About Sabrina Lee

Where Art Meets a Perfect Fit

I'm Sabrina – a sewing fanatic and designer based in Cary, NC, with a passion for transforming forgotten fabrics into wearable art. Living in the Triangle Area, I discovered that beautiful textiles can be found in the most unexpected places. When local fabric stores fell short of what I needed, thrifted treasures—from old curtains and blankets to antique textiles—became my muse.

My Journey & Craft

My journey into design is rooted in a relentless pursuit of excellence. I honed my skills at renowned institutions like Central St. Martins and the London College of Fashion, and further refined my craft in intensive tailoring workshops in Dublin, Ireland, and couture sewing workshops led by Susan Khalje. This blend of classical training and hands-on experimentation taught me that the secret to extraordinary clothing lies in the details—from the precision of pattern drafting to the artful execution of each seam.

Every dress I create is a celebration of thoughtful design and meticulous tailoring. In my home studio, I pour my heart into each limited-edition piece, ensuring that every garment not only tells its own unique story but also fits flawlessly. My focus has always been on designing clothing that flatters your natural silhouette, empowering you with both confidence and elegance—whether you're headed to the boardroom or an artful evening out.

A Design-First Philosophy

At Sabrina Lee, design and fit are paramount. I believe that a great dress is more than fabric and thread—it’s an experience. My work is characterized by clean lines, refined silhouettes, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Every garment is handcrafted with care, combining vintage charm with modern tailoring techniques to deliver pieces that are as unique as you are.
