Needles & Sparkles

Tina fixed a hidden zip in my dress after someone else thought it was possibly irreparable and she did a fantastic job! She was quick to respond to my email enquiry, charged a fair price and had the job done within a few days. Very pleased with her work and highly recommend!

Tina has done several pieces of work for me and I have been 100% happy with every one of them. Her quotes have been fairly priced, her work top notch and very professional. Every piece reflects heirloom quality workmanship. I will continue to use her services well into the future. Thanks for your lovely work, Tina!

Tina has just completed a dress and jacket for me for my sons wedding. Her service was outstanding, from helping to choose a design that suited me to coming with me to select the materials. She has an excellent eye for detail and her workmanship is meticulous.

I am a designer and for my project velvet dresses with golden embroidery I started work with TINA SAUNDERS the founder of Needles & Sparkles Wivenhoe UK I have never seen such a horrible work!All threads are coming off! The images are distorted! Crystals fell off! Horrible rude attitude! Unreliable in terms of time. She completely ruined the velvet dresses and denied it. She kept them for 5 months and gave them back to me without fixing and refused to give even a penny for a refund! That is the quote from TINA SAUNDERS EMAIL " I have repeatedly stated my position with regards to yourself and what is becoming harassment, it is not welcome. I request that you stop all communication with me. To be clear I have found you to be highly unprofessional from the very first time we communicated, nothing you supplied was of a standard I am used to working with, perhaps this is your idea of couture: Cheap threads (contra to recommendation) SHE ORDERED THEM AND NEVER RECOMMENDED ANY Beads from a unknown supplier, unfit for purpose SHE ORDERED THEM AND NEVER RECOMMENDED ANY AND THEY ALL FELL OFF Rude! Unprofessional! Bad communicator!
