Engela

My love for dressmaking started whilst watching my mom work in her factory as a young girl. The different fabrics and designs intrigued and stirred a dream in my heart to one day make beautiful dresses for beautiful woman.

Whether it be a bridal gown or matric dance dress, every client is dear to my heart. My aim is to create the perfect dress that will leave you looking graceful, breathtaking and confident.

I would describe my work as detailed, elegant, and romantic. Every creation comes with its own special story and I always endeavor to capture the unique personality and image of every individual. To bring  dreams to life in a dress is a sure honor and privilege. 

Let me make your next occasion an occasion to cherish and remember forever.

Wedding gown

Designing and making a wedding dress is the ultimate for me. To be able to share in the bride’s story of love and romance is such a privilege. For this reason, I do my utmost best to make the dress her heart desires. I absolutely adore how each dress emanates every bride’s unique beauty and personality.  I’m in love with the breathtaking moment when the bride sees herself in her completed dress for the first time. It is truly humbling to share that moment when she feels special, beautiful and ready for her big day with her.

Matric farewell

A big day on any matriculants calendar. This sets the stage for the client to express her youthful and unique personality, but still look elegant and beautiful. I enjoy designing and making matric farewell dresses as each design is a new and fresh approach to dress making that opens doors for creative elegance and beauty.  A moment to cherish to bring to life the vision of a young heart to celebrate her accomplishments and the excitement of embarking on a new chapter in her life.

Evening gown

Not many people have the frequent opportunity to dress up in a beautiful evening gown and own the night. So, when they do, I make it count. I thoroughly enjoy to design and make evening gowns for woman of all ages that expresses their unique beauty and personal style. This is a platform where the client can experiment a bit, and bring her own flair into a dress that will make her special occasion a breathtaking unscripted moment in time, to cherish and remember.
