2021 Brides (and perhaps earlier!)

 Pictured below are dresses I have altered for weddings that occurred in 2019, 20, & 21. The alterations might include a hem, taking in the sides of the dress, shortening the straps, adding sleeves, or adding a bustle to name a few.
My goal is for your dress to fit properly so you can feel confident and
​Sew Glorious!

When Sara came to me, her dress was too small! (Yep... a mix-up at the bridal shop.) So, I completely rebuilt the back of the dress. I also traded in that zipper for some beautiful buttons.

I love a dramatic picture! ----------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Reeja (on the right) came to me with a beautiful ballgown. It needed to be reshaped at the hips, hemmed (lots of lace, folks) and of course, bustled. I was so pleased with the end result. Sparks flew as she got married on the Fourth of July!

Updating Her Mother's Wedding Dress

Shannon came to me with her mom's dress from the 80's (complete with those big puffy sleeves). I also happened to have a vintage gown (donated to me from a dear family friend) from the 50's sitting in my spare room closet. That dress had trim on it in the form of knife-pleats (very skinny pleats). I used that lace to trim Shannon's dress around the bottom and on the custom-made sleeves that were added. I also placed over 140 buttons trailing down the back. ---->>>

Mini-Mony!

Alyssa (left) like many brides during 2020 was having a mini-mony. She brought me this fun pleated dress. It had long sleeves and she really didn't want to sweat on her wedding day. I shorted the lace on the sleeves which resulted in creating a beautiful eyelash trim. I also took in the sides so she wasn't swimming in her dress. She looks so pretty! (and don't you LOVE that pleated skirt?

Creating a Dream Dress for my Daughter

Below is an example of some of the extra touches I can do to add to the beauty or originality to your wedding gown. My daughter (Blayre) fell in love with a Maggie Sottero sample sale dress. After she purchased it, she told me she wanted pearls added to it and she felt like "something was missing." I created a low back and I added over 300 pearls to the dress. I also placed a chiffon ruffle across the sweetheart neckline to make it look like a french bustier! The dress was heavy, so I added an internal corset to keep it from slipping. I also removed the zipper and added functional buttons (from MY bridal gown) and loops to the dress.  The coolest part about all of this is that her gown was a completely unique reflection of her ... and her wedding was chosen to be featured in The Knot! How exciting!

... and don't forget the bustle!

I LOVE to create bustles that are unique ​and
match the style of your dress.
