After reading this book, these women were inspired to change careers and become Master Bridal Alterations Specialists.

The Anderson Bridal Alterations Academy is a fantastic online bridal alterations program. I went through the academy after starting my sewing/alterations business and learned as I worked with clients. The knowledge and skills I’ve gained after completing the courses have truly been a valuable investment. Dee Dee is a great teacher, with lots of patience and really takes the time to answer questions to assure that I understand what I’m doing as well as doing it correctly. I am so glad I made the investment! Post completion of the academy, I still have ongoing access to the materials, like having a digital library or textbooks when needed. I highly recommend the program or courses!

Although I have been sewing since 1990 and graduated with a sewing degree, I have learnt so much from Dee Dee. Some major things and some smaller detail that just made the alterations process quicker (more money) and easier. She was always ready to help if I had a problem. Her videos are very clear and easy to follow and her support during the process is phenomenal. Thanks Dee Dee, you changed my life.

— Ronel Van Bosch

Working with Dee Dee from The Anderson Alteration Academy was genuinely life changing for me and was the start of a very rewarding career in Bridal Alterations. I live in Maine so breaking into this sort of business can be tough – especially being in my 20’s, during the COVID lock down. The Academy gave me the know-how I needed to be able to walk into any fitting with confidence and pride in my own skills, but also to know when to say no and stand up for myself. I love that I can go back and refresh on any of the materials as needed and that Dee Dee is only a text away if I have a tricky situation pop up. I will be eternally grateful, thank you!!

The Anderson’s Alterations Academy was so beneficial for me! I learned countless new skills, time saving techniques, and ways to make my work more professional and sustainable.

If ever I have a question about an alteration, Dee Dee’s course is always right there with any help I need.

— Rebekah Cook

As a professional seamstress specializing in bridal and formalwear, I can’t recommend DeeDee Anderson and The Anderson Academy enough. I completed her course in 2020, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I made for my business. DeeDee has this incredible ability to teach not just the skills you need but also how to approach this career with confidence. Her approach is practical, thorough, and focused on preparing you for real-world situations. Her passion for bridal alterations shines through every lesson, and she has a genuine heart for her students’ success. One of the biggest assets of this course is the video library. I find myself going back to it often when I need a refresher, and DeeDee regularly adds new content to keep it fresh and relevant. The ongoing support makes a huge difference, especially in a constantly evolving field like bridal alterations. This course is absolutely worth the investment, and it will set you up with everything you need to start your career in this in-demand field. If you’re serious about building a career in this industry, this is the course you need.
