About
“When crafting bespoke dresses, it's particularly crucial
to reserve a space for amazement and the unexpected,
enabling you to derive a unique delight from it.”

The woman is captured in a sleeveless gown, an ethereal creation that marries softness and structure. The dress is embellished with a tender floral print, the pale roses and blooms scattered across a backdrop of sheer, pastel fabric that glows against the dark void around her. It cinches delicately at the waist before spilling into a gentle flare, skimming the floor with a whisper of romance.
The gown's neckline plunges in the back to a tasteful V, accentuating the elegance of her bare shoulders and the gentle curve of her spine. The fabric seems to catch an unseen breeze, adding a sense of movement to the stillness. She stands poised, her posture a silent testament to a refined grace, her profile partially revealed as she looks off into the distance. The simplicity of the gown, devoid of any ostentatious embellishment, allows the beauty of the fabric and the wearer to shine unadorned.

I’m a dressmaker rooted in traditional tailoring, exploring where craft meets technology.
My journey began in Vilnius with formal training in sewing, where I developed a deep respect for precision, structure, and the quiet discipline of bespoke menswear. That foundation shaped how I think, design, and create.
Everything changed during the pandemic. I discovered the work of Madeleine Vionnet – her mastery of bias-cut draping – and the possibilities of 3D design through CLO. The combination felt natural. Her revolutionary approach became a guide, and CLO became my tool.
In 2022, I founded Bias Cut Woman — a space where craftsmanship, digital exploration, and the female form meet. I now create dresses that live in both worlds: digitally draped, physically wearable. Every design is a study in elegance, movement, and thoughtful construction.
Today I live and work in Luxembourg as a full-time independent creator. I continue to explore how tradition and innovation can shape the future of dressmaking — one pattern, one garment at a time.
Every pattern I design is an invitation – not only to wear, but to feel.
