Alterations Price List

HEMS
Simple machine hem - $15
Full circle/multiple layers/curtains - $20-30

Complex (tailored garments, linings etc) - $30-60

ZIPPERS

BRA CUPS
Push ups applied - $25

LEATHER WORK also available within capability

Please note some jobs simply can’t be executed because of the way they were constructed. For example if the garment has no side seams it’s impossible to let it out too much. I can do custom jobs such as adding panels but quotes will be less defined. You may need to pay for a consultation for complex alteration quotes.

Thank you,
With love

I’m currently offering ALTERATIONS services from my home studio in Ballajura.

It's great to see one of our long term fashion development projects hit the national news. It's so nice to work on a meaningful project that showcases our wonderful Aboriginal Artists in the North of Western Australia.

Outback passion for fashion connects young people with their ancient country Indigenous artists in Western Australia's East Kimberley talk up the future potential of fashion design, as young people explore new ways of expressing one of the oldest cultures on earth.

I once worked on an heirloom wedding gown. It wasfirst made in the 1800’s from French Lace for a Scottish lady and passed down through the generations. The family had a book published with their family history and had photos of each bride wearing the dress.

By the time I had the honour of working on it, the latest bride was so much taller than those before her. I had to tea-dye some suitable lace to match the dress and sew along the hemline to make it longer. I also made an under-gown as a stand-alone piece that she could wear for the reception as the lace part was too precious.

I loved that job so much and the bride and the mother sent me a lovely card to thank me.

When the exhibition of “100 years of Wedding Gowns” was in town it was fascinating to see the progression of styles and techniques. But most interestingly the height and shoe size difference. Women now are like giantesses compared with the doll-like proportions of 100 years ago. Must be all the protein we eat now?

Bride Will Be the 11th Woman in Her Family to Wear 120-Year-Old Heirloom Wedding Dress When it came to finding "something old" to wear to her wedding, Pennsylvania native Abigail Kingston didn't have to look beyond her family tree. The

Regarding the 5 day lockdown announced in Perth: it will be business as usual for us. We’ve been working remotely for 8 years now and have no plans to stop now. Stay home and stay safe people! 🖤🍒

Every week we have so many questions from our wonderful clients about the intricacies of starting and producing a product or label. So we thought we would start publishing these online so everyone benefits. Sooo....

Question 1:
"How much does a Tech Pack cost?"

Tech Packs are costed differently dependent on:

• The design – level of detail in the garment, size range, whether there are lots of graphics, labelling or hardware requirements;
• Place of manufacture - off-shore needs more detailed information;
• Whether you have a pattern or fit sample to take measurements and details from - if we make the pattern it's quicker and easier for us to take accurate measurements and there’s no guess work (plus you have ownership and better control over the quality of your own patterns!)
• How much information you provide – if you know exactly what you want and can provide semi-technical info such as general measurements, all the branding, folding and packaging, pantone colour codes, construction information then there’s less for us to consider.

For these reasons we really need to see and discuss your project. We can of course help you with all of these aspects.

That being said, the minimum cost for our Tech Packs is $350. Super complex Tech Packs can be up around the $1800 mark.

To put it into perspective there’s a huge difference in technicality and risk between a baby beanie made for a small MOQ start-up, versus an ARC flash protective uniform for the mine site environment, produced in 1000’s that literally protect people’s lives! 

We’ve been giving the old faithful a run over the last few weeks!

We have recently started working with Elope Bridal here in Perth, Western Australia. The dresses are designed for brides who would like to wear something more versatile on their special day, a dress that can be worn again and again in different contexts.

It would be wonderful if we can get some likes and shares in support of local designers and makers :)

With gratitude,
