Mia

Meet Mia, our enthusiastic assistant and inventory manager at Rachel’s Custom Sewing! Fresh out of high school and taking a gap year before deciding what to study at university, Mia’s interest in fashion—and her knack for exploring new things—makes her a perfect fit for our team. While some may prefer flipping burgers, Mia found her passion sorting through threads at RCS, where the atmosphere is far more inspiring and rewarding.

As a twin, this role has given Mia the chance to step out of the shared shadow and shine in her own unique way. Her parents didn’t see the career potential in alterations—until they received a bill and realized it’s far more skilled and lucrative than simply “cutting a hem for a friend.” Now, Mia is diving headfirst into the fascinating world of tailoring, proving that there’s so much more to the craft.

Mia is meticulous and creative, with a flair for making hair bows and pairing statement earrings with her outfits. At RCS, she’s already taken on the role of inventory manager, keeping tabs on our thread, veil, and sleeve sample collections. She also manages wedding dress cleaning from start to finish, under supervision, ensuring every gown is handled with care and precision.

Currently training as an assistant, Mia has started learning the deep subject of alterations. From prepping zips and seams with a scalpel to mastering the art of cutting and sewing, she’s excited to grow her skills and contribute to the high standards of craftsmanship we value at RCS. With her sharp eye for detail and creative energy, Mia fits seamlessly into our dream team as we craft visions with care and precision.
