what's this all about?
The Bridal Seamstress Society was built for the woman behind the needle, the expert whose hands have stitched hundreds of dreams, but who still feels invisible, underpaid or unsure how to build a successful bridal alterations and dressmaking business.
Whether you’re a bridal seamstress, fashion grad, or start up, this space was made for you.
We’re here to help you stop stitching for scraps and start building a bridal business that pays you properly, fills your soul, and gives you the freedom you thought you’d never have.
Because let’s be honest, this industry hasn’t made it easy.
Sound familiar?
- You started your business for freedom… but feel more trapped and burnt out than ever.
- You’ve mastered your craft, but still feel like you’re “just a seamstress” instead of a respected expert.
- You want to charge more, but fear being judged, rejected or losing clients.
- You’re constantly watching others rise while you wonder, “What am I doing wrong?”
- You’ve got big dreams, your own studio, your own label, real income, but no idea how to get there.
- You feel stuck behind the seams, while your work makes everyone else shine.
If that’s you… you’re not broken, lazy, or behind.
You’re a powerhouse with untapped business potential and no one ever showed you how to own it.
Here’s the truth…
Running a bridal business is like being on a runway with no lights. You’re making it up as you go, piecing together pricing, policies, and marketing with duct tape and guesswork.
No one handed you a guide.
No one told you what to charge.
No one taught you how to scale or how to say no or how to build something that runs without you burning out.
That’s exactly why I created The Bridal Seamstress Society.

WHO AM I?
Hi, I’m Tusneem Jabbar, and I’ve been in the bridal industry for 30 years, long before Instagram made it glamorous. I started out just like you: passionate, talented, and utterly clueless about how to run a business. I worked long hours, charged too little, and let everyone else’s deadlines rule my life. But something shifted. I realised I didn’t want to be just a brilliant seamstress. I wanted a brilliant life too. So I decided to stop winging it, and learn how to run my business like a REAL business.And that one decision changed everything.
Today, I’ve built a multiple six figure bridal alterations and dressmaking business, mentored women around the world, and created a blueprint to help others do the same, without the burnout, self doubt, or working yourself into the ground.
So, what happens here?
The Bridal Seamstress Society is your go to hub for turning skill into success. Here’s what you’ll find:
- The Bridal Business Blueprint - My self paced course showing you how to build a profitable bridal business from scratch, with structure, strategy in your own time at your own pace.
- "SEAM TO SUCCESS" workshops - Live with me group workshops that take you through the five key steps to turn your bridal skills into a thriving, respected business.
- 1:1 mentoring - Personalised support for seamstresses and start ups ready to fast track their growth, raise their rates and run like a pro.

- The Bridal Workflow Bundle (Coming Soon)- Your shortcut to streamlined systems, ready to use templates and a smoother more professional way to run your business. An essential workflow bundle.
Why I do what I do
Because this about rewriting the rules, charging what you’re worth, standing tall in a room full of industry experts, and finally saying: I’m not just a seamstress I’m the business owner. And I want every woman who’s ever been behind the curtain to finally step into the spotlight. So, if you’re tired of working yourself to the bone for pennies…If you’re ready to build a bridal business that actually supports the life you want…If you want to learn how I went from overworked to well paid (and teach you how to do it too)…You’re in the right place.
Let’s make this the season you finally rise!
With love & belief in you,
Tusneem xx

BEHIND THE BUSINESS?
Now for the human stuff! :)
- I live in the UK with my husband Usman, who’s been my rock throughout this journey, and our son Adam, who’s 15 and the light of my life.
- I’m dyslexic. So nothing in life or business ever came easy. But I’m a lifelong learner, always improving, always questioning how things can be better and I think that mindset is one of the most powerful tools any woman in business can have.
- I’m not a formal, corporate type.
- I’ll make you laugh I'm sure, while teaching you how to double your income.
- I love to cook.
- We plan to move to Dubai soon.
- And I’m not your typical girly girl. an alpha female if you like. I love supercars and fast drives.
That’s me :) x
