I was recommended Shino by a work colleague to alter my wedding dress – I’m a short gal so needed some of the length taking away and shoulder adjustments. My dress was double layered and very detailed and intricate lacing but she managed to shorten this and it looked immaculate- like it was made that way! Beautiful work by a beautiful lady inside and out – true professional and attention to detail blew me away! love your work Shino! 😃

What a lucky day it was when I came across Shino! Her skill is impeccable! She knew exactly what alterations needed doing when I arrived with my wedding dress, putting my mind completely at ease. The results were perfect and were achieved within the tight turnaround I needed. Shino is clearly gifted in her profession and is such a bundle of happiness to be around. She is truly an asset!

I purchased my wedding dress in Auckland (live in TGA) and the girls recommended Shino to do my alterations. I am so glad we went to Shino, she has such an incredible eye for detail and truly is amazing at what she does. She made some very intricate tweaks to my dress to make it fit me perfectly. She also altered my mums dress which she also did an amazing job on and she made my daughters dress also which was absolutely adorable. I would highly recommend Shino, she is so talented and such a lovely person too.

Shino was absolutely amazing with resizing my wedding dress! It was originally a size 14 off the rack and she managed to get it down to a size 8-10 to fit me perfectly. Her attention to detail was spot on, she individually removed all the beads and lace before removing the excess fabric (approx 20cm) so that the dress fit me perfectly and looked flawless. She was also great with providing different pricing options to suit my budget and walked me through all the different options for my bustle and the price differences. My dress fit me perfectly on the day. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!
