1000% would recommend

Wendy’s work is absolutely amazing, we basically redesigned my whole dress to something even more stunning than I could have ever dreamed. From custom sleeves to a custom overskirt everything was perfect

Perfection!

Wendy is absolute perfection. From start to finish, she was punctual, incredibly professional, and someone I trusted completely with my wedding dress.
She handled my 8-layer princess ballgown with a 6-foot train like an absolute boss. Not once did I feel nervous; I knew my dress was in the best hands the entire time. At one point, the cups in my dress started to turn yellow. Wendy didn’t hesitate, ripped them right out, looked at me and said, “Trust me!” And wow, my dress turned out beyond perfect. On the wedding day, I truly couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
She taught my sister how to correctly corset and bustle my dress, and she also taught me how to walk and sit properly in my dress.
If you are looking for someone who is skilled, confident, and genuinely cares about their craft, Wendy is it. I cannot recommend her enough.

Wedding Dress Alterations

Wendy was really great to work with! She did an amazing job on my wedding dress and the whole process was about 1.5 months for a very intricate lace gown. She made it fit to my body perfectly! Her pricing is very reasonable, especially knowing the hours and perfection she put into hand sewing the lace. Would highly recommend!

Great wedding dress alterations

I worked with Wendy in the beginning of January this year and my wedding dress turned out amazing. I was extremely happy with all the alterations I needed, which were a lot. She gave her professional opinion which was valued since she has lots of experience. She even worked with me to create a a bustle I envisioned, even though it was difficult with 23 bustle points. Added extra alterations appointments when needed to make sure my dress turned out perfectly. She was very responsive and was on time with every appointment. Made this experience easy. I highly recommend her services!!

Best alterations!

Wendy was amazing. My dress was a sample I got last minute and she made it look brand new. She took extra time to show me how to sit, bustle, and steam my dress. Her pricing was incredibly affordable and she made the entire dress enjoyable. Don't take your dress anywhere else!

Beautiful Wedding Dress Alterations

Wendy was so professional and kind. She paid such extreme attention to detail for my wedding dress and the turn out was so much better than I could have imagined! The dress ended up fitting like a glove and the bustle was so elaborately created that the train looked just as gorgeous down as it did up and attached! I felt so pretty and confident on my wedding day all thanks to Wendy! Come to her for all alterations needs in the Tampa Bay Area!!

Wendy was amazing!

Wendy was wonderful and did an amazing job on my dress! She taught my bridesmaids how to do the corset backing and how to tie a proper bow. I originally went to her thinking my dress was way too big but she showed us how to properly put and on and it fit liked a glove! I wanted to wear a bra with my dress and she added bra loops which allowed me to do that. She did an amazing job tightening the sleeves which were way too loose. My dress looked beautiful!
