"It was an absolute pleasure to create my dream wedding dress with Kim. She made creating my custom dress a stress-free process from the start to the finish. She included me in all design aspects from the 3D markup, frequent progress check-ins, to finally the day of pickup. Which made for a truly memorable and exciting experience.

Kim has a talented eye for finer details and exceeded all my expectations. She made sure every thing I wanted would be brought to life. I enjoyed the process of creating my wedding dress more than I ever thought I could.. and it's all thanks to Kim. Would highly recommend this lovely lady to create your perfect piece for your special day."

"Working with Kim on my wedding dress was a dream. From our very first meeting she knew exactly how to turn my vision into a reality.

Her attention to detail gave me all the confidence that my dress would be like no other and give the wow factor I was looking for, all while remaining elegant timeless and one of a kind.

Thank you so much Kim for your beautiful work on a dress I will never forget."

"Kim is a magician. I bought a wedding dress that needed substantial alterations, and with a few pins, she helped me see what it would look like.

Throughout the fitting process, she instinctively knew what needed to be done to make my dress fit absolutely perfectly. She was even able to make hair pieces out of the left over dress material for myself and my bridesmaids!

When I floated the idea of creating a pair of shorts to change into for the reception, she didn't hesitate to offer to help. She worked with me to create my dream shorts, first by making a calico, helping me find the right material, before presenting me with the final product!

She is not only professional and prompt, but also warm, and just a lovely person to work with. I cannot recommend her services highly enough."

"I could not recommend Kim enough for wedding dress alterations! She completed alterations on my wedding dress (with not a lot of notice) and wow was she amazing! She knew the dress and fabric so well that when dropping the dress off I felt incredibly relaxed.

Kim is so kind, warm and absolutely knows what she is doing. I will definitely be recommending Kim to all my friends and family as the experience was great.
Kim, thank you so much for your amazing work!"

"Kim is amazing, and I have learnt insane amounts from her extensive knowledge of the fashion industry.

In a time where there isn’t as large of an emphasis on construction of garments due to fast fashion it’s so rare to be able to be tutored by someone who knows so much knowledge of garment construction and patternmaking.

She saves me again and again sewing but never makes me feel ashamed for missing knowledge as she is so kind and encouraging during the tutoring process.

Kim is a must if you want to take your skills to the next level."
