I purchased a gown from the US and needed it to be resized about 5-6 inches bigger. I thought it was a write off and I would have to look for another dress!
Heather made me feel so comfortable and gave a number of options that I could choose from to proceed with. She was approachable, reliable and her standard of work is absolutely incredible.
I cannot recommend Heather enough!!!

Heather is amazing! Her work is high in quality and so is her serivce. Heather had a huge job altering my dress and always made me feel at ease. She took my dress in from a size 16 to a size 8!!! She also made major alterations to my dress such as changing the lace up back to a zip and buttons and also by romoving the train from my dress. I couldnt be happier! She has exceeded my expectations and i am very happy with the result. Cant wait to wear my dress :)

Heather was amazing, I am so happy with the alterations to my dress, it looks perfect now. I previously had a disasterous experience with another dressmaker, so bad that I took my dress back and sought a second opinion on the alterations I needed (Heather's). Heather assured me that the dress would look amazing, that nothing would be a problem for her, and that the alterations would be done in time (as I was running out of time by then!). As soon as I put the dress on for my first fitting, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and would make my dress fit perfectly for my wedding day. I now have a dress that looks good and will feel great on the day, as opposed to one I would have been embarrassed to wear all day if I'd stuck with the first dressmaker. While Heather charged more than the first quote I received, she did significantly more work and to a much higher degree of quality, so it really was better value overall. I'm really happy with the dress now and would recommend Heather to anyone.

Heather was lovely, she was very thorough and competent, I asked her too take my wedding gown in two sizes and make a french lace bolero.
Both of these tasks were quite difficult because my wedding gown was made of silk chiffon, beaded french lace and a satin underlay, she had to make quite drastic changes to these very delicate fabrics and she did so beautifully. My gown fits beautifully, it was a very reasonable price and she was polite and professional throughout.

My mum is also a dress maker, but due to health reasons, I didn't ask her to alter my wedding dress. Additionally, after going through a spell of bad luck with retailers going into liquidation and hence losing faith with vendors, my disposition was instantly changed when I engaged Heather for the alterations work. Heather's cheerful personality and honest opinion made all the difference.

For my gown, Heather made some small alteration on the neck line to suit my proportions, brought up the hem and created a bustle. Using my own supply of guipure lace, Heather also made a lace jacket on my request that was modelled after a couple of styles I had found online. Given the style of the dress I had, the lace jacket Heather created was to proportion and paired together very well.

Heather also made some small alternations to a BM dress I had bought on line.

Considering that I grew up wearing clothes made by mum, I am very fussy with cut and quality of the assembly. I have seen the work of many substandard tailors and for this reason, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Heather. A dressmaker worth their salt knows how to handle and work with different fabric types - and Heather has this in abundance, which is reflected by the final product.

Thank you Heather for all your help and early morning appointments. I shall definite send you photos :)

Heather did a full reconstruction of I dress I bought for $100, it's now perfectly fitted with beautiful little touches of beading and pearls down the zip.....perfectly hemmed and looks like I bought it from an expensive bridal couture store. My dress is one of a kind and Heather was always accommodating and with so many years experience she knew exactly what I wanted. It's beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the service, craftsmanship and final product. Thank-you so much Heather! :) xoxo

Heather was absolutely incredible with what she did with my wedding dress. I bought a cheap dress off the internet and it needed a lot of re-working and fitting, I wasn't entirely sure that anyone could make it into was I was hoping for. I took it to Heather and as soon as I put it on, she knew exactly what to do to make it my dream dress. She was so efficient and positive, I was instantly relieved and knew that it was in the best hands. After only 4 fittings, my dress was completed and could not have been more perfect. Heather Sellick is amazing! COULD NOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!!

Heather was FANTASTIC, I had some difficulties with my wedding dress, as the company I bought it from went into Liquidation. By the time I finally recieved my dress I was pushing for time with the alterations. Heather reassured that she still had time to make the alterations by the required date. When I collected my dress I was so impressed, everything I had wanted plus more was done. Now I have the dress of my dreams for my big day and its all thanks to her. Highly recommended and very satisfied!

Well where do I start... From the first email from Heather she was professional, attentive and very helpful. Obviously handing over my wedding dress was very nerve racking but Heather made me feel comfortable as she knew what she was talking about. I have always been "top heavy" and Heather was able to make my dress look and feel like it was made just for me. Words can no describe how amazing I felt in my dress and that had so much to do with the work that Heather did on my dress....

I contacted Heather originally for a quote for a couture gown, and although the quote was very reasonable I ended up purchasing off the rack and had Heather do my alterations.

When I purchased my dress, I didn't have "the moment" and wasn't 100% sure my dress was right for me until I went to see Heather. Heather was so reassuring and gave fantastic advice which really helped me feel happy with my choice.

I had my dress taken up, taken out slightly at the waist, and the straps adjusted. Heather also made my stunning floor length veil. The work was impeccable and I couldn't have been happier with my gown on the day.

Heather's communication was wonderful - she is very up front with all costs and requirements, and this helped so much in knowing exactly where everything stood.

Heather, I can't thank you enough for you friendly advice, calming reassurance and fantastic workmanship. I felt beautiful in my dress - not too mention comfortable! Thanks x
