Wang Diana wedding dress to fit me like a glove. She is very patient, knowledgeable, creative, and highly recommended to all. Affordable too!

I bought my wedding dress online - it was too long, and the bust area was too loose. Heather altered this for me to fit me perfectly. As the end of my train was all lace, she had to unpick the the edge and re-attach it (I don't know the proper term). It was a lot of work for her- but it worked out perfectly! Heather is very professional (and friendly) and put me at ease through the whole process (it was totally hassle free). She also fixed the bust for me and made it so my dress could be bustled. I would highly recommend her to any bride who needs their dress altered!

Heather turned my simple dress into a beautiful bridal gown. she offered her expertise and advice and was honest and reliable.

AMAZING!
I can highly recommend Heather.
Heather custom made my bridal gown for my wedding which was in October 2014.
I came to her with a few pictures from the internet wanting the top half from one, the skirt of another and some sleeve options.
As soon as we sat down she asked me a few questions and then just drew up a design for me!
It was perfect!
From there it was just so easy, all appointments where arranged and each stage was discussed with me.
The payment options were simple and spaced out which is great when you are paying for a wedding.
I found her to be very reasonably priced specially given I would not have been able to buy such a dress in a shop.
Heather has just such a keen eye and the greatest compliment I received on my wedding day was that the dress was ‘just me'!
