Highly recommended!!

Heather was such an amazing find for me! I had a beautiful dress that didn't need a lot of alterations, but I needed a professional to help me revamp it so it was easier to walk in. Heather had great ideas and made the dress even more beautiful. She was incredibly communicative and efficient. I really appreciated knowing exactly what to expect at each fitting and knowing the timeframe. She did an amazing job and I highly recommend her for your wedding alteration needs!

Beautiful Dress Alterations

I could not have chosen anyone better to alter my wedding dress. It is so clear that Heather takes the utmost pride in the work she does and is genuinely so excited for the brides she works with. She was very open with her communication and helped guide me as I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do with the length as I got married on a beach. She made this process stress free and would absolutely recommend her for any bride in the future.

Amazing experience working with Custom Sewing by Heather!

Heather was able to completely rework my dress and did an incredible job! I lost quite a bit of weight after purchasing my dress, so Heather had to take it in pretty significantly to make it fit. She was able to work me into her busy schedule and got all the alterations done within a few weeks. Heather took such good care of my dress and I was amazed by the final product!

Heather is not only professional, welcoming and friendly, but does amazing work! Many of my clients have gone to her for alterations and all have been very pleased. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be fussing with a dress that doesn't fit you properly. Great alterations can make your wedding gown go from great to outstanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
