Polbymade is an exciting new venture by Polly Stokes, a Canberra designer with more than ten years experience in designing and making distinctive one-of-a-kind garments for wedding, formal and everyday wear.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Fashion Design from CIT in 2005, Polly lived in Japan for 18 months, immersing herself in the culture and expanding her knowledge of traditional and modern Japanese fashion.
Polly’s signature is the innovative use of traditional Japanese fabrics in contemporary designs. Her extensive work with vintage Japanese textiles has led her to the exclusive use of high quality natural fabrics including silk, cotton and wool.
Experienced in creating bespoke and ready-to-wear garments from wedding dresses to accessories, theatre costumes, business and casual wear, no challenge is beyond Polly’s creative ability.
Polly’s experience in sewing tuition comes from working with a wide range of students, beginners and advanced sewers, using sewing machines and overlockers from leading brands including Bernina, Brother, Singer and Pfaff.
