Meet Anthea

Zeebo Creations was birthed in Tauranga after I moved back to New Zealand, having worked overseas for 10 years. The Business is named after my husband’s special Albanian grandmother, who we loved.

Upon graduating from the School of Fashion in Wellington, where I completed a diploma in Clothing and Textiles in the late 80’s, I moved to Melbourne and worked for The Bridal Palace Boutique in leading the design, construction, fittings and alterations department. It was there I discovered my love of Bridal wear. I then moved to London to advance my career, working under two world-renowned designers including Zandra Rhodes, where I gained unique insights into couture pattern making and construction.

30+ years on, I count it a privilege to create and construct beautiful gowns for gorgeous brides. Based on Auckland’s North Shore, I have contracted to Rue De Seine Bridal in the manufacturing space, and led the alterations department at Jessica Bridal while running Zeebo Creations.

I am open Monday to Saturday by appointment only, and look forward to assisting you with all of your bridal dressmaking requirements.

Anthea has been amazing to work with. I had a bit of a nightmare with a dress I ordered elsewhere and I contacted Anthea with only a month to my wedding. From the moment I spoke with her, I was instantly relaxed and relieved. She knew what design I was after from me only explaining it. We discussed material and had a few fittings. It felt like I have known her all my life. I highly recommend Anthea and will be recommending her to friends.

Anthea is amazing and so talented - she helped make my dream dress fit like a glove! She has an eye for detail and knew exactly what my dress needed before I did. By the time she worked her magic, my dress was perfect for me, complete with a built in push up bra, dancing bustle and even a beautiful pearl veil to go with it that Anthea had made herself. Anthea was so lovely to deal with throughout the process, friendly, reliable, and great at communicating. Definitely recommend to any bride to be for a seamless alterations process!

Anthea has been absolutely incredible throughout the whole process of tailoring my dress. From the communication, to the experience, to the final result. My dress fits me like a glove, and it looks/feels incredible. Thank you so much, Anthea!

Anthea was a dream to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and special whilst doing fittings for my wedding dress and creating my bolero. They both turned out absolutely perfect, which is a result of her amazing talent as a seamstress. I could not recommend her services enough, thank you again Anthea!

Anthea is perfection. I had trouble finding a wedding dress and thought I’d never fall in love with a dress like most do. I found a dress that I liked but Anthea altered it to be the most perfect dress. She’s a perfectionist, which was great as I didn’t have to worry through the process and the outcome of the dress. She is like Cinderella’s fairy godmother (but more beautiful) 💙.
