    The Perfect Gown!

    I found Just Sew while researching local alterations and Renee had raving reviews, so I decided to give it a try. The whole team was so sweet and helpful and flexible to make appointments as needed. My dress fit absolutely perfectly and I could not be more thankful. The skirt on my gown had 8 layers and Renee expertly altered each one to fit me perfectly. I absolutely recommend to anyone in the area who needs an expert alteration. Absolutely perfect job!

    Truly the best wedding gown alterations!

    I am so glad that I chose Renee and her team to alter my wedding dress. Renee, Laura, and Bea are amazing, kind, and incredibly talented. They understood exactly what I wanted for my dress and I have never felt more beautiful. I was so happy with it! In addition to 2-3 fitting appointments, Renee was very kind to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment the Monday before my wedding when I realized there was one more change that needed to be made for the dress. They are the best-- I am so grateful for their attention to detail, responsiveness, and hard work! I would choose Just Sew by Renee again in a heartbeat.

    Look No Further!

    Had my wedding dress altered here. I was a little worried because I knew it would need a lot of work, but my concerns immediately disappeared upon my first fitting. When I picked it up a few weeks later it fit perfectly! Look no further. You wont be disappointed!

    Just Sew Bridal Alterations's reply:

    Thank you so much Julie! It was great to work with you. I'm glad we were able to lessen your stress and you looked so beautiful!

    Renee' is absolutely fantastic! I found her while Google searching wedding alteration and just from the reviews alone I took one of the best chances with my couture wedding dress! She is amazing, her customer service isn't measurable! If you want outstanding customer service with a warm and sincere heart, she's the seamstress for the job whether big or small!

    High recommend

    Renee was so patient with all of my requests (even when I changed my mind twice). She gave me exactly what I wanted in my dress and I could not have been happier with the finished product. The bustle she made was incredible, looked amazing, and kept the dress from getting trampled all night. Finally, she made my strapless dress the perfect size and gave me recommendations for tape so I didn't have to shimmy and pull at the dress all night. I highly recommend.

    Great Team!

    Renee and Bea are a dream team! They were a preferred vendor from where I purchased my dress and I don't think it could have been better. They listened to what I wanted and made suggestions based on their experience and it worked out perfectly. My wedding was postponed from March 2020 to August 2020 so when I reached out to Bea and Renee in August for a last minute alteration, they didn't hesitate and got me right in - I was so relieved! They made a stressful moment so much easier and I am so grateful to them and all of their hard work! You will not be disappointed with the Just Sew team!

    I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dress!

    I had a great experience with Renee and Bea at Just Sew. I felt lost about what my dress needed changed to make it fit best since I hadn't had anything altered before, especially something as important and intricate as a wedding dress. I searched reviews and found Just Sew. Bea answered my emails and guided me on what I would probably need done, basic price estimates, and booked my appointment. She also did my first fitting, explaining what she would change and why. She was very kind and made me feel right at home during my one-on-one appointment. My second and final fitting with Renee went just as wonderfully. She is very skilled and put me at ease. The dress looked as beautiful as ever and fit like a glove. The alterations were flawless!

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review Lacey! You looked stunning and we loved working with you!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Renee was absolutely wonderful. The alterations were wonderfully done. Renee also takes care of pressing the dress ahead of the wedding and then preserving the dress for you afterward. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    Renee made my beautiful dress even more beautiful

    Renee was fantastic! As I told her at my final fitting, you couldn't tell that any alterations were made to my dress, and she had done A LOT!

    When I came into the shop my dress was made to fit someone probably 5 inches taller than I am, with a much longer torso than I have. Renee took the straps up and even changed where the apex of the dress was so that it would fit better to my torso. Sounds easy enough (for someone who knows what they are doing), except my dress had intricate lace and was beaded all throughout the bodice-- it seemed like it would have been a puzzle for the best of the best! With that said, she made it look as though it came straight from the dress maker fitting perfectly to my body.

    Renee also hemmed my dress and put a french bustle on it, which flowed wonderfully with the dress and was easy to quickly tie together at the start of our reception. I was even able to explain it to one of my bridesmaids who hadn't been coached on how to do it beforehand!

    The one thing I would say is that I had a bit of sticker shock when I went in for my first alterations appointment, however with the amount of work she put into it and the amount of detail needed to make my dress look fantastic it was well worth it. If I ever need another formal dress altered, I will definitely be bringing it to Renee.

