Let’s make your dream dress fit like a dream…
Hi! So nice to meet you, I’m so glad you’re here! Congrats on your engagement! I’m sure you’ve been envisioning yourself walking down the aisle, or having that “first look” with your fiancé. Are you ready to bring that vision to life?
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I’ve developed my skills to become a professional bridal alterations specialist.

Getting started
Wedding season fills up extremely fast and bridal spots are limited, so it’s important to get on my calendar as soon as you can.
I recommend filling out my Bridal Inquiry Form when you purchase/order your wedding dress. Click the button below to get started:
After you fill out the form, I will contact you within 48 bours and send a welcome email. The welcome email will have information about the alterations process and my fitting packages. Each bride is required to choose the fitting package that works best for them. These packages help me to tailor my services to the needs of each bride, whether you just need fittings, want me to steam your dress and veil, or you want complete bridal gown care including cleaning and preservation. Please note that the cost of alterations is in addition to the fitting package. Alterations pricing information can be found here.
Once you pay for your package, your wedding date is saved on my books. We will stay in touch and I will let you know when it’s time to book your first fitting with me. Typically, bridal alterations begin about 12 weeks before the wedding.
Here is what a typical bridal alterations timeline looks like:
Why choose a professional bridal seamstress over a general tailor?
Your wedding gown isn’t just another dress–it’s the dress! It deserves the skill set of someone who understands the artistry and complexity of bridal wear. Whether it’s hand-beading, lace applique, or horsehair hems, a bridal seamstress ensures the craftsmanship matches the quality of your gown.
Beyond the sewing, I understand the emotions, timeline, and care that must go into this once-in-a-lifetime moment. You’ll feel heard and supported every step of the way.
