Custom dresses for women and kids

Designed and tailored to your measurements, from everyday dresses to evening gowns and outfits for special occasions.

A custom dress starts with a conversation about you: the occasion, the colours and fabrics you love, and how you want to feel wearing it. Thenu sketches the design, takes your measurements and sews the dress to fit your body – not a standard size.

She designs for women and children alike, from party and occasion dresses to evening gowns, summer dresses and matching sets.

  • Evening gowns and occasion wear
  • Summer dresses and two-piece sets
  • Dresses for kids and special days
  • Fittings along the way for a perfect fit

Clothing alterations and repairs

Professional alterations for trousers, dresses and more: resizing, hemming and length adjustments.

A garment that fits well is one you actually wear. Thenu takes in, lets out, shortens and lengthens clothes so that they fit you properly, and repairs the pieces you would rather not give up.

Bring the garment along and Thenu will tell you what can be done.

  • Hemming trousers, skirts and dresses
  • Taking in and letting out (resizing)
  • Length adjustments
  • Repairs to favourite pieces

Upcycling old garments

Turning old or unused clothes into modern, stylish pieces you’ll love wearing again.

Many wardrobes hold clothes with sentimental value that no longer fit or feel dated. Thenu redesigns them into something new: a different silhouette, a new neckline, or a completely new garment made from the original fabric.

Upcycling keeps good fabric in use and out of landfill, and the result is a one-of-a-kind piece with a story.

  • Redesigning dated or unused clothes
  • New garments from existing fabric
  • Keeping sentimental pieces in use

Sustainable practices

Ethically sourced materials, careful production and garments made to last.

Sustainability runs through everything at Tikki ja Tyyli. Thenu chooses sustainable fabrics where possible, makes each piece to order to avoid overproduction, and builds garments to last for years rather than a single season.

Alterations and upcycling are part of the same idea: the most sustainable garment is often the one already in your wardrobe.

  • Made to order – no overproduction
  • Sustainable, ethically sourced fabrics where possible
  • Quality craftsmanship that lasts

How it works

  1. Personal consultation

    We start by talking through your ideas, the occasion and your style preferences, so the result truly feels like you.

  2. Design and fitting

    Thenu creates the design, takes your measurements and sews the garment, with fittings along the way to get the fit just right.

  3. Finishing and quality check

    Every garment is checked carefully before it is handed over, so it meets high standards of craftsmanship and fit.

Let’s create something that’s truly yours

Tell Thenu about your idea, the garment you want altered or the piece you’d like to give a new life. Every project starts with a friendly conversation.
