About Me
My name is Marie Olesen and I am a Danish fashion designer. I trained at the Gulliksen Academy for Fashion and Design in Aalborg, Denmark. Although I have been in the UK for more than 35-years, I have been creating bespoke outfits and providing alterations since graduating. I am honoured to be included in the 'Marquis 21st Century Who's Who In the World' publication which certifies that I am an individual who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in my chosen field of bespoke bridal wear. So you see, when you come to me to create your perfect outfit, you really are in the best hands.
Fun & Exciting
Since the invention of the needle, the ancient practice of dressmaking has evolved over the years – both technologically and artistically – and so have dressmakers. Thanks to technology, these days, there are machines that perform all kinds of dressmaking miracles. Dressmaking has even progressed to the point of leveraging computer-aided designs (CADs) which make for efficiency, ease, and increased creativity. I am equipped with the appropriate technological tools to guarantee customer satisfaction. With the help of technology, dressmaking isn’t only fun for me but is also exciting for my customers.


"Marie is so lovely and helpful. Got my suit sleeve altered as it is too long. It only took Marie half a day to get it done with excellent quality. Tried it on and now the jacket looks like it is tailored for me. Thanks Marie"
