    Caroline altered a dress for my wedding that took place last week and I can't recommend her enough. I had bought my dress and knew I wasn't 100% happy with it and had a vision of what I wanted it to be like in my head and she brought it to life. She's the loveliest and friendliest person and I will miss our appointments. Her studio is absolutely beautiful and gave me so many opportunities to try on and walk around in the dress before the big day. If anyone is considering getting their dress amended or designed and is worried about who they can trust with their dress I can wholeheartedly recommend Caroline, your dress will be in the best hands. Thanks so much Caroline!

    Caroline was amazing at my dress fitting. Friendly, approachable and had some really good suggestions. My dress required quite a lot of taking in and her work was exceptional. I absolutely loved wearing the dress. Thank you Caroline.

    Thank you, Caroline! From the moment I stepped through the door into your beautiful studio, I knew I was in safe hands. You made me feel at ease, provided the most amazing advice and my dress fit like a glove and looked stunning on the day with the most beautiful finishing touches. I was obsessed with the bustle! My alternation appointments were moments of calm in a very busy run-up to the big day. They also importantly allowed me to spend quality time with my mother – and these are some precious memories I will treasure! I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough!

    I am also a bridal designer and dressmaker and when I was starting up my new business Caroline supported and encouraged me. She mentored me by taking me under her wing, allowing me to watch her client fittings and gave me suggestions about pricing, suppliers and business strategies. She also rescued me a couple of times when I was completely stuck! Caroline has been a great mentor to me and I felt that I could literally ask her any question - I still do on occasion! She has an incredible wealth of knowledge that is well worth tapping into and I would recommend her as a great tutor for anyone starting out in the bridal industry.

    I purchased my wedding dress in Cornwall but needed the alterations done closer to my home in Surrey and I am so pleased I did! Caroline is so unbelievably talented and she offered advice where it was needed and also took time to really understand what I wanted. As a result I have the dress of my dreams which I can’t wait to wear in two weeks time! I can not recommend enough, thank you so much xxx

    Caroline hasn't made me a beautiful dress, she has done something even more amazing. She has been my business mentor for the past 2 years helping me get my business off the ground. Caroline has enabled me to focus on my goals, giving me tough love when I am procrastinating and showing me how to face my fears and step up to the next level. Our mentoring walks are the highlight of my week. Thank you Caroline for everything you do, you are an inspiration! For anyone reading this and who is on their solopreneur journey, I highly recommend Caroline as a Business Mentor. Sue

    Being new to the whole experience of a wedding and having a dress altered, I was so nervous that my dress wouldn’t fit, or perhaps it didn’t look as great as I remembered when I bought it months before. Caroline was lovely and absolutely amazing, taking my worries away and helping me feel incredible in my dress. She made me feel so welcome and was excited to see the dress and cape, which made me feel excited too! The alterations made to my dress and cape let me wander around freely on the most incredible day of my life (without tripping up!), feel gorgeous in my dress, and Caroline provided me with the certainty that on my wedding day my dress will fit me, it will look beautiful on me and forever be the dress altered just for me! A wonderful experience! Thank you so much Caroline! Xx

    Caroline was so lovely to work with. She was so understanding when I wanted to change something at the last minute and made me feel so at ease at each fitting. Her finish was immaculate and it meant I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day. Caroline also had some really lovely ideas of how to improve a second hand cardi I got and made it into something that was so special and worked perfectly with my dress. Thank you Caroline xx

    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
