About Renae
Hi, I'm Renae. I'm a Savile Row trained couturier specialising in bespoke women's evening wear and wedding dresses. I've got 7 years' experience working in the fashion industry creating for global brands such as David's Bridal, White Rose Bridal, Kosebia Creations and English Rose. I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) with a BA in Fashion Atelier, which trained me in couture designing and construction, bespoke tailoring and creative pattern cutting. I now run my own Atelier where we design and create luxury made-to-measure wedding dresses and evening wear; which is my true passion. I also run fashion design workshops at Derby University and privately. My love for running fashion workshops comes from my passion for seeing people in their creative element. I truly believe that every human on earth is creative, and they just need to find the right way of channelling their creativity. I aim to help you find your creative identity and put you on the path to unlocking your creative potential through my classes.

Perfect! I loved Renae, she put me at ease, didn’t make me feel as silly as I did, was fun to learn from and very professional
I’m hoping to book more lessons from her later in the yearPerfect! Renae has been helping me for 2 years now with all skills including pattern cutting, bespoke tailoring methods, career advice and much more. She is very nice, caring and tries her best to help in all areas related to fashion. I highly recommend taking classes with her as I have already seen a massive improvement on my knowledge of garment construction and the fashion industry in general. She knows the industry very well and is highly skilled, you will not regret taking classes with her.

I was a beginner home sower when I started working with Renae. She helped me gain confidence in my sewing abilities, I’ve been able to create dresses from beginning to end unassisted. She was very patient and encouraging. The lessons were so useful and have transformed my outlook on dress making. Thank you so much Renae!
Renae is a great tutor. I've had 1 to 1 lessons with her last year. I wanted to learn basic sewing skills as I am very passionate about circular fashion and wanted to fix my own clothes. She is very passionate, patient and gives clear and concise instructions. Can't wait to get onto pattern making :)
