Bring the thing you never wear
Everyone has three or four of them: the dress that was a size out, the jeans two inches too long, the coat with the broken zip that has hung in the hall for two winters. They don't get thrown away and they don't get worn.
Beautasy is a one-woman atelier in Southampton: Kristina, a seamstress working from her home workroom. Everything below is altered by the same pair of hands, quoted before any work starts, and usually back with you inside a week.

Meet Kristina
Hi, I'm Kristina. I alter, mend and make clothes by hand in my quiet home workroom in Southampton. Everything is pinned on you, priced before I start, and sewn by the same pair of hands.
