Hi, I’m Marzena!
As a professional dressmaker and pattern maker with over 30 years of experience, I’m passionate about helping clothes fit beautifully.
From simple alterations to complete transformations, I specialise in precise hemming, resizing, and custom dressmaking. Every piece deserves the perfect fit—let’s make that happen together.
Expert Clothing Alterations with European Couture Precision
What I Offer
From simple adjustments like hemming and resizing to complex modifications and garment repurposing, I ensure every piece fits perfectly. I am well known for my expertise in altering ball gowns, bridal gowns, as well simple garments like school uniforms, and workwear. If it’s possible, I can do it!
I take pride in offering a swift, high-quality alteration service with attention to detail. No job is too big or too small, and same-day repairs may be available. I also provide professional measuring, styling, and fitting services to ensure the perfect fit.
Beyond alterations, I offer custom pattern-making services for private customers and fashion designers. In the past, I have worked with brands such as Dogstar, Red Cordial and Daniel Lightfoot.

A Dress Reimagined
This wedding dress began as a dated piece that didn’t feel quite right. Through expert alterations, we reshaped it into a stunning gown that reflected the bride’s personality and confidence. The right tailoring can turn an old dress into something extraordinary.
Your clothes should fit you, not the other way around. Whether it’s a wedding dress that needs a flawless finish, a suit that should feel sharp and comfortable, or a cherished piece that deserves a second life, we provide expert alterations tailored to your needs.

What Clients Say
Nothing speaks louder than the words of our happy clients.
Here’s what they have to say about their experience at Alterations by Marzena:
We’ve had a few things altered here now- some dresses, a jacket etc. Each one has been done brilliantly, and quickly. Quality work at reasonable prices. Wonderful attention to detail on my Husband’s jacket-multiple buttons on the sleeve hem, and it needed shortening. It was lined & it was a 2 piece sleeve. Such a great job. This is where we go now if we need to get things done.
School trousers and a blazer required alterations. Marzena was fantastic and easy to work with. Prices communicated when I first called. Clothes now fit well, and I am happy with the service.
Attentive, courteous, professional service, outstanding work. I came with a large number of dress uniform items and not only did they look and fit great, they were completed earlier than expected.
Marzena did such an amazing job altering my wedding dress, my husband and the groomsmens suits! She was able to work within our timeframe and was so professional and lovely. Thank you Marzena!
Very professional and friendly service.
