The simple answer is we alter wedding and formal gowns. We adjust straps, take in and let out waists and hips, raise up waists, add lace, take off lace, shorten hem lines, add in corset backs, add sleeves and recreate necklines. The list goes on but that’s technical stuff. It’s all important but we want you to ask yourself “How do I want to feel in my wedding dress?”

You might think the answer is fairly obvious but it really depends on you. We think beautiful, comfortable and confident are probably safe assumptions. But there are other things to consider. Some people want their gowns as snug as possible, some want lots of breathing room. Some want their gowns ankle-length because they are being married outdoors on the grass and don’t want to risk tripping. Some want their gowns to pool at their feet. Just as there are individual bodies and tastes, so there are many variables WE need to consider.

So, you ask. How do we get there? Well, we work as partners – keeping in mind that it’s a balancing act. We recognize the importance of providing you with a relaxed and very professional space to make decisions, decisions that will make you happy. But you know more about how you feel than I do. And you have the vision. So you tell us what look you want. We will pin and take notes and possibly some photographs. Our role is to ask questions to get to know you and the details about your wedding day. Then you entrust us with your gown and we work diligently to transform the bridal gown to suit your individual figure and accentuate your assets.

And we want you to love your dress. Really love it! We want you to step into that dress and feel like a million bucks. We want you to be able to walk confidently into a room knowing that that dress expresses your individuality and fits you perfectly. We want you to look at yourself in the mirror and say, “WOW!” That’s why you are considering coming to us. Because we promise you we will not be happy until or unless you are happy.
