"Tessa's the most talented dress designer I have come across in a long time. They created a bridal gown for a recent wedding shoot I was part of that was completely unique and breathtakingly on brief. Hand sewn, detailed, and their dedication to their art is phenomenal. One of the nicest people in the wedding industry. Brighton and beyond brides are very lucky to have access to them."

I create clothes for people, not standard sizes or gendered sections. If you're looking for an outfit for a wedding, fantasy event, drag performance, or just wanting to elevate your wardrobe; I'm your Fairy Gothmother.
A team of one, I have been sewing most of my life from reworking clothes to drag costumes, and got my degree in Fashion from Norwich University of the Arts 2020. After lockdown released us back into the wild I have been working primarily in the wedding industry.
I specialise in creating made to order garments that are perfectly you, we'll work together to find what makes you special, and how we can make that come across in the form of a gorgeous garment.
Based in my little studio apartment in Hove, right next to Brighton City Centre.
It is my goal to give you an experience that you will cherish and help you find the outfit that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.


I'm Tess (on the right), your friendly left-wing, non-binary, gay, seamstress.
Owner of Beyond the Veil .
