About
Lotte at Needleworks has been expertly altering clothing for over 20 years. In the past decade, she has specialised in special occasion wear, ensuring a perfect fit for any bridal gown, dress, or suit.
My passion for sustainable fashion and recycling shines through as I creatively fuse shirts with skirts, ties, and trousers, and anything in-between. However, the shortening of hems and replacement of broken zips are still just as rewarding.

Since briefly venturing into the world of prom dress sales in 2025, I realized that there is a gap in the market for this expensive event. Why buy new when the dress has been worn for a few hours and rarely worn again? I want to give people more choice, to bridge the gap between buying new and from and online shop or charity shop.
This is where my dress agency Second Occasion excels.
Second Occasion is dedicated to giving special occasion wear a second chance to shine. Whether you have a bridal gown, prom dress, or any other special attire that is in excellent condition, Second Occasion is the perfect place to find it a new home.
Selling through Second Occasion is simple too. The process is straightforward and hassle-free, ensuring that your once-loved dress can be enjoyed by someone else.
