'My husband Steve wanted to surprise me for my birthday and reserved a High Tea with clothing advice at Petra de Jonge. He had seen a flower dress in the shop window and wanted to have it made for me. Together with Petra he came up with the plan to organize a festive High Tea for me, so much fun!
After the fitting session I chose something completely different: a beautiful coat that I can combine with everything with a matching dress.
As a surprise I had the flower dress made for our wedding day, but one that Petra designed especially for me; suitable for my figure.
​
Already a few items further, it's my husband's turn: Petra is going to have a great beautiful one for him make a velvet 'dinner jacket'. Matching with a pair of trousers that have been hanging in the closet for some time.'

'Petra made several garments for me, all fitting my personality.
I loved her jeans designs, and she made especially for me a jacket. This is the way she works: creating a personal look together with her customers.'

'Walked into the studio on the Weesperzijde out of curiosity.
Unlike many women's fashion stores in the higher segment, this studio is very accessible and Petra and her team are very friendly, genuinely interested and down to earth. The love for the profession and the craftsmanship are evident.
Without any obligation, I was allowed to try on everything I liked and Petra made suggestions for what would suit my body. She really has a view on that; I was constantly surprised by what her design can do, I was challenged not to choose 'too safe' and I felt my best.
You can indicate which design, in which fabric and color you would like and they will tailor it perfectly for every body.
If you're looking for a flattering item that you can wear on a daily basis, as well as for business or a festive occasion, and which you won't find anywhere in a regular store… then Petra is the place to be!'

'I have a sweater, a cardigan and three dresses by Petra de Jonge. All items of clothing that make you happy. Because they are so flattering, so comfortable and always totally in fashion. Her dresses lend themselves to different occasions: from a reception to a meeting to a weekend at the sea. Everywhere I feel very graceful in it, and I always get the question: 'where did you get that beautiful dress?'

'A friend who had already bought several items of clothing from Petra, invited me and another friend for a Hight Tea & Bubbles Fashion Experience in Petra de Jonge's Atelier.
I wasn't planning on changing anything at all, but when Petra urged me to try on different pieces of clothing, I got excited.
I then bought two beautiful tunics: one for the summer, and one made of silk with matching leggings. I'm very happy with it!'

'It is a special way how I met Petra.
Back from a funeral I cycled past her studio.
There was a dress in the window that my late friend had loved.
We had to know and see more about that!!
We received a warm welcome and were amazed.
I wanted that too
Petra and I have made an appointment for personal advice.
She took extensive time for this, advice model, color, size, accessories.
The result is a beautiful dress, really 'written' on my body
In short, highly recommended!'

'I had a beautiful coat and matching dress made to measure by Petra de Jonge.
Her approach was professional and creative.
Beautifully finished and nice quality fabrics. Very happy with it!
Cecilia, Musician and Tour Guide.
'My husband invited me to Petra de Jonge's studio to pick out something beautiful for my birthday.
We looked at different fabrics and shapes, and in the end I chose this Top Jacket! I can come with that for the day - and evening.
Petra processed this fabric in such a way that she didn't have to cut through the jacquard pattern, and incorporated invisible pockets into it. BRAVO!'
