Fantastic service and lovely lady :)

What a lovely little shop this is! Fantastic service from start to finish, Sue made it the most lovely and enjoyable experience with altering my wedding dress! Remarkable job, Sue sorted my straps out and the length of my dress absolutely perfectly! Made me feel so confident on my blessing day :) I would recommend to anyone!

Brilliant, innovative service

I came to Sue towards the end of last year as I was due to perform in a Christmas, pantomime style production as Queen Elsa. I had ordered a dress online, which turned out to be terrible quality when it arrived. Sue gave the dress an overhaul, completely replacing the bottom half and attaching some better quality fur around the collar, all in a very short space of time and I was delighted with the results. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Excellent Service Every Time

Sue has made and altered special occasion / expensive clothes for me during the last two years. She has an impeccable eye for detail and excellent tailoring and dressmaking skills. A bonus is that she's always a pleasure to deal with too!

Could not recommend more

Sue is a master of her craft. She has transformed my wedding gown into a bespoke piece that I can’t wait to show off! Sue went over and above to turn my vision into a reality. She is a warm-hearted, kind lady who is customer centred and takes a genuine interest in you. Impeccable service with precision finishes which reflect Sue’s passion for fabrics and dress making.

She can literally do anything you ask, practically remade my daughters wedding dress and the viel, I have never seen such professionalism and exquisite craftsmanship, not only is she extremely talented, she is a gorgeous, kind,patient lady.
We made a new friend when we met Sue, we’re actually going to miss our visits to her unit ☹️.

Best designer & dressmaker, goes above and beyond with skills.

A wonderful designer and dressmaker. Goes above and beyond with customers. Very talented and skilled in what she does. Has designed and made many of my dresses for my graduations, special birthdays and is my regular seamstress. Amazing service. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

A professional and perfect service with a personal touch

A wonderful lady who goes above and beyond to make sure you feel amazing on your wedding day - and in my case she did exactly that ! I was lucky enough to have Sue alter my wedding dress and she even came to our wedding venue on the morning of my wedding to dress me - which was a huge relief for me as the back of my dress had a corset fastening, which I really wanted doing properly. Sue was always so kind and positive during our fittings and made me feel so beautiful in my dress. On my wedding day she made me feel amazing and I'm so grateful to her for that. I recommend Sue to all brides to be - she offers a service which is personable, friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for any dress or outfit alterations.

Simply the best!

Sue did the alterations for my wedding dress. I was a little nervous as they were such an important (and complicated!) set of alterations, but there was really no need. Sue is simply fantastic- professional, talented, skilled and experienced. She put me instantly at ease on my first appointment. Every fitting was calm, focussed and not rushed, and it was great to see my dream dress come to life. Sue also did my Mums alterations for her Mother of the Bride dress too which again was perfect. Thank you so much!

First class professional friendly service

I have no hesitation in recommending Sue for her talented work, as a dressmaker and seamstress.
She put me at ease on our first meeting with her experience and
pleasant approach. The dress I had bought for my neices wedding was I felt wearing me rather than me wearing the dress. Sue totally understood and altered it just as I wished. Therefore I had no hesitation in her altering my daughter's bridesmaids dresses.
Her talent in designing and making any outfit you wish is to perfection.


Thank you Sue

Sue gamesby

Sue made my wedding dress from scratch. The communication with sue was amazing along the way we had a few little issues with the dress but nothing was a problem for sue working longer hours to make sure the dress was perfect for me. And my goodness it sure was perfect.

Exquisite service and outstanding talent

I can not recommend Sue Gamesby enough! Not only is she an exceptional designer, she is an impeccable dressmaker. The highest level of craftsmanship goes into every design she creates. As Sue is highly experienced and talented, she not only altered my bridesmaid dresses but my page boy suits and also an amazing costume for my hen party! If you have a vision of what you want creating, Sue Gamesby is the person who will turn those dreams into reality. Thanks again!
