Reviews

What Portland says.

"Rosa rescued my wedding dress three weeks before the ceremony. She spent an extra hour re-doing the bustle and wouldn't hear of charging me for it. I cried in the fitting room — in a good way."

Book a fitting

Thirty minutes with a pin cushion.

A fitting takes about half an hour. Bring the garment and the shoes you’ll wear with it. Rosa takes the measurements, Tiago writes your ticket, and you leave with a firm price and a “ready by” date.
