Customer Testimonials | Fashion Alchemy

Tina Shaw, Chatham:

''Thank you so much Svetlana for my amazing dress and for your pattern making skills that brought my idea to life. I felt fabulous wearing it and had so many wonderful compliments about the style and colour... I loved it Xx''


T.R. Brown
Spirit Health Clubs, Holiday Inn, Rochester:

''I am not an average-sized man and therefore find it hard to find shirts that fit, let alone allow me to twist and move freely. The shirt Svetlana designed and made for me allows me to do all these things whilst still being perfectly tailored to my body shape. I am extremely happy with the shirt and have already worn it to several functions, receiving positive comments at each about the fabric and style. I would recommend the product to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish fit.''


Ilka Frischen:

''The dress was just perfect. I will send you some more detailed pictures of the dress shortly. For now, at the very least I wanted to send you these. Everyone loved the dress.

The shorts were a full success and perfect for dancing. The guests were so surprised when I dropped the skirt... including Justin :-)

Thanks so much for all your very hard work on this... It was worth it."


Mrs L C Wainwright, Headteacher, Horsted Infant School:

"I can only praise the work of Svetlana Sirlan. A complete range of school costumes was either re-vamped or completely remade. Her commitment to completing the task in the timescale required was exceptional.

Her skill at designing and making without a pattern was admirable. The finished products were delightful. She clearly has a vast range of skills as a dressmaker and I have no hesitation in recommending her work."


Helen Masters, Chatham:

Svetlana altered a skirt and pair of trousers for me. The waist needed to be made smaller on both items but the hips did not need to be changed. When she had done them they not only fitted but I could not see where they had been altered.

I also needed a quick turnaround and again this was no problem. I shall certainly use her again.


Petra Skinner, Chatham:

The dresses were beautiful, 100 times better than I could ever do, the quality was second to none, and I have recommended Svetlana to my friends and family.

I would definitely use her services again. Thanks ever so much.


Paula, Chatham:

My 16-year-old daughter needed to have alterations made to a dress for a special occasion. We met Svetlana in a related atmosphere. The service was very prompt and friendly.

My daughter and I were very happy with end result and will definitely use her services again.


Cherry, Chatham:

Svetlana service was very good and personnel. She listens to my idea and then gave your professional input reason appropriate style and design. The quality of the dress was super.