    Practiced, skillful, and kind

    I could not have hoped for a better experience with alterations. In three visits, my dress went from what I THOUGHT looked good to something really beautiful. I was comfortable hugging and dancing all night at my wedding last week! I wish I had my professional photos back to share instead of a casual snapshot.

    Renee took in and added a dart to my bodice, hemmed the bottom, fixed the button loops that kept snapping, and also gave me tips on how to store the dress before the wedding, put it on, bustle it, etc. She was so comfortable to talk to, and I appreciated that she explained the process as she went. Alterations are expensive, but I never felt like she was overcharging me--she told me exactly what she was doing. A lovely and tremendously talented person!

    The Best Alterations Shop in North Carolina

    Renee is an amazing seamstress & did such a wonderful job on my dress. I had a very large, complicated ballgown & she made easy work of hemming, taking it in, & adding other adjustments. I was shocked at just how great it turned out. I'm only 5'2" and my dress was made to fit someone much taller, but Renee managed to make it look like it was made just for me. I drove all the way from Wilmington, NC to have her do my alterations & I'm so glad I did. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my gown!

    Skilled Hands

    Renee was amazing, my dress had a lot of small details on the bottom lace trim and she made sure it was perfect, she made my dress fit like a glove! I was worried about the delicate straps and clasps in the back, but Renee reinforced the back of my dress loops and made sure I was comfortable in my dress for my entire wedding!

    Absolutely amazing

    Renee had to take my dress in a size and a half and she made it fit like a glove! Her attention to detail is fantastic. She had to hand stitch a lot on my dress and my dress looked flawless. I really liked that she had jewelry and veils to look at and try on (the veil). I ended up purchasing a veil through her and the price was so much more reasonable than the bridal shops!! You will not regret trusting Renee with your dress....she's absolutely amazing!

    I cannot say enough about how enjoyable my experience with Renee was. I was recommended to her by my wedding planner Chad Biggs and Janna, and I am SO glad I listened to them! She works out of her house, and has the cutest room set up to make the fitting experience feel so personal and special, vs getting measured and doing your alterations in some shop next to a ton of other brides. She and her assistants hand work on your gown from start to finish, and makes it like the dress was made custom for you! She has TONS of experience, and you can tell by the many postcards and thank you cards posted all over from her previous brides over the years. She perfected my already dream Haley Paige gown beyond what I ever even thought it could be, and made me fall in love with it all over again. I cannot wait to wear it in a couple of weeks! If you need your dress altered/tailored to perfection, look no further, call/email her right now, so you can be rest assured that your gown will be taken care of, and you can get back to worrying about all your other planning!

    Highly recommend!

    There is no one else I would trust my dress with other than Renee. I knew I wanted to invest in someone with many years of experience, and she did NOT disappoint! Her eye for perfection and precision made really my dress come to life. I got SO many compliments on how well my dress fit and hugged my body. Every inch of the dress was perfection! She knew exactly what to enhance, leave alone and transform, and I am forever grateful! I ended up having the dress hemmed and bustled (my bustle was tucked under the dress which was SO beautiful and looked so natural during the reception!), the boning on the sides elongated and the bust taken in. The entire process was a joy, and if you treasure your dress as much as I did, take it to someone who knows what they are doing. The quality of Renee's work is incomparable!

    Great experience!

    Renee made my wedding dress alteration experience stress-free! My dress, I thought, was going to be super simple to alter, as it was a sheath dress and did not have any lace or beading. However, because my dress was multi-layer, and LOOKED so simple, it was going to be difficult for the alterations to be hidden and look like they were meant to be part of the dress! Renee worked so hard in making sure that my dress fit beautifully, and it really did! Despite my dress being ordered about 4 sizes too large for me, Renee worked her magic! And she gave me so many tips and tricks to keep my dress in place on my wedding day. I'm so grateful for her persistence and helping make sure my dress fit like a glove! Highly recommend her for future brides!

    Amanda thank you so much! Your dress was a challenge, but we got it done and you looked beautiful. It was great to work with you and your dress. :D

    I'm floored at how flawless the work Just Sew did on my dress. I had my first fitting with Renee, but Bea was actually the one that did the work on the dress. Both people are insanely talented, professional and friendly. I recommend this place to anyone in NC. My dress was a strapless heavily beaded, super lacy Stella York and you truly can search all day long but you cannot tell it was altered in anyway when in reality it was quit heavily altered!

