Hi, I'm Claire!
Hi, I'm Claire and I moved to Crosby in Liverpool with my husband (who’s from Waterloo) in May 2021. We met while I was in my first fashion job at Burberry, and I spent the next 16 years working in London as a designer at various retailers on the high street such as New Look, River Island, M&S and Dorothy Perkins.
My Story
I’m originally from a small town in Warwickshire called Nuneaton and I studied Fashion Design at the University of Central England in Birmingham. I always wanted to be a fashion designer and remember making “catalogues” as a kid with my own fashion drawings and the help of a fashion wheel! Anyone remember them? While most students carried on with Fashion Design in the final year, I chose to specialise in Product Development and graduated with Honours in 2005. I was lucky enough to secure a job at Burberry during my final year and so shortly after graduating I moved to London.
At Burberry we would often study patterns in fittings to identify how and why a garment may not fit correctly. As with most high- fashion houses, the attention to fit was meticulous and this enabled me to take away an invaluable skill set that I have used in every job since. I think that's where my love of garment construction and fit really began and due to my perfectionist nature I’ve been obsessed ever since!
I decided to take the leap and set up my own studio and alterations service service shortly after moving to Liverpool in 2021. My first customers were friends and family and its grown organically since then by word of mouth. I have met so many lovely people who have supported me over the last few years and feel so grateful to have created a community of loyal customers (some of which have become friends), coming back time after time.
It really does fill me with joy to see a customer looking and feeling amazing in a garment I have altered or transformed.
Why work with me?
So why choose me? Well, I offer a friendly, personal and reliable service that’s not only reasonably priced but great value for money. I invite clients to attend a one-to-one complimentary styling & fitting consultation to discuss their needs and requirements in the privacy of my home studio. I can also visit you at home if you are within the local area and are stuck for time or are struggling with the kids.
I give you honest advice, & with more than 20 years industry experience, I can help you achieve the perfect fit. I have quickly gained a reputation with my clients for outstanding customer service, and meticulous attention to detail. I am fully committed to providing a unique experience tailored for you, altering your garment to perfection. You will receive a no obligation estimate of the work involved after your fitting , updates and photos on the status of your order and for an additional small fee I also offer delivery of your newly transformed garment to your door. I know your schedule is busy so I also offer out-of-hour fittings in the evenings and at weekends.
If you’re in need of a clothing alteration, repair or restyle I can help. I work with most types of garments for men and women from casual everyday pieces to prom, bridesmaid and occasion. Customer satisfaction is always my priority and I pride myself in the quality of my work and making you feel amazing!
