Dressmaking

I contacted Hilary prior to my daughter’s wedding with some ideas about how to use a special piece of fabric to make me a dress. I was impressed by Hilary’s helpful approach to choosing the design and then her attention to detail in the making up of the dress. At a busy time Hilary was able to make a dress I was delighted with, within a fairly short period of time. The finish was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Hilary. (EJ, Stanton)

I’m really pleased with my trousers, they fit beautifully. Thank you (MH, Ixworth)

Hello Hilary, thank you so much for your work on the jacket. Wonderful! (LS, Oxford)

I would highly recommend Pearce’s Pins. Hilary has transformed some key pieces in my wardrobe and I’m delighted with what she’s done. It’s clear why she’s always in such great demand. I’ve already been back for a couple of other things which again have been perfect. Thanks Hilary (SG, Honington)

With huge gratitude for my new wardrobe. (CC, Wyken)

I shall wear my “Hilary skirt” to go out for lunch next week.  It has been my “best” skirt for ages.  I do have others, but that one always comes out top.  (EC, Berkhamsted)

Thank you so much for revitalising my 1953 dress.  You were so clever to figure out how to “enlarge” it.  (E D-J, Pakenham)

I want you to know I am delighted with my new dress!  I set you a real challenge which you accepted with enthusiasm – and the result is marvellous.  You are so clever – thank you very much… It is such a pleasure to do business with you.” (AF, Ixworth)

The jacket is lovely and was admired by someone in Church yesterday when I wore it for the first time.  I shall be wearing it again today.  I shall really enjoy wearing it.  Thank you very much indeed for all the trouble you have taken to make me such a beautiful garment” (SKS, Chislehurst)

We are delighted with the results!  Thank you so much for all your help and efficiency!  I must admit the bridesmaids’ tops have exceeded my expectations. (LA, Little Gaddesden)

Thank you so much for your hard work and vision when you made my wedding coat.  It was so beautiful and looked absolutely stunning – better than I had dreamed of.  It’s still a hot talking point in cards we’re getting from people who saw it.  I really felt like a princess for the day! (HM, Hemel Hempstead)

The jacket and skirts look great.  I’m just waiting for the weather to cool down now so I can show them off! (SW, Harpenden)
