Wonderful!

Petra did an absolutely amazing job with the alterations on my bridal gown and my mother’s gown for my wedding. My gown needed many alterations and had a lot of beading and appliqués. Petra is very detail orientated and an experienced seamstress. She made sure my gown was absolutely perfect and was so wonderful to work with!

Very reliable seamstress! I had total confidence and faith in Petra and she delivered. Petra altered my bridal gown in the bust side area, very well done and so quickly. Less than 2 weeks is all it took! I bought my dress at simplicity boutique because Petra was so reliable.

Petra did a phenomenal job on my wedding dress alterations. I required more changes than originally anticipated and Petra took her time and did a meticulous job ensuring the dress looked just perfect. I highly recommend Petra and Simplicity Boutique for formal gowns and wedding attire.
