Meet the creative behind Fit and flair, Nia
Hi there, I’m Nia!
There are no words to describe the level of gratitude I have for the life I live, owning a small business, creating fulfilling relationships with beautiful brides all over the Idaho Treasure Valley, and getting to work with gorgeous dresses every day.
My journey with the needle began as a childhood passion for creation, eventually leading me to the charming, fashion-loving city of Turin, Italy. It was there, surrounded by Italian flair and artistry, that I spent years mastering the craft of bespoke bridal design and construction.
From working in the atelier of made-to-measure bridal designer Elena Pignata to hand-crafting my own custom gowns, my time in Italy was a beautiful masterclass in bespoke sewing. Today, I’ve brought those European techniques back home to Boise. I launched Fit and Flair to give local brides a restorative, artisan experience—where custom skill meets your unique love story.
What I do when not in My studio:
I am an avid dancer and instructor of a Brazilian couples dance called Zouk, with my partner in both life and dance, Ben
I spend much time with my two beloved kitties, Juju and Silver
I love to read! The most captivating story I have read to date is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (YES to the audiobook)
I love cooking and baking, but am incapable of following recipes exactly, so I never repeat an exact dish twice
I’m in a singing/songwriting duo with my sister
