Riina Rinkineva-Young’s Summary

I received my qualification as a dressmake over 10 years ago. Since then, I have made an odd gown here and there, but never really considered it as a full time job until I made a wedding dress for myself and my husband started pestering me to start a business. I resisted for few years, but the idea started to grow on me and now I am doing the taking the first steps at making my living by designing wedding dresses. I have received a lot of praise and comments like "I wish I could get married all over again" but I have yet to reach the actual brides!

Riina Rinkineva-Young’s Experience

Bridal Fashion Designer

Sebastyne Designs

(Textiles industry)

July 2008 — Present (1 year 5 months)

I design and make one of a kind wedding dresses that are made of 100% natural materials, like cotton. My dresses stand out of the crowd with their unique materials and quirky designs, I am not one to follow what others are doing, I like to do things that nobody else is doing... At least I try to wonder as far off the beaten track as I can. :)
