I'm Afina

A professional tailor and alterations specialist based in Brighton.

I have many years of experience working with women's and men's clothing, occasionwear and bridal garments. I previously owned a wedding dress shop, where I carried out the fittings and alterations myself. That gave me extensive experience with delicate fabrics, complex garment construction and pieces that need particular care.

I approach every garment individually. Sometimes the right alteration is straightforward. Sometimes it takes creativity and careful thought to achieve the best fit while preserving the original design and character of the garment.

My aim is always for the finished garment to look natural, fit beautifully and feel comfortable to wear. I believe a well-fitting garment can completely change how you feel in it, and I take pride in giving every piece the time and attention it deserves.

I work from my private studio in Brighton, offering clothing alterations, repairs and fittings by appointment.
