We used Rachel for our blinds, curtains and cushions and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. They look absolutely first class and the whole process from start to finish was a breeze. Would recommend Rachel and her team to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you!

I highly recommend Rachel's Made to Measure. The prices are very competitive, finished to an extremely high standard, with great attention to detail; very knowledgeable, advising on the perfect length of curtain to suit the window. The roman blind was handmade & looks beautiful.
