Since starting my business in 2015, I've been serving the Suffolk area with professional tailoring services. Always bringing a creative and professional approach to the table. My goal is to help you look and feel your absolute best. Sabrina de Carvalho is a lot like the fashion industry itself - always changing and adapting to the latest trends. But there's one thing that has stayed constant throughout, and that's a commitment to the complete satisfaction of my clients. I'd love to start working with you today.

I studied for my Fashion based degree in the beautiful waterfront city of Portsmouth where I also worked for a renown bridal shop, and volunteered in a theatre wardrobe. This developed my love for being creating things with impeccable technique. I now own a Suffolk based bridal studio where I alter your dress to fit you like a glove, or use my creativity to really make your dress your own.
26 weeks pregnant by the time the wedding day arrived, Sabrina went out of her way to alter my wedding dress, in keeping with it's original design, to ensure that it would still fit me! Sabrina was helpful, friendly, creative, cost effective and couldn't do enough to make sure that the dress was ready for our big day.
Due to the current situation, and personal circumstances, I will not be providing the service of Bespoke dresses at this time. I will still be working with alterations and bespoke alterations. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support, and please do contact me if you have any queries. I was very honoured to have a wedding dress made by Sabrina.

I can't thank this woman more. She is the most patient person I have ever met. I am so glad I found her! As a curvier woman I am conscious of my arms and wanted to have sleeves put on my strapless dress. After what I'm sure was a lot of hard work I had my first trial with the sleeves which turned out to be very restrictive so in the most patient and polite way she suggested a different style of sleeve and together we came up with a solution. And my dream of sleeve became a reality. I cannot recommend this lady more! Saved the day!

Feel so lucky I found Sabrina, she is amazing at what she does. Completely exceeded my expectations! I took her my dress to be altered; it was too long, too big, I didn’t like parts of the straps & I had an inside layer that needed changing too. She was speedy & did such a perfect job. She even made a bespoke veil clip which was so beautiful & used the parts of my dress I had taken off! Couldn’t recommend her anymore. I’m almost sad I don’t have another reason to use her services.. maybe one day! Thank you Sabrina

I don't like to share negative reviews but I feel that I have to share my experience to give future brides an honest opinion. We went to Sabrina to resize my wedding dress down as it was too large and agreed to pay £390 for the changes, which seemed pricey but worth it for a job well done.
After waiting months to invite us in for a first fitting when we finally starting going to see Sabrina, it just didn't seem to be coming together.
The back, which fit well at the first fitting, never fit correctly ever again and to stop it scratching underneath the armpit, Sabrina for some reason took it in

After I bought my dress I decided it wasn't perfect for me and needed someone to help me make it right.
Sabrina was happy to help - we removed sleeves, added and removed lace, changed the skirt shape and much more until it felt and looked like it was perfect for me! She also helped make the bridesmaid dresses perfect.
Sabrina is sweet, patient and very friendly. She is still young in her career experience, so anyone using her should respect and acknowledge this. Her pricing was also very fair.
Thanks Sabrina for giving me a one-off perfect dress! x

Sabrina is amazing! When I found my perfect dress it was two sizes too big, Sabrina altered it so that it felt and looked like it had been made just for me! Her work was faultless and I couldn't have been happier with my dress on the day, I had so many compliments.
Sabrina is lovely, incredibly friendly and I was so impressed by the efficiency and high standard of her work. If you need any bridal alterations done you dress is safe in her hands! And she makes a great cup of tea 😀
