Bespoke Bridal
You’ve found the perfect gown, now you need the perfect fit!
I know from experience that feeling 100% confident, comfortable, and beautiful in your wedding dress is one of the most important factors of your wedding day. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating the perfect fit, I have the skill to tailor your gown to your exact specifications.
From corset sculpting, hemming and bustling, to intricate beadwork, lace appliques and custom veils – together, we can make your wedding dress dreams come true.
My priority is to always create a positive, luxury experience while executing the highest quality alterations. Weddings hold a special place in my heart and I’m passionate about making my brides look and feel amazing on their special day!
Custom Keepsakes
As an extremely sentimental person, I always dreamt of having a part of my grandmother close to me on my wedding day. Using the beaded lace fabric from her wedding gown, I created a ring pillow, bridal clutch, and garter. These custom keepsakes were my perfect “something old” that I will cherish for years to come.
Whether it’s a clutch, ring pillow, garter, bridal robe, makeup case, custom veil, or simply a piece of fabric sewn into your gown, I can incorporate your keepsake into your special day.

About Me
My journey began at a young age with a simple passion for sewing. Both my grandmothers were expert seamstresses and great sources of inspiration. As a child, I was always eager to soak up all they could teach me. I started out making simple pouches, pillows and eyeglass cases – falling in love with the tradition, old-school craftsmanship, and attention to detail of these simple projects. As I got older, I graduated from hand sewing to a sewing machine and shifted my focus to making clothing. It was the excitement and pride of seeing someone feeling confident in one of my garments that got me hooked.
I went on to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology, majoring in womenswear design (patternmaking, couture sewing, leatherwork, and sportswear) and spent 2 years studying in Italy honing my craft at Polimoda in Florence and Politecnico di Milano. I immersed myself in the culture of my Italian heritage, working with high-end materials and luxury brands. Here, I felt more connected than ever to the spirit of my grandmothers and the time-honored skills they taught me.
Upon returning to NYC to graduate with a BFA in 2016, my thesis collection was featured
in FIT’s Future Of Fashion Show. I was selected to receive the prestigious Critic’s Choice Award for excellence in design, fit, and craftsmanship from bridal and eveningwear designer, Dennis Basso.
Throughout my career, I have come to understand that the most important factor in
feeling confident and looking your best is a well-fitting garment. We all have unique, ever-changing bodies that deserve to be celebrated in our clothing. A well-tailored garment
can change your whole demeanor, whether it be your favorite pair of jeans or your
wedding gown. Alterations create a polished look, accentuate your features, increase garment longevity, and create a personalized bespoke wardrobe.
My tailoring experience ranges from intricate lace wedding gowns and beaded evening
dresses, to perfectly fitted suit jackets, leather garments, denim, athletic performance apparel and everything in between. I am passionate about bringing what some may call a “dying art” to you and your closet.
