Fashion Fixers

Fashion and style - when it's good it's very, very good but when it's not it's horrid! Busting Diva's mission is to make it very good most of the time. Its team will take personal style in hand making it fit like a glove. Busting Diva fashion services are designed to appeal to both the fashion-phobic who need help in finding their style as well as those with a passion for fashion looking for an edge.

Busting Diva delivers its fashion services by connecting clients with a member of the growing team including fashion stylists, personal shoppers, wardrobe consultants and bespoke dressmakers. Between them the fashion specialists have a wealth of relevant expertise that can help clients achieve their personal best in the style stakes. The team operates from a point of personal research rather than product-driven commission which lends integrity and trust to the process. The company ethos is to bring individuals together, not based on products being sold, but on relationships being made.

Personal Styling

First impressions count and your style is the first thing that people see. It defines your image and when it's right and feels natural it can transform the way you act and the way people respond to you. We've seen time and time again how it can affect the rise and fall of those in the public eye.

As a personal style coach Busting Diva guides clients through the obstacles and pitfalls of achieving their own personal style. Its expert consultants will educate on style; how to use it and how to incorporate new styles with existing styles in the wardrobe.

A personal styling session includes a home visit to assess likes and dislikes, determine style goals and give impartial advice on how to achieve them; offer shopping tips and recommendations on items to complete an existing wardrobe or a specific outfit; give advice on enhancing best features while concealing figure faults and choosing colours, hair styles and make up that complement the individual.

"Thank you for all your advice... I really appreciated it and was very inspired!"

"I had a great time... you helped me a lot. It made such a difference to the way I look... so much more glamorous... my confidence has improved."

Personal Shopping

Hands up who has a wardrobe stuffed with clothes that don't fit, don't suit or really should have been left hanging on the rail? For some it's the result of a smash and grab mentality when faced with the S-word (Shopping!) for others it's simply a lack of judgement on what suits and what does not. Busting Diva shoppers will guide clients through a personal shopping trip to ensure it is fun, fast and that every article bought is money well spent.

After compiling a detailed profile of clients likes, dislikes, lifestyle and wardrobe requirements they are accompanied on a shopping trip. A range of clothing will be assembled that works for every occasion. Working to budget, Busting Diva personal shoppers show clients how to identify quality, mix designer with high street and classic with fashion. Busting Diva also offers a service specifically geared to dressing for less at designer warehouse sales and from dress agencies.

"I have enjoyed the new things I bought... I am sure I will be a better shopper thanks to your motivation!"

"I had a really good time. I was so inspired that I dragged my friend out shopping on Thursday evening, all be it to Tesco, which was the only shop open after 9.00pm! Thanks... for such an enjoyable and eye opening day!"

Wardrobe Makeover

For those who didn't make it on to What Not To Wear there's still hope. Busting Diva will transform a tired, mismatched wardrobe into a closet fit for a style goddess. Its wardrobe consultants will go through the wardrobe with a trained, unbiased eye to edit and organise it and plan for future purchases.

The wardrobe makeover includes a home visit to discuss clients' requirements taking into consideration style goals and lifestyle. The existing wardrobe is thoroughly examined to determine which items are worth keeping or can be altered or re-fashioned. Consultants offer shopping tips and recommendations on items that can complete the existing wardrobe and help plan for future purchases. Busting Diva love to find new uses for old things. As well as revamping old clothes they will prepare clothes for consignment to be sold in dress agencies and finally donate unwanted items to charity.

"Thank you for all of your great work. You have given new life to our wardrobes!"

Bespoke Dressmaking

For those wanting an extra special garment, Busting Diva provides a comprehensive dressmaking service including made-to-measure dressmaking, alterations and tailoring. From creating a garment or complete outfit, including the pattern, from scratch through copying much-loved favourites to injecting fresh life into an old gem with an inspired revamp.

"... the whole process was very easy and hassle-free and the dressmaker was a pleasure to work with."

"The dress is wonderful! I couldn't have wanted a better interpretation of what I asked for, and I am really excited!"

"Thank you for all your help with my dress. It went down very well... I was told on a number of occasions I had the best hat at the wedding and that my dress was a work of art."

Style Parties

Fashion luvvies will adore Busting Diva style parties. Hole up with a group of girls, great champagne and some serious nibbles and prepare to get glam while you gossip! Busting Diva offers some novel ideas to pamper and educate on what works for your style.

The pamper parties are designed to get the most out of a wardrobe. Busting Diva supplies mini colour or style consultations while guests bring the clothes they no longer wear, cannot fit or are out-of-date. The clothing in question can be altered, revamped, refashioned or swapped as the girls have fun with their mates swapping the latest news and fashion faux pas of their pasts!
