Dawn is the best!

Dawn made it so easy too coordinate with her to get my dress fitted for my best friend’s wedding! My dress turned out beautiful. Dawn is kind and helpful and I will be returning to her for all my future alteration needs!

Great experience, great work

Dawn is a fantastic seamstress with a kind heart. She altered my wedding gown 3 times for me. The last time she squeezed me in last minute, very close to my wedding day. She was very patient with me and that I had lost weight between each time I met with her, which gave her more to do. She was also patient with me when I made specific requests. I'm very grateful for her services and kindness. To top it off, she does the best bustles I've ever seen! Your train isn't just going to get hooked and hang there, she makes the bustle look like part of the dress' design. I can't recommend Dawn enough.
