About

Now at 2 locations to better meet your needs.

Downtown Lancaster and Southern York, PA

Both locations are by appointment only.

I have been involved in the wedding industry for over 20 years now from working for some great vendors, to set up and managing some wonderful shops and boutiques to owning my own business.
My forte’ has always been alterations and re-design work and I do enjoy the challenge of designing from scratch.
Taking that flat piece of fabric, inspiration from my client and bringing it all to life.
Recently I have added to my services personal dressing and styling.

My big sister is absolutely amazing

My big sister is absolutely amazing and so extremely talented. I have a disability and she helped design and make both my senior prom dress and both of my night to shine dresses long distance and she did an amazing job. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else besides my big sister to make my dresses.

So caring and kind!

Michelle was amazing! She was very responsive to texts, and always listened to my concerns with my wedding dress. I spent a lot of money on my dress and it was the only dress I liked so I was very worried when choosing someone for alterations. I made the right choice! Michelle finished my dress in a short amount of time, created a beautiful bustle, and made sure I loved my dress before I left every appointment. Will always recommend her!!
