Windhoek
Windhoek is home — the atelier is here, so clients in the city are fitted in person from the first sketch to the final press.
Alterations & Restoration for Windhoek
A gown bought off the rail is a starting point, not a finished garment. We take in, let out, re-cup, re-hem, re-bone and re-balance — and we rebuild inherited gowns so a mother's or grandmother's dress can be worn again without looking borrowed.
Restoration is slower than making new. Aged silk, brittle beadwork and yellowed lace each need their own treatment before a single seam is opened.
For Windhoek we favour silk mikado, breathable illusion tulle and dust-forgiving hems for dry heat and long outdoor ceremonies.