    Thank you Sew much Lindsay! We enjoyed working with You! Bea and I where thrilled with how your gown turned out.

    Renee was an absolute dream to work with! I can not say enough wonderful things about her! I got married on June 2, 2018 in my mother's wedding dress from 1986, which Renee complete re-imagined and altered. No one, including my mom, could believe it was even the same dress! The original dress has long sleeves, a turtle neck and mushroom pleating. In the end it had an illusion neckline, open back, and french embroidered lace in place of the pleating. When I had my first consultation with Renee I told her how I wanted it to look on my wedding day and she shared ideas with me, and I felt so comfortable and understood. She did nothing to the dress without my permission. I had 3 fittings and in each their were slight design alterations made until it was perfect. Renee is really sweet, funny and down-to-earth. She was honest and transparent with me throughout the process. I can not recommend her enough!

    My wedding dress was definitely a complicated one. It has a lot of detail and lace and beading and different materials. I knew I needed someone who knew what they were doing. Renee took on the challenge of altering my dress and it came out absolutely perfect. I had three fittings total for my wedding dress. After the first fitting, I started panicking about all of the work that needed to be done to my dress and Renee gladly walked me through how they would be altering everything. The dress really looked like nothing had ever been done to it. My train needed two layers of bustles plus multiple snaps and hooks, and they took two videos for me so that my bridesmaids knew exactly how to bustle my dress. Everything looked so perfect and my husband was floored when he saw me. It was worth every penny!

    I cannot say enough to express the quality of work Reneé did for my wedding dress! She took my dress from a size 12 down to a 4 and I couldn’t even tell it was made originally a larger size. She paid extra attention to details such as the bead work on my boddice and even designed a special bustle so that the organza layers of my skirt would lay perfectly when bustled so that the look of my gown was the same (just shorter and easier to walk in) when bustled for the reception! She ensured I was 100% satisfied with everything about my gown before I took it back with me! She fixed a few minor things that had broke on the gown since it was used as a sample dress. She also suggested taking a video on how to bustle the gown so my MOH (who could not be there at the final fitting) would not have any trouble bustling the dress! Reneé does exceptional work and although it was very expensive I could not be happier with how my dress turned out and looked for my wedding day!

    I was so happy with the decision to get my dress altered by Renee! She is such an easy-going person and yet so professional at the same time. She altered the dress beautifully and it fit like a glove. Her attention to detail is immaculate. She hand-stitched the several layers of lace. She prepared us for how to bustle the dress, how to take care of any day-of emergencies, and how to feel confident and beautiful on the wedding day. She even tailored by mom's and the matron of honor's dress as well. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and a large part of it was because of Renee.

    Renee (aka the Bustle Queen) was one of the last people I linked up with during my wedding planning process. You know what that means: I waited way too long to go to Just Sew for my bridal alterations! I made the mistake of going to a tailor that didn't focus on bridal gowns and ended up in a pinch about a month before my ceremony. I asked my matron of honor where she had her gown altered (should have done this from the beginning) and she said "You need to call Renee at Just Sew!!" Renee graciously agreed to work on my dress, despite the fact that I didn't give her much time. She and her assistant, B, were an absolute dream to work with. They are both professional, understanding, and all around awesome. Renee took my dress from just "beautiful" to "absolutely stunning, unique, made for me, jaw dropping gorgeous." The sheer contrast from when I dropped the dress off and my second fitting was stunning because the dress had completed transformed (before and after pictures below). I actually don't know how she pulled it off.. wait, yes I do: it's because she is the best of the best and cares as much about how you will look on your wedding day as you do! I'm not going to let any of my friends take their wedding dresses anywhere else lol! I had so many people compliment my dress and tell me that it looked made for me. Renee is a true master of her craft and I'm so grateful that I met her and got to know her during my wedding planning. Renee, thank you for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Renee and her work. She did a wonderful job on my daughter's wedding gown, as well as the MOH and MOB gowns. Renee is very personable and her professionalism and abilities are exceptional. She gave us all the confidence to look and feel our very best on the big day.
