Did you love a garment to shreds?
Bring in a sketch or the garment and we can create it for you. We can recreate garments that have been worn out and we can create something new from a sketch. Let us help you create something for that special occasion or give you that outfit you've always wanted, but couldn't find.
Istina Designs gives a nod to the past with historical attire including Renaissance and Medieval clothing and accessories.
