I have been in the Bridal dress business for over 30 years.  Altering wedding dresses takes special skills and knowledge. The wedding dress fit should be worthy of a lifetime of memories from a single day. 

Mentored by many wonderful bridal shops, I performed alterations for thousands of brides.  I make sure all bridal dress alterations look like a natural extension of the original dress.

I love love LOVE gorgeous laces, soft silks, and crispy taffetas.  When I walk into my sewing room and look at the beautiful dresses that need my TLC, I just smile.
