Heather was an absolute god send during my wedding. She altered my super detailed, heavily beaded, fit and flare Sottero and Midgley wedding dress which was 4 sizes too big, to look like it was made for me all along!

From the very first consultation I knew I was in safe hands and that my wedding dress was one thing I no longer needed to worry about. She made me feel comfortable through every step and went above and beyond to make sure my dress was absolutely perfect! Heather is phenomenally skilled, attentive to detail, professional, passionate for what she does and genuinely cares for her clients.

Heather schedules all your fitting appointments early on so you know exactly what to expect and when. Her pricing is also more than reasonable for all of this along with the quality and peace of mind you get from her service.

Thoroughly recommend to any bride!
Thank you Heather!!!

Heather was friendly and professional from the very first enquiry I sent her in regards to altering a gown I had bought off the rack. She was genuinely excited for my wedding and I admired her philosophy that no matter what the dress costs, achieving the perfect fit to make you feel beautiful on your special day was of utmost importance. Fittings were well organised in advance and a courtesy reminder was always sent by Heather which was very helpful when you don't see each other for weeks at a time. Heather has a cheerful but calm and relaxed approach which makes you feel confident about the final fitting. The transformation my gown took on was pretty minor but it made all the difference and fit me like a glove in the end thanks to Heather's keen eye for detail. Lastly, a special thank you to Heather for reshuffling an appointment time due to a last minute event I had on!

Thank you Heather for altering my dress. I’m so happy with it! My dress fits perfectly and sits nicely on my body! Your attention to detail is much appreciated.

Perfectionist! Heather re designed and altered a basic dress and created a beautiful bridal gown that is absolutely stunning! She loves what she does and treats every dress and bride with the utmost care.

Heather altered my vintage wedding gown to perfection. She clearly loves her work and treats every dress as special and unique. I had complete confidence from the beginning that she would do a wonderful job and her work exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Heather to anyone needing alterations to their wedding gown, particularly if it’s a vintage gown.

Heather is incredible! Her work on both of my wedding dresses were beyond my expectations. Heather altered a fitted lace gown & a beaded bodice tulle gown I worn on my wedding day. I was so happy with the end result look of both dresses. She is amazing at what she does & creates a really relaxed & comfortable environment in her work space. You & your dress/es are in safe hands with Heather!

Heather is amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable, beautiful and special and WOW can she make your vision come to life! My wedding dress was 70% “there” - I liked it but I didn’t love it. I wanted a few things changed and some bling added. It also needed to be taken in and up to fit me like a glove.

I’m not someone who often wears dresses or feels pretty in them. So it’s a big deal to me to actually feel beautiful and comfortable in a dress - and this is all thanks to Heather!

Heather listened to all of my ideas and weaved her magic and I couldn’t be happier. It’s exactly what I always wanted. I’ll be telling every bride to go and see her!

Heather is amazing at what she does. Her attention to detail and wealth of knowledge in dress making made my vintage wedding dress restoration an enjoyable and smooth process. I felt fabulous wearing my mum's 40 year old wedding gown on the big day making it my own thanks to Heather.

I had a wedding gown made to measure by a very reputable boho-style dress designer in Queensland. It featured a stretch lace bodice, which I thought would increase the likelihood of it fitting well. However, after four months in production, when it arrived in Melbourne, it did not fit me at all! It was too long and loose in the bodice, the skirt was too heavy and swamped my short frame, and it was just unflattering in every way. I was so upset! I considered starting again with a new dress, but neither time nor money were on my side. I decided to search for a talented dressmaker in order to seek advice about whether or not the dress was salveagble. I found Heather Sellick, who clearly had a strong reputation, and contacted her to see if she would be willing to at least have a look at the dress and give her opinion. She was super busy, as the spring wedding season had just begun, but wanting to help, she squeezed me in for a consultation anyway. As soon as I met her, and put the dress on, I knew she was going to be able to fix my dress. She immediately knew what all of the problems were with it and how to fix it! It was like she was reading my mind. She pinned me in, pulled things up and down, and I was able to visualise the potential outcome. I left the dress in her very capable hands, and returned for several fittings over a period of a few weeks, while she deconstructed and reconstructed the entire dress to fit and flatter my figure. I picked my dress up today, with only a few weeks until my wedding, and I could not be happier! I think I am generally a pretty fussy person when it comes to clothing, but I am absolutely in love with this dress and I cannot wait to wear it! I highly recommend Heather to anyone who has purchased a gown that they are unhappy with. She has an impeccable eye, understands exactly how to shape and structure fabrics to flatter the body, and does flawless alterations. She is also a very warm and engaging person to spend time with. In short, Heather is the best! Go with Heather! :)

Heather is awesome!
With her keen eye for detail combined with her superb skills she sculpted my dresses to my bodyshape.
I was totally at ease with her and know that the results will be great. She has great technique and on all of my three dresses she managed to do a great job.
I had a fully lace wedding dress, a satin cheongsam and a sequins dress. She is on point and never misses a detail and not to forget very affordable too.
I highly recommend using her servicss because besides all of the above she is lovely to deal with!
