About Holder Boutique

About Holder Boutique

I'm a Nottinghamshire based fashion designer and dressmaker. I have my own workshop in my spare room at home. I'm part self taught, part schooled by my mum and nana who taught me the basics. My nana used to work for Courtaulds, a major British textile company founded in 1794. They manufactured clothes, she worked with the industrial sewing machines. 

I design and sew fashions in my days off work. They're all made-to-measure, a passion I've had since childhood. I also research and make costume replicas from TV, films, music videos and celebrities fashions.

I take your measurements through online form and draft a pattern to fit you. I've had many customers praising my work and my customer service. I keep in touch with you, updating and answering any questions you have until the piece is in your hands. Please take a look at what some of my customers have said on my home page.

I ship all my items myself, worldwide, and I don't charge extra for it. All shipping costs are included in the item price.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me!

About Holder Jewellery
The jewellery on my website is designed and made by an independent jeweller based in New York. Their jewellery is simply stunning. I bought some cute hoop earrings from them a few years back, and I wore them everywhere. 
We do not disclose the name of our manufacturer as it is their wish to be re-branded as a business supply only. They do not sell direct to customers. They are an independent designer and manufacturer.
