What I Do

Bridal Alterations

Your wedding dress is the most important garment you'll ever wear — and it deserves to fit as if it was made for you alone. With extensive bridal alteration experience including time at David's Bridal, I understand exactly what it takes to transform an off-the-rack gown into something that feels completely custom. Every fitting is unhurried, every stitch deliberate.

Includes

  • Hem adjustments (standard, cathedral, horsehair)
  • Bustle addition (American, French, Austrian)
  • Taking in or letting out (bodice, waist, hips)
  • Strap adjustments and additions
  • Corset back conversion and boning work
  • Lace and beading repair and transfer
  • Veil customization and attachment
  • Train preservation and preservation prep

Pricing

$75 – $450+

Everyday Tailoring

Off-the-rack clothes are made for a statistical average that fits almost nobody perfectly. Tailoring changes that. Whether it's a pair of trousers you love but can never get right, a dress that's close but not quite, or a jacket that needs to come in through the waist — I handle it cleanly, quickly, and affordably.

Includes

  • Pants and trouser hemming
  • Dress and skirt alterations
  • Jacket and blazer tailoring
  • Zipper replacement and repair
  • Waist and seat adjustments
  • Sleeve shortening and tapering
  • Side seam adjustments

Pricing

$20 – $120

Custom & Repairs

Some garments deserve more than a quick fix. Vintage pieces carry history and require a careful hand. Costumes require creativity under construction constraints. Special occasion wear demands the same level of attention as bridal work. I take on these projects with the same care I give every garment that comes through my door.

Includes

  • Vintage garment restoration and repair
  • Costume construction and alterations
  • Patch and structural repair
  • Lining replacement
  • Mother-of-the-bride and special occasion alterations
  • Bridesmaid dress alterations
  • Heirloom garment preservation

How Pricing Works

Consultation First

Every project starts with a consultation so I can assess the garment, understand your needs, and give you an accurate quote — not a ballpark.

No Surprise Charges

The price I quote is the price you pay. If something unexpected comes up during the work, I'll discuss it with you before proceeding.

Complexity & Timeline

Pricing reflects fabric type, alteration complexity, and your timeline. Rush requests may carry an additional fee — always communicated upfront.
