Meet Konstantina

Konstantina Papalexandri, the visionary behind Silk & Sequins, lives in Carlow, Ireland, and grew up in Greece. Her grandparents, both skilled tailors, greatly influenced her and instilled in her a deep love for sewing and creating elegant garments.

By the age of 14, Konstantina was already designing and sewing her own pieces, a passion that led her to study Fashion Design and Pattern Making in Greece to refine her skills. She has had a rich career designing lingerie, loungewear, and sportswear for various companies in Greece, as well as working as a pattern maker. However, her true passion has always been the creation of elegant, high-quality feminine gowns.

Her unique, one-of-a-kind dresses reflect her dedication to timeless fashion and quality craftsmanship.

Konstantina founded Silk & Sequins in 2023 with a mission to inspire women to dress classy and be able to have a unique dress, that looks exactly the way they have dreamt about and that will fit them perfectly, flattering their body type and shape and also representing who they are.

A well-made pattern is essential for a flattering dress and proper fit. Konstantina ensures that each pattern is tailored to the client’s measurements and body shape, providing the perfect foundation before the creation process begins. Her mission is to offer exquisite, bespoke gowns for any occasion.

She specializes in creating elegant dresses for wedding guests, bridesmaids, races, special events, and any momentous occasion where clients desire something truly unique. Known for her love of black and white, which she finds inherently elegant, Konstantina's designs are characterized by their timeless appeal and meticulous attention to detail.
