Seamstress with a vision

Hi Brides-to-Be,
Let me introduce you to my beautiful bride Caitlin 💕. She visited 10 different bridal stores all across Sydney searching for the dress — and by the time she came to me last October, she was starting to feel frustrated and disheartened.
Caitlin has a K-cup bust and was genuinely concerned she wouldn’t find a dress that made her feel both comfortable and stunning. During her appointment, I encouraged her to try on Pia by Madi Lane. While my sample was too small, she was able to visualise the magic once it was tailored to her body.
We made several thoughtful customisations:
- Added extra lace to build up the front sides for better coverage and no bust overhang
- Pulled in the centre front to reduce gapping
- Added extra boning, lace, and darts to cinch the waist and balance her silhouette
- Finished the back with hook-and-eyes for structure, since the zip ended at the skirt
As both her stylist and seamstress, Caitlin felt a lot of trust in me — and it shows in her final look. 💫
Below before and after — proof of what’s possible when you're styled by someone who truly understands fit, not just fashion.
There’s a big difference between being styled by a seamstress versus a sales assistant — especially when it comes to fuller busts. Caitlin said most shops didn’t know what to put her in. But with the right guidance, she got her dream dress and looked incredible.

Every bride deserves to feel seen, supported, and absolutely stunning. ❤️
