Technical Skill
Maria’s artistic skill is evident in all her beautiful designs, but her incredible technical skill is key in achieving a perfect, flattering and proportionate fit for every Client. Whether your curves are petite or voluptuous you can be assured of the perfection of fit that can only be achieved when a garment is entirely made to measure.
Bridal Designs
Maria’s Brides are assured of a perfect and unique design with every detail tailored to their exact preference. She offers a luxurious, once in a life time Couture experience, far removed from the mass market. Many of her Clients are mature Brides, seeking a sophisticated alternative to many of the options currently available.
Mother of the Bride
Maria’s designs for Mothers of the Bride and Groom are feminine and luxurious but always with a contemporary edge. Her attention to detail is second to none and designs always feature those eye catching touches which make them unique.
Plus Size Mother of the Bride
Plus size women are often ignored by the Fashion industry but Maria has always been determined that all her designs are completely inclusive and available for all. Before setting up her own Studio she was Head Designer at Florentyna Dawn in Stockport where she developed her skills in producing figure flattering silhouettes for even the most voluptuous of ladies. There are no upper or lower size limits and all Clients are assured of the same perfect fit.
