Bridal Alterations & Contract Curtains in Brighton Marina

Italian craftsmanship for brides, homes, hotels and interior designers.

Our top tip:

Get to know your tailor (we hope that’s us!)

We’re a Brighton workroom with two specialisms: bridal alterations and bespoke curtains.

Brides trust us to fit their wedding dress perfectly for the big day. Interior designers, architects and homeowners trust us to turn ambitious designs into beautifully made curtains, from luxurious fabrics and complex headings to bespoke linings and fine detailing.

We’ve worked with names including Debenhams, Wed2B and Gresham Blake. Every piece is precision-cut, made and finished in-house, because quality, proportion and the perfect fit make all the difference.

About me

My name is Alma, and sewing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by talented seamstresses – my mum, grandma, and aunties – who taught me to sew before I even learned to read.

I trained in both traditional and modern techniques while working in my mother’s Atelier, and later studied Engineering in Milan. But my heart was always with tailoring, and I returned to it the moment I could.

My mission is to bring luxury Italian tailoring to the UK, using the precision and artistry I learned in Milan to help people look and feel their best. I see every day how perfectly fitted clothing transforms confidence and charisma – it’s more than just fabric; it’s how you carry yourself.

Now based in Brighton, I specialise in wedding dress alterations, suit tailoring, and bespoke projects that elevate your unique style.
