    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 ❤️

    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!
