    So happy we found Joann!

    I can’t speak highly enough about Joann. She was recommended to me after purchasing my wedding dress at Vowd. Her professionalism, kindness, and talent exceeded my expectations as a client of hers! We added some details to my dress she had admitted to me she hadn’t done before. However, she knocked these additions out of the park, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her and her services. Get on her books as soon as possible as she is a busy lady, for good reason!

    The best seamstress!

    Joann was very patient and has decades of experience to alter your dress. I highly suggest her for alterations. She gives great guidance (i wanted to cut off my train, she did a french bustle, which I am so glad I listened to her).

    She is skillful and careful with her craft and she will not let you walk away until both you and her feel the dress is perfect.

    Mother's Wedding Dress Redesign

    I will forever be extremely grateful for Ms. Joann because she made my wedding dress one of the most perfect and special parts of my entire wedding! Joann was able to take my mother's retro wedding dress from 1990, complete with enormous sleeves, tassels, and bows, and made it into a beautiful, modern silhouette! She is so talented and knowledgeable about wedding gowns and I truly don't think I could've taken my dress to anyone else and made it look as good as it did! She took the dress apart completely and was able to design a whole new dress from the fabric! We kept the original skirt and train, but dropped the waistline using the extra fabric from the original huge sleeves, for a more A-line silhouette. She completely redesigned the back of the dress using only the original lace and mesh. She was able to troubleshoot issues with the skirt laying correctly and made an easy-to-figure-out bustle that was perfect for the design! I looked forward to every alterations appointment I had with sweet Joann and I'm so grateful for her amazing work on my gown.
