Custom dress making with existing dress (major alterations)

$5

Sydney, New South Wales

16th Sep 2025

I have a dress that I absolutely love the entire back, and the colour, but the front of the top part is not very flattering for me. I tried to take it to my usual alterations lady but she said (and I agree) this job is going more into custom dress-making territory. As such I am looking for a Sydney-based dress-maker / seamstress who would like to take on this challenge. I have some ideas but am not fixed on what I’d like the front to look like, I am really happy to be flexible and guided by your experience. I need the dress to be hemmed while we are at it, so that also gives us some extra fabric to work with. Budget for consultation Many thanks

Jiya is exactly what I needed… someone show will take on the challenge that other tailors said would be too hard. Thank you Jiya xx
