Wayland Custom Tailor Closing Up Shop

WAYLAND, MA — After more than a decade in business, a customer tailor in Wayland is retiring and closing up shop.

Design By Roula, owned by seamstress Roula Tsiouma, will close by March 1. Tsiouma is moving back to Greece to spend time with family, according to a social media post.

"After 10 years plus Roula has decided that it’s time for her to move back to Greece and be with her family. From the bottom of her heart she thanks each and every one of you for supporting her all these years," the business wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.

Design By Roula operates out of a home at 62 West Plain Street. The business churned out all types of textiles for men and women, from furniture coverings to wedding dresses — and in recent months, custom face masks.
