Everyone deserves to have clothes they love: clothes that fit their body, are comfortable, and make them feel good.

Until recently, all clothes were made to fit their wearer, whether it was a luxsury custom gown made by a trained seamstress, or a basic shirt simply stitched together for personal wear.

Clothes were also made to be adjustable, to shift and change with our bodies as we naturally gain and lose weight or change shape due to any number of reasons.

Most importantly: clothes were not meant to be disposable.

Fast fashion has taken over, putting many of us in a cycle of buying clothes, hoping they'll be everything we need, and then tossing them once they fall out of style, or don't fit correctly, or become damaged.

I want to help you love the clothes you have, and keep the clothes you love.

Let me take the dress you love but can't wear, the shirt you wear but don't love, and the pants you bought but never wear and turn it into something that makes you happy when you wear it out!

Scroll down to browse examples of my work, and reach out when you're ready to start transforming the clothes you have into clothes you love wearing.
