Our aim at Shona Rubery Designs is to make sure each time you visit us you leave feeling relaxed and confident that your dressmaking is in competent hands. We like to provide a little haven of calm from the world outside, so that you can take a moment before heading back out into your busy day.

The decor in the studio at Shona Rubery Designs is designed to enhance the feeling of comfort and tranquility, so we are especially thrilled to have had that acknowledged by our community, winning the 'Best Business Interior' in the 2010 Feilding Business Awards. What an honour!

Our normal hours of business are: Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm.
However, understanding that work and family commitments can make weekdays difficult, we are happy to see you at other times by arrangement. Just get in touch!
