From a couture gown to a favourite pair of jeans, every garment is given the same precision and the same finish. There is no price list; each piece is considered, and priced, at its fitting.

Bridal gowns

Evening and formal

A gown that fits beautifully lets you forget the dress and simply enjoy the evening. Ball season books quickly, so reserve your fitting early.

  • Evening and cocktail dresses
  • Formal gowns for weddings and events
  • Hems, straps, taking in and letting out

Each gown is considered, and priced, at its fitting.
