Fantastic sewing skills, very personable

Cheryl is an exceptional seamstress. She did a fantastic job catering my dress to my specific body and she is also very nice, friendly and personable, which makes a difference in the whole alterations experience. I also deeply appreciated her flexibility, as she allowed me to come into her studio on a day she normally was not open so that I could pick up my dress and drive down to New Jersey, where my wedding was. Would highly recommend her!

Cheryl is amazing!

Cheryl made alterations to my wedding dress back in October 2022 and she was absolutely incredible to work with. She was friendly, warm, and detail oriented and I could tell she takes so much pride in her beautiful work. Thank you Cheryl!

You will not regret working with Cheryl!

In my chaotic saga of wedding dress alterations, Cheryl emerged as my superhero! After a frustrating stint with an alternative seamstress who just didn't get it, I found myself in a panic two weeks before the big day. Enter Cheryl – my savior and miracle worker. She squeezed me into her schedule that week and, within a few days, not only met but exceeded my expectations for the dress. Cheryl didn't just make it fit; she made it fit like a dream. Her kindness and calm demeanor turned a stressful situation into a breeze, as she took the time to truly understand my vision. Working with Cheryl was an absolute delight, and I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond to rescue me. If I had a do-over, I'd choose Cheryl from the get-go. She's not just good; she's the best at what she does. When it comes to your wedding day and the dress of your dreams, Cheryl is the hands-down the ultimate person to entrust it to. I felt like a queen on my big day, and Cheryl's magical touch made it everything I had hoped for. Thank you, Cheryl! If you get the chance to work with her, prepare for a stress-free, fabulous experience – you won't be disappointed!

04/22/23 - elaborate tailoring and beautiful results

I came to Cheryl with a lot of asks. I had a lace overlay dress with applique and wanted to have a train loop AND a bustle that I could do an elaborate dance with. She managed to make it all happen and even let me dance around her shop to ensure I could dance well enough. She made my dress so perfect and was so lovely to work with!

Amazing experience working with Cheryl!

I truly could not be happier that I was lucky enough to work with Cheryl in the lead-up to my wedding! I bought my wedding dress and immediately felt panicked because I had a) never bought a wedding dress before, b) had never brought anything to a seamstress before, and c) had no idea what I was doing. Cheryl not only calmed my nerves but made me giggle from day one of communicating with her! It was so easy to feel comfortable with her and trust her expertise, especially because her vision for the dress aligned with my vision right away. Even when I was unsure of what to do, she was able to give helpful professional advice while also fully respecting my choices for my dress. It was so nice to work with someone so talented who immediately felt like a friend, and her work truly is incredible. Thank you again Cheryl for such a wonderful experience ❤️

amazing seamstress

A big THANK YOU to Cheryl for turning my wedding dress nightmare into something BEAUTIFUL! There was a miscommunication when I had my dress custom sized with the boutique and when I got my wedding dress they made the dress too short for me (aka a bride's worst nightmare). I was losing sleep and stressed out about this because I wasn't sure if this was "fixable" and I couldn't order a new dress in time.... I found Cheryl through FB and I am sooo glad I did! She was able to add more length to my dress by adding more lace to the bottom and flowed it SEAMLESSLY into the dress! I couldn't even tell that it was short to begin with. Aside from basically saving my wedding day, she was also a great person to work with! She is very friendly and is fun to talk to!! She will make the whole process easy for the bride! I recommend Cheryl 100%!!

The best of the best!

Cheryl is the most incredible human and saved my wedding day. She is the sweetest, most kind soul. She has a calming presence that made my meetings with her feel like wedding planning therapy. She always made me feel comfortable and beautiful. My wedding dress was purchased months before my wedding but the bridal salon made an error and ordered wrong size. I was distraught and had no idea what to do as I didn’t have time to purchase a new size dress. Cheryl helped me purchase additional fabric from the designer and she took apart reconstructed the ENTIRE dress. She changed out the entire front panel, re-worked the back of the dress to change the style of it and added a belt. I was and still am so obsessed with my dress. It fit like a glove and I’ve never felt more beautiful. None of this would have happened without Cheryl. I owe her more than I can express. She is the most talented seamstress I have ever encountered. Thank you SO much Cheryl. You saved my wedding ❤️

Incredible!

I have been going to a Cheryl for all of my alternation needs for over a decade, from my prom dresses, pageant gowns and my wedding dress. She is insanely talented, professional and exceeds all expectations every single time. She’s the best in the Seacoast and the only one I trust for all my alteration needs.

Highly recommend!

Working with Cheryl for my May wedding was fantastic and I highly recommend her!

I reached out to Cheryl after receiving her name from a family friend recommendation for a ballpark quote with a picture of my dress, and was pleased with her fair quote after receiving a few others that were several hundred dollars more. She was prideful in her fair prices and her many years of experience.

After putting down a deposit, I had my 3 fitting appointments (initial fitting, second fitting and final fitting). At each appointment, Cheryl was helpful and prompt in listening to my needs and concerns, and had some stellar suggestions including a beautiful bustle that was not shown to me as an option when purchasing my dress.

Overall, I was very happy with the quality of alterations and fair pricing Cheryl provided, and felt beautiful in my dress. I highly recommend her!
