Bespoke Tailor in Bath
I offer professional tailoring services in Bath, bringing together over 25 years of experience, precision craftsmanship and a highly individual approach to every project. I specialise in wedding dress alterations, bespoke tailoring and elegant garment fitting for women and men.
Passion for Bespoke Tailoring
My name is Barbara Ammar and I have been working in tailoring, fashion design and garment fitting for over 25 years, creating and altering clothing around the individual needs of each client. I studied Fashion Design at the University of Arts in Poznań, before running my own tailoring studio in Poland for 13 years.
After moving to the United Kingdom, I continued working with clients in Bath and London, further developing my expertise in wedding dress alterations, elegant garment alterations and bespoke tailoring.
Bespoke Tailoring, Crafted in Every Detail
I approach every project individually — from the first consultation and careful adjustment of the cut, through to the final finishing touches. In my work, I combine traditional tailoring techniques with a refined sense of style, proportion and detail, creating garments that not only look beautiful, but also sit perfectly on the body.
Wedding Dress Alterations
Wedding dress alterations require exceptional precision, patience and experience. I help adjust each gown so that the bride feels comfortable, confident and truly special on one of the most important days of her life.
I carry out a wide range of alterations, including adjustments to the waist, length, bust, straps, lace, train and additional details of the dress.
Bespoke Tailoring
I create made-to-measure garments tailored to your figure, style and occasion. Every piece is crafted with careful attention to the cut, proportions, fabric and finishing details.
This service is for those looking for something more personal, elegant and individually fitted than ready-to-wear clothing.
Elegant Clothing Alterations
I provide professional alterations for elegant women’s and men’s clothing, specialising in bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride and mother of the groom outfits, groom’s suits and other occasionwear.
Whether it is a jacket, skirt, coat, shirt, suit or your favourite dress, I can expertly alter each garment to achieve the perfect fit while preserving its original character and craftsmanship. My goal is to ensure every piece looks elegant, feels comfortable and flatters your individual shape.
Profesional Tailor with over 25 yeras expirienc
My experience of over 25 years brings together technical knowledge, artistic education and practical expertise gained while working with clients in both Poland and the United Kingdom. Over the years, I have worked with classic tailoring, delicate fabrics, wedding dresses, occasionwear and made-to-measure garments.
When you work with me, you speak directly with the person who is actually working on your garment — with no intermediaries, no random decisions and no mass-production approach.

She was recommended by the shop I purchased my wedding dress from, and I was over the moon with her work, and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and she did an absolutely fantastic job. She was also the loveliest lady to deal with, she replied to my messages so quickly, and made me feel at complete ease. I will definitely be back in the future. Thanks again Barbara, you are the best! Forever grateful, HayleyPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! What an excellent seamstress to find for my wedding dress! So much care was taken over the dress and alterations were made that were not easy and ones that I thought I would need however it was suggested and luckily it was as allowed the end result to be so much better. So accommodating, flexible with booking and not there to take loads of your time on different appointments. Super lovely and highly recommend.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barbara recently repaired 2 pairs of jeans for me. She was highly responsive on WhatsApp even on a Sunday! In person, she was equally delightful. Rather than spending a few hundred pounds on new jeans, Barbara has ensured I can keep using my existing ones for years to come. She repaired them in under 7 days! Highly recommend her.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to Barbara a few times now. I love her thoughtful and honest approach to alterations. I recently had two dresses adjusted, one being very fine sheer material which had to be taken out at the waist. Barbara was very honest that taking it out at the darts might leave some marks where the old stitches were but I was happy to try anyway. When I got the dress back it was amazing! I can’t tell where she adjusted it, only that it fits perfectly. Her work is meticulously and I feel confident whenever I leave things with her. I was in two minds about whether to have the sleeves adjusted and Barbara suggested I wait till the other adjustments were done to see how I felt about this. I think this says a lot. She cares about her customers. I highly recommend her for what ever it is you need adjusting.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barbara beautifully adjusted a dress I needed for a ball - everything was perfect from the length and waist adjustments. She adjusted the dress from a size 14 to size 8 and it fit like a glove. She is extremely thoughtful, accommodating and a brilliant tailor! Thank you so much Barbara!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have had a few dresses tightened and altered in various ways and it was always possible and well executed! Barbara has done them within a week in less busy periods and when asked but always works around your schedule! I will be returning :)Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barbara Ammar did an absolutely amazing job altering the dress I changed into for my wedding evening party. I brought the dress to her as a size 14, and she tailored it beautifully to fit me like a size 8… the fit was incredible and looked completely natural. I absolutely loved the final result and felt so confident wearing it on the night. Her attention to detail and skill are exceptional, and the whole experience was professional and stress-free. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a talented tailor, especially for special occasion or wedding outfits. Thank you again!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 stars isn’t enough for Barbara! Barbara altered my wedding dress at quite short notice and did it in absolutely no time! She did the most amazing job and I needed quite a bit off the length and waste area. I was quite nervous as the dress was lace but it was like I’d just picked it up brand new from the shop. Barbara also made my sleeves out of spare lace which just finished the dress off beautifully! 🥹Thank you so much again, you are so amazing at what you do! Here is a photo of the amazing work Barbara did! ⭐️😍Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barbara did the alterations on my daughters wedding dress!
