Here, you can expect a personal, fun experience. I don't like rushing clients or making you feel just like someone in a crowd. Changes I make to a gown are beautiful and expertly tailored. We always go over the best ways to alter your gown and what the process and budget look like, so that you can make informed and confident decisions about your wedding gown!
I love celebrating with people and thrive in high emotion and energy. I always knew I wanted to work with women in some capacity growing up, but never dreamed it would also involve the most beautiful garments ever!
I get to play dress up everyday at my job and LOVE IT! Connecting with my brides just like you, and other formal clients, is such a joy for me, and I hope you get to feel a bit of my love and excitement for your journey when we work together!

On average, standard alterations for a gown that fits very well, run between $600-$1200 for alterations. Standard alterations include, hem, bustle, change out but cups, adjust shoulders or straps, etc.
Gowns that need a full resize or major custom design changes, as well as standard alterations, start around $1200 on average.
So many design changes can be made to gown. Depending on the structure of the gown and the fit desired some dresses require additional alterations to make those customizations work. Most of the time these alterations work beautifully, but it helps to go over the options while you are in the dress and your seamstress can see the structure of the gown on your body. I love to doing custom changes!
Every human deserves to have a beautiful gown fit that will function well with them throughout their day.
For Brides, you should get on the schedule of a seamstress right after you buy your gown. In my studio I like to have the 1st alterations appointment booked 10-12 weeks before the wedding date. Alterations can be completed in less time if necessary, but those appointments are considered a priority turn around and have additional costs.
The priority turn around costs:
9-8 week turn around $150 (or 25% of the total cost of alterations)
7-6 week turn around $250 (or 30% of the total cost of alterations)
5-4 week turn around $350 (or 35% of the total cost of alterations)
3-2 week turn around $450 (or 45% of the total cost of alterations)
