About

About my business:

Krystal Antoinetta is my Perth Dressmaking business. I specialize in designing and making limited edition statement clothing items and accessories. I created this business for girls like me who express their individuality through their own fashion style and are always seeking beautiful unique pieces to add to their wardrobes. This is a custom made to order fashion brand. Nothing is mass produced. Every item ordered (excluding the print on demand items) is made especially for you, by me in my Perth Sewing studio. I aim to create timeless pieces that will be worn and loved for years.

The main items that I create are skirts, tops and Zipchie scrunchies.

I have also designed print on demand tees and hoodies to promote a Kindness movement to encourage all people to be kind to others- as I believe that this is True Style and will create a better and happier society. These items are printed in Australia.

My Dressmaking Process

For clothing designs listed on my website:

1. You choose one of my unique designs and purchase it at the Checkout.

2. You take your body measurements and then email them to me (view the Sizing page for a guide).

3. Using your measurements; I will draw up a custom dress block that I will use to create the pattern pieces.

4. I will cut and make a prototype (sample).

5. In my studio I have a dressmaking mannequin that I adjust to your measurements (it becomes your body double!) and I use this to check the fit of the prototype.

6. After all adjustments have been made to the pattern pieces, I will cut and make the final garment!

7. I will send the final garment to you in the mail.

For clothing designs NOT listed on my website:

1. You can email me a sketch of the design you want to order and I can let you know if I can make it (please note that I do not make exact copies of other people's designs).

2. I will send you a free quote.

3. If you are happy to go ahead I will require a 50% deposit for initial fabric and patternmaking costs. I will send you a PayPal invoice for this.

4. I will follow the same dressmaking process as listed above to make your clothing item.

4. Once the final item is made, I will send you another PayPal invoice for the final payment.

5. Once this is paid, I will send you the final item in the mail.

All designing, patternmaking and sewing is done in my Western Australia studio.

History of the Dressmaker

I have loved coming up with ideas and making them ever since I can remember. I started sewing at 11 years old and never stopped. I too have visions of what I want to wear! After finishing school, I studied Fashion Design at Swan TAFE (now Polytechnic West). I have also worked in Women's wear in retail for several years. I have enjoyed helping many customers to find outfits to suit their body shapes, heights, likes and dislikes etc. All of my years sewing and helping customers in retail has given me lots of experience and knowledge in garment construction, body shapes, styling, different types of fabrics and customer service. I am very passionate about creating special clothing pieces that suit an individuals fashion style AND fits them like a glove!
