   Outstanding alterations on my wedding dress that was two sizes too big and mad multiple layers! Shino made it fit perfectly and look very flattering. I ended up returning with my vail and husband’s suit!

   I would absolutely recommend Shino. She is so talented and made my wedding dress a perfect fit. She is so welcoming and listened to what I wanted. She took my dress down several sizes and had to unstitch and reapply the applique/embroidery and it looked absolutely perfect.

   Thank you so much Shino for your help in making my wedding dress fit me perfectly and making it uniquely mine. You made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped into your studio, little kids and all! I loved all of the options you gave me for my dress alterations, especially the bustle on the side of the dress. You work miracles and are so so talented! I can't thank you enough!

   I cannot recommend Shino highly enough! She did an absolutely incredible job altering my wedding dress. From the moment I met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly very experienced. She took the time to listen to my concerns, made thoughtful suggestions, and ensured that every detail was perfect. The fit of the dress after her alterations was flawless! Felt like it was made just for me. She handled delicate fabrics with care, and her craftsmanship truly exceeded my expectations. On such an important day, I felt confident and beautiful, and that’s all thanks to her talent and hard work. If you’re looking for someone who is meticulous, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, look no further. She’s a gem!

   Shino is an amazing dress maker. I had a long sleeve wedding dress to fix over winter in winter with short notice, Shino quickly put my mind to ease and had a lot of different recommendations for what I could do to improve the fit of the dress. Her work is flawless and I recommend.

   Shino was beyond amazing!! I booked in with her after seeing all her amazing reviews. I was a nervous bride and she put me at ease instantly and did a beautiful job adding a bustle to my dress and giving me guidance on what shoes to wear. Thanks again Shino!

   Shino did an amazing alteration/custom job on a vintage velvet coat, far beyond anything I expected!! Not only did she alter it to fit perfectly, she added a twist of detail which has taken the coat from beautiful to stunning!! Highly, highly recommend Shining Style.

   If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Shino is, simply put, brilliant. My partner and I both had a large quantity of clothes to be altered and we were very worried because we had a very short time frame and we had also had some bad experiences with other tailors beforehand but we really didn’t need to be worried because Shino exceeded our expectations with every single piece, she even saved some pieces we had almost written off. We were truly lucky to find her when we did. Not only are her alterations flawless every time but she is such a lovely, patient and kind person. I honestly wouldn’t consider going to anyone else for alterations in the future. Her attention to detail and skills are unmatched and I would highly recommend Shining Style to anyone, without a doubt the best seamstress in the Bay of Plenty! Thank you so much Shino!
