About

I’m Nusha, a fashion designer and stylist with over 20 years of experience in custom clothing, bridal and prom alterations and wardrobe consulting. I specialize in quality craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind designs tailored to your body and your style. From bridal and prom to ready-to-wear and costumes, I can design, alter, or create most garments from scratch. I offer free consultations, can illustrate your design ideas, source materials, and draft custom patterns for a truly personalized fit. House calls are available for an additional fee. For accurate pricing, I need to see each garment in person, so I don’t give quotes from photos or messages alone. If you’re looking for thoughtful design, precise tailoring, and a collaborator who listens until you’re fully satisfied, I’d love to work with you.

I wanna start off by saying that I didn’t think I would find someone that would make my vision of my dress the way I wanted it to and Nusha did that. I explained to her that I love the dress that I bought, but I didn’t like the sleeves because I have lost so much weight that I have bat wings and I purchased a white lace Bolero, which she professionally removed the other sleeves in place those and made them look like Renaissance sleeves like my dress. The length is perfect. It’s not going to drag. It’s not going to get dirty. She pinned it everywhere, I needed her to pin it for me to feel comfortable. I put the dress on today when I picked it up and it fit like it was professionally made for me. My dress is one of a kind. I highly respect professionalism from someone who’s taking on a client and I am very picky and I didn’t need to explained to her too much of what I wanted, she listened to my wants and needs and she made my vision come true in my dress. I don’t have any pictures to post right now, but my dress is beautiful.

I loved the dress she made me! She was very helpful with the consultation process and she was able to get the final product made with the short amount of time I gave her.
