About Orchard Slope
About Me
I’m a garment maker and alterations specialist, trained through internships and an apprenticeship with a master tailor. I’ve spent over a decade working with some of the leading names in the costume industry, which has given me a strong understanding of fit, structure, and how clothes are meant to move and feel on the body.
Alongside tailoring, I’ve always loved knitting and embroidery. Working with stitch and texture is a big part of how I think about clothing, and it shows in the care I take with finishes, details, and repairs.
I work one-to-one in a calm, relaxed way, taking the time to listen to how you want your clothes to fit and feel. Whether it’s everyday wear or something more special, my aim is always to help you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease in what you’re wearing.
Inclusivity Mission
My studio is an inclusive space for people of all genders and neurotypes. Clothing should support how you live in your body — not restrict or define it — and alterations are approached with that in mind.
I work with garments across the gender spectrum and focus on fit, comfort, and personal preference rather than labels. You’re welcome to describe what you want your clothes to do and feel like in whatever language feels right to you.
Sensory-friendly fittings are available for neurodivergent clients or anyone who benefits from a calmer, more flexible appointment. This can include adjusted lighting, reduced noise, extra time, clear communication, and a pace that suits you.
Everyone deserves to feel comfortable, respected, and at ease throughout the alterations process.
Through alterations and repairs, I aim to help extend the life of clothing and support a more sustainable, considered approach to what we wear.
Our Name
“Orchard Slope” takes its name from Diana Barry’s house in Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Just like Diana’s home, the name evokes warmth, comfort, and a sense of personal history — qualities I aim to bring to every garment I work on. It’s a little nod to stories, creativity, and the joy of making something feel truly yours.
