Angela Webber - The Touch of Silk

My name is Angela Webber, a professional dressmaker and designer based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. I now focus solely on alterations.

I qualified at the London College of Fashion as a designer and dressmaker and for many years worked as a freelance dressmaker for bridal designers in London, Kent and Sussex.

I have been a professional dressmaker for more than 40 years, gaining experience and skills in designing, pattern making, fitting garments and handling difficult fabrics such as chiffon and velvet.

In 1996 I opened a successful bridal shop in Tunbridge Wells, where I designed and made my own collection of wedding dresses, bridesmaids and pageboy outfits.

Later on I set up my own workshop where I made one-off special occasion dresses for weddings, proms, evening wear, and dance wear - all beautifully made but without the designer price tag!

I take great pride in my work and pay attention to every detail.

I want everyone who commissions me to alter their garments to have an enjoyable stress free experience!
