Hi !
I’m Suzie, and I have a passion for gorgeous fabrics and beautiful styling details, and I am here to help make your gown the wedding dress of your dreams.
As a child growing up, I would watch my grandmum and mum sew everything from denim waistcoats to party dresses, lavender bags and teddy bears.
I remember spending many memorable hours sewing with my mum and leant by simply watching her. I even made my own school uniform just to defy the normal rules.
“I have always loved fashion and fashion history and am particularly inspired by the gowns and fabrics of the 18th century.
Going on to study textiles was a natural progression, and I soon found that working within the bridal industry was where I wanted to take my career.”

Whilst studying a degree in fashion design and technology I worked as a freelance bridal seamstress; fitting, measuring and making bridal gowns. I absolutely loved working with my brides and knew that this was what I wanted to do after graduating.
In 2002 I set up my boutique style fitting studio based at my home, in the pretty village of Lytes Cary, in the heart of Somerset.
Since then, I am proud to say that my
business has grown to be recognised as one of the recommended bridal alterations businesses in the southwest.
I live here with my husband Dave and our daughter Georgia and Pip the border. We love to take short breaks in the beautiful Cotswolds. I am a bit of a foodie so I like to experiment in the kitchen. And really enjoy a good whodunit novel!
I can’t wait to hear your wedding story, and help you turn your dress into your perfect bridal gown.
If you think I might be the one to help you make your
wedding gown perfect,
get in touch and we can chat.
My job is so incredibly rewarding, and not only that because who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by gorgeous dresses every day.
