Welcome to the online home of
divine inspirations!

divine inspirations in Alexandria has been  at their new Hampshire location since 2002.

 A native of Exeter, NH, Michele Wiggs, owner, operated her custom sewing and design studio in Fort Lauderdale, FL for 12 years before returning to New Hampshire and relocating the business. Her garments have been worn to such events as the Grammy Awards and White House Inaugural Balls. "Fitting is the whole difference in how an outfit looks", says Michele, and her years of experience have given her much expertise in this field.

The shop is a unique blend of custom designed bridal, formal, and special occasion wear, vintage clothing and reproductions, jewelry, and accessories for your outfit or your home! One of the specialties is upscale chair covers and table linens, for a dinner for two or a complete wedding! Bridal gowns can be custom made, ready made gowns altered, and heirloom gown resized or redesigned to keep that family sentiment.

Michele also produces a Red Hat fashion show each Valentine's day for the Alexandria Historical Society as a fundraiser for that organization in their "Tucker House" restoration project.  Local Red Hatters model fashions designed by Michele, which usually follow a theme such as "Red Hat Fashion through the Ages".  This and other fashion shows are available to other interested groups. 

Currently, Michele is working on a project for transplant awareness, and is planning a fashion show using vintage and recycled fashion with transplant recipients modeling, to promote organ donation, help raise funds for those in need of transplants who need financial aid, and as a tribute to those families who have given the precious gift of life!

Monograms and other machine embroidery are also available, on your item or theirs, and make great wedding or birthday gifts. Michele keeps a "stash" of interesting fabrics for your purchase or to help you visualize your gown, and samples of many available fabrics also.

One doesn't expect to find this interesting and unique little studio out past Frosty's Dairy Bar on Fowler River Road, but it is well worth the drive!  You can have a cup of tea, and just feast your eyes on the variety of textures, colors and styles - you never know what you will find!
