You can feel comfortable leaving your precious clothing and costumes in my capable hands. My experience ranges from doing simple hems, to tailoring very complex, expensive garments and costumes. Because I make clothing as well as alter it, I have a broad base of tools and solutions I can put to use in fitting and serving you. I personally do all of the work. I specialize in bridal and special occasion fabrics, including chiffon and stretch knits, as well as all woven fabrics. I welcome more challenging and time consuming re-sizing and restyling work that many alterationists won’t attempt. My clients come in all sizes and ages, and include: Brides and Bridesmaids Mothers of the Wedding Prom and Homecoming Teens Pageant Competitors Career Women Ballroom and Latin Dancers Irish Dance Soloists My services cover a wide range, including: Hems of all kind - from jeans to bridal gowns Sides in or out in bodices, waistbands, etc. Gown Bustling in a variety of styles Bust & Dress Support - bra cups, boning, stays Jacket/Suit Tailoring Sleeve Shortening Stretch Knit alterations of all kind Steam Pressing Dresses and Gowns Restyling Garments - simple to complex changes to update a style or modify proportions to better flatter you Style Consulting - for an hourly fee, I will assess your clothing items for style, fit, and fashionability, and give honest but kind suggestions, e.g. keep it /alter it /or toss it! Turnaround time is normally 7-10 business days, though can be longer based on my work schedule. Turnaround of less than 5 days may be available, but will incur a rush fee. Just call and ask! My pricing is competitive, and I will provide a specific estimate or a price range on all your garments once I have seen them, so you can choose what work you would like to have done. Over the phone or email, I can only provide a rough starting price until I have actually seen your garment. Services I typically don’t provide: home décor, outerwear zippers, reweaving.

Bustling: Wedding gown on left with full train extended. At right gown is bustled (tied up via a number of loops/ribbons) to allow for movement at the reception and dance. |

Bustle Tip:
Many brides choose to wear high heels for the wedding ceremony, then switch to flipflops or other lower shoes for the reception and dance. The front of the dress will be hemmed for the ceremony shoes, and the back of the dress will be bustled for the lower shoes. This works best if both pair of shoes has a similar sole/platform height at the front of the shoe. Be sure to bring along both pair of shoes to your appointments. |
