City-Engaged Feminity

Here in our maison, we define each person individually, taking into account all aspects of the wearer’s body type, and then recommend either our ready-made clothing selection or bespoke clothing uniquely made just for you.

As Yves Saint Laurent has said: ‘Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who’s wearing it.’

Our everyday work is divided into two parts: the first part is offering ready-to-wear items from the clothing rack. These have been designed by heart with enormous amount of work hours added into. Mostly we offer each item uniquely, one item of each, but always ask from us, as we might have some materials left and can still offer it for you.

The second part is bespoke clothing, meaning I will design something individually meant for you, we will carefully select materials and take the measurements. Once the price offer has been approved, we will start the process of pattern cutting and making the garment for you. Be ready for 1-2 rehearsals in between, however, we are flexible in making items without any rehearsals and sending the garment to you by courier, whether this is a special dress, everyday coat, top, shirt or workwear, our aim is to make something special for you crafted individually in the highest quality possible.

Our Story

ALEXANDERLING is named after the designer Anu Ling’s grandfather whose youth was back in 1940s – the era of body emphasising and draped dresses. It is the uttermost feminine handwriting of time that dictates the brand’s creation. Designed and made exquisitely in Tallinn, the dresses are focused on ease of the body.

The Estonian based brand was created in 2016 and honours domestic high-quality tailoring. ALEXANDERLING’s collections are represented twice a year at Tallinn Fashion Week and are available in atelier and the largest design stores of Levi in Tallinn and Tartu.

In addition to bi-annual collections presented, her bespoke brand A. LING concentrates on each of the wearer individually – would it be a button up shirt, dress with pockets for work, perfectly fitted trench coat or even bridal wear, suit for the groom, a graduation dress or something special for you to have in your wardrobe for the infinity – whether womenswear or tailored menswear.

This is a process requiring one to two rehearsals depending on the severity of alternations made having the item made exactly for you. Please bare in mind the order time may be up to 4 weeks starting with a consultation and hand picking the fabrics from the maison or our fabric suppliers in the Netherlands, Spain and Italy, however, our the final production time will be calculated upon the first meeting depending on the difficulty of the design.

In addition to bespoke clothing, we do offer repair service to all items made by us or for your favourite items from your own wardrobe, so should there be a need for repairing or any changes to your clothing, please ask us directly.

Founder & Creative Director

Anu Ling

ALEXANDERLING brand represents femininity through utmost quality in tailoring by artisans who work with a passion in a family-like team in Tallinn.

‘I truly believe in adding luxury to our everyday lives. I dream of a world that transcends fast fashion, where each meticulously crafted piece not only endures but also deeply connects with its beholder, thanks to the sensory delight of its design and fittings through the hands of the best Estonian tailors. Our studio’s tailors are the most professional ones in Estonia with more than 25 years of experience. This above is what I was thought during gaining my degree at Anglia Ruskin University, in England and I contribute it every day.

I created the brand named in honour of my grandfather – valuing the craftsmanship of the tailors of the 1940s, Alexander Ling’s youth era. I love to connect with a client, this offers an invaluable feedback and allows me and my team to maintain an unmatched standard of customer service.’
