THE BESPOKE CLUB

Testimonials

It's my absolute pleasure to write this testimonial for Yvette, The Bespoke Dresser®. Yvette has transformed the way I think about my wardrobe and about clothing in general. I now have absolute clarity about the image I wish to portray. Yvette has a Bespoke process that I can only describe as insightful, supportive and collaborative. She has a wonderful approach and leaves you feeling positive about yourself and your personal style. Generous to a fault, Yvette will not pressure you into anything and makes sure you're comfortable with all decisions about your image and the style choices you make. Her shopping service is excellent. She totally understood my style as evidenced by the preselections she'd made for me. The sessions I've spent with her have all been positive, fun and incredibly worthwhile.
I cannot recommend Yvette highly enough.

I like the refreshed feeling my wardrobes have after a visit from Yvette. She sorts my clothes, coats and shoes each season so I can enjoy better visibility in my wardrobe. I find her packages great value - I simply don’t have the time to edit my wardrobe with the attention to detail she provides.
It is great to have a Bespoke service like hers available for busy women like myself.

I needed a Mother of the Bride dress and was absolutely dreading shopping for it, just not my thing. I was told about Yvette by a friend and contacted her for help. She made the whole experience fun from the initial consultation to the shopping day. The range of dresses she had pre-selected for me were lovely. I am looking forward to wearing my new frocks, shoes, earrings.. the whole shebang over the wedding weekend! Would absolutely recommend her Bespoke service for Mothers of the Bride.

It was such a treat going shopping with Yvette. Whether it’s for a special occasion piece or adding new life to your current wardrobe,
I find I always come away with stunning pieces that I feel great in and attract many compliments. I love that some of my favourites items I would not have even tried if I was shopping for myself. Yvette has an eye for knowing what will work and gives you the confidence to wear new styles. Her knowledge of what is available in the stores is amazing. Fabulous after-service follow up too Yvette. Thank you!

I am a business owner and have little time to shop or prepare a work wardrobe with my busy schedule.
Having enlisted The Bespoke Dresser® to manage my ‘professional look’ for several years now, each time I show up to a business meeting, visit a client or feature as a guest on morning TV - I am always smartly dressed. Although I still don’t have much spare time, this is no longer reflected in the state of my wardrobe. The changes she influenced in the way I dressed, although subtle - have had a lasting and positive effect on myself and my business.
KELLY McFARLANE Business Owner

Just a note to say thank you so much for the time you spent with me helping refresh/kickstart my wardrobe. You went over and beyond on the day. Also at the pre-meetings treating me to lovely food and bubbles, not to mention the beautiful perfume gift at the end. You need a medal really. I'm not the easiest person to figure out, especially when it comes to buying pants and jeans. But you did, with great respect too. And miraculously I ended up with two pairs in very quick succession - how amazing was that. Not to mention the other pieces purchased. I was very spoilt by my beautiful family for treating me to this Bespoke experience and by yourself - a lovely start to celebrating my 60th year!

A friend had told me about her Bespoke dressing experience and how much more confident she felt after her wardrobe makeover. I’d taken down the number of her dresser Yvette but didn’t make contact for ages as I wondered how much time it would involve and whether I’d feel comfortable with her. My body shape had changed after having children and I needed a new work and casual look to suit the image I now wanted to portray. I also had the usual Christmas functions coming up and my brother’s wedding… and nothing to wear!

I finally made that call to Yvette and from the moment I met her, I felt at ease. She really listened to what I needed, took me to new shops that I didn’t know about and seemed almost telepathic about what I was looking for. She organised for items that weren’t available in-store to be couriered out to me, organised garment alterations and delivered those to me at lightning speed. Nothing was too much trouble for her. It wasn’t hours of arduous shopping either, it was fun and didn’t take nearly as long as I thought as Yvette had pre-shopped and knew exactly where we were going. What I’ve valued the most is that I now look forward to getting dressed in the morning! I absolutely love everything we have purchased together and I feel so confident wearing my new outfits. I think what you wear is so important as it reflects who you are and how you’re feeling, I love what Yvette has been able to do for me. If you haven’t worked with The Bespoke Dresser® before, it is amazing. I highly recommend it!

I first started working with Yvette nearly four years ago.  Yvette's strength in communication makes her a pleasure to work with and means that she gets to know her clients on a non-superficial basis, which I really appreciate.  The entire time I have felt comfortable that Yvette understands who I am as a person and what I am trying to achieve with my styling.

Looking in my wardrobe each morning had become an underwhelming affair.  
The variety, appeal and quality of pieces in my wardrobe had been decreasing in proportion to the increase in my waistline. 
Intro… Bespoke dressing! Uninspiring clothes have now been replaced with quality items from designer, boutique, and mainstream stores.  A few investment pieces quickly became favourites.  Now I have many outfit choices, including accessories which are interesting and most are guaranteed to get compliments.  The process was fun and what would have taken me weeks to achieve was covered in just one shop!  At each destination a rack of clothes would be waiting for me to try on - avoiding the frustration of finding the perfect item and it not being in my size.   With Yvette having figured the agenda and doing the driving I could relax.  At day's end it was exciting looking at all the bags and boxes, trying to recall what would be in each - like the best Christmas!! 
I highly recommend Yvette and The Bespoke Experience.

My experience with Yvette was life changing.  I always thought I looked okay, but I never felt amazing in the clothes I wore. Yvette looks at the whole picture, it’s not just about the clothes but about finding who you are and where it is you want to go with your personal styling.  I felt she focused on the whole image of me and not just the material aspects.  Having the Bespoke Dresser® guide me on the shopping tour led me to looks I can wear with much more confidence. The clothes I got with Yvette are my favourite looks in my wardrobe.  I wear them all the time and have had comments on every single piece. I am truly grateful for the time I spent with Yvette and the continuous friendship we now have.

The absolute joy of the Bespoke Dresser shopping experience lies in being taken into boutiques that I would not have dreamed I could shop in.  Not only were the clothes already selected and put aside, but were the right fit, cut and colour.  They were different from what I would have selected and yet I look and feel fabulous in them!  The addition of being picked up, driven around and given special attention at all stages just adds to this transformative experience.  I regularly attract compliments now - which to a large extent is due to the confidence in the outfits that I now have, and where they can take me.
