The craftsmanship here is exceptional!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiona was so good at understanding my wedding dress concept… she did it perfectly, beautifully and on time! THANK YOU FIONA!!!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiona made it all very easy. She was altering an expensive Moschino suit for me that I purchased second hand - which had already been altered very badly. She paid attention to what she found, undid the mess it was - and tailored them to the perfect fit and length (for my shortness)! She also noticed and repaired a dodgy fastener on them saving me later drama and fuss! Recommended! A+Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The loveliest people who genuinely cared and wanted to help my jeans fit right for me!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiona was kind enough to give me multiple fittings for a dress alteration on short notice, and charged less than I had expected to pay. I wanted a very fitted bodice, and was very happy with the outcome.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiona is such a skilled seamstress who really understands clothes. I’ve taken in multiple items for adjustments, including very fussy crochet piece, and she did an excellent job with fitting. She has en eye for the small details that set her apart, and she is our go-to. Thanks Fiona:)Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is hands down the best tailor and best alterations in wellington. Fiona is unbelievably talented with an eye for detail. I brought in my 3 piece wedding suit that I had custom made but the company totally botched it and I had 3 days before the wedding! Fiona swooped in and saved the day with a tenacious mentality to make sure i was happy with the final look. She went to great lengths to fix anything I didn't like, went above and beyond with little details and even picked out things I couldn't see and fixed them. She put functionality, genius and talent together and sent me on my way with something im so happy with now. She's not only super intelligent with garment, fabric and structural needs of an outfit but is also a blast to hang with. I wouldn't choose anyone else to tailor a suit, dress or anything in wellington. Forever thankful!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My girlfriend loves this shop and tells me about it all the time. She won’t stop talking about it. She loves supporting small business and this seems to be her new favourite place in all Wellington.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiona recreated an entire outfit of 'rational' clothing worn by Māori dress reformers in the early 1900s for me - with nothing more than a photo to go off. It fit perfectly, looked great and made an impression on the audience I had it made for. Thanks FionaPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiona is wonderful at what she does and made the process very easy and chill. I loved the top I got, highly recommend for fans of historical fashion and costuming.
