Commissions
Couture for one person, made by hand in Dublin.
The making
Each commission begins with a conversation, then sketches and fabric. A first version is cut in calico and fitted on the body, then made in the final cloth over several fittings, and finished by hand.
Bridal, six to eight months.
Evening, eight to twelve weeks.
Coats and tailoring, by arrangement.
Past commission
The Love Birds
