Marina is incredible! She is so talented, and it was such a treat to have several appointments with her in the run-up to my wedding, as she designed and made my dress. She is so skilled at listening to (or divining!) what you want, and from that, creating your perfect dress. She had a wide range of beautiful fabrics, as well as lots of ideas - she would often say "We can do anything!" I found this freedom so exciting and freeing, after always worrying that I would never find quite the right dress for me. She was also very affirming and positive, always making you feel beautiful and confident. Her attention to detail is also amazing; my dress had a fine silk trim that just made the whole dress so smart. She also very kindly sewed a blue butterfly onto the inside of my dress, so that I would have my "something blue". I would recommend Marina to anyone - thank you so much, Marina! An unforgettable part of my wedding that I wouldn't trade for anything.

What an amazing lady. I cant thank Marina enough. I am the mother of the bride and Marina has made the whole wedding dress experience a dream. My daughter needed her dress altered. We were so nervous where to go as the dress was so special. The moment we met Marina I trusted her completely. She knew exactly what was needed and made us feel relaxed and confident in her work. Marina didnt rush us through the whole process and kindly and generously took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She even made a bespoke veil to match the dress. I cannot recommend marina enough. She is very talented with a beautiful personality to go with it.

Marina is a true artist with a needle. She altered a 30 year old wedding dress for my daughter's wedding which ended up being a perfect mix of old and new and a beautiful fit on the day. When I found a dress but felt the neckline wasn't quite right for me for the occasion Marina couldn't have been more accommodating in agreeing to quickly alter it for me a week before the wedding. And at my request she added two gorgeous rosebuds out of the material she cut off as a nod to my daughter's dress which had two rosebuds on the front. We had such a lovely time talking and laughing in her shop over the few fittings my daughter had and she demonstrated exactly how to do everything to perfection. I can't recommend her highly enough.
