Marina runs an award winning atelier creating custom clothes for more than 30 years.  Marina and her team of highly qualified seamstresses were the first to join Dressarte family and we love everything about the garments they craft, fit, quality and attention to details are always impeccable. 

Melanie has 30 years of sewing experience after studying fashion, footwear and accessories design. The last ten years of her career she has focused on producing bespoke formal and special occasion wear, with a focus on bridal wear. 

She also undertakes special occasion alterations and garment reconstruction including the up cycling and restoration of vintage wedding gowns. 

Samantha’s design education started with a BA in Design at Middlesex university, followed by MA Design Products at The Royal college of Art.  She has always dreamed of making wedding dresses, so later on she went to retrain by learning pattern cutting and then to The London College of Fashion to complete a course in bridalwear. For the past 5 years she has been making and altering evening wear from her North London studio.

Special areas of interest – adaptive clothing/inclusive design/sustainability.
