The Perfect Gown!

I found Just Sew while researching local alterations and Renee had raving reviews, so I decided to give it a try. The whole team was so sweet and helpful and flexible to make appointments as needed. My dress fit absolutely perfectly and I could not be more thankful. The skirt on my gown had 8 layers and Renee expertly altered each one to fit me perfectly. I absolutely recommend to anyone in the area who needs an expert alteration. Absolutely perfect job!

Truly the best wedding gown alterations!

I am so glad that I chose Renee and her team to alter my wedding dress. Renee, Laura, and Bea are amazing, kind, and incredibly talented. They understood exactly what I wanted for my dress and I have never felt more beautiful. I was so happy with it! In addition to 2-3 fitting appointments, Renee was very kind to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment the Monday before my wedding when I realized there was one more change that needed to be made for the dress. They are the best-- I am so grateful for their attention to detail, responsiveness, and hard work! I would choose Just Sew by Renee again in a heartbeat.

High recommend

Renee was so patient with all of my requests (even when I changed my mind twice). She gave me exactly what I wanted in my dress and I could not have been happier with the finished product. The bustle she made was incredible, looked amazing, and kept the dress from getting trampled all night. Finally, she made my strapless dress the perfect size and gave me recommendations for tape so I didn't have to shimmy and pull at the dress all night. I highly recommend.

Look No Further!

Had my wedding dress altered here. I was a little worried because I knew it would need a lot of work, but my concerns immediately disappeared upon my first fitting. When I picked it up a few weeks later it fit perfectly! Look no further. You wont be disappointed!

Great Team!

Renee and Bea are a dream team! They were a preferred vendor from where I purchased my dress and I don't think it could have been better. They listened to what I wanted and made suggestions based on their experience and it worked out perfectly. My wedding was postponed from March 2020 to August 2020 so when I reached out to Bea and Renee in August for a last minute alteration, they didn't hesitate and got me right in - I was so relieved! They made a stressful moment so much easier and I am so grateful to them and all of their hard work! You will not be disappointed with the Just Sew team!

I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dress!

I had a great experience with Renee and Bea at Just Sew. I felt lost about what my dress needed changed to make it fit best since I hadn't had anything altered before, especially something as important and intricate as a wedding dress. I searched reviews and found Just Sew. Bea answered my emails and guided me on what I would probably need done, basic price estimates, and booked my appointment. She also did my first fitting, explaining what she would change and why. She was very kind and made me feel right at home during my one-on-one appointment. My second and final fitting with Renee went just as wonderfully. She is very skilled and put me at ease. The dress looked as beautiful as ever and fit like a glove. The alterations were flawless!

You won’t stress with Just Sew Alterations

Just Sew came as a recommendation from the bridal salon where I bought my dress, Costal Knot. And now, I would recommend them to anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area and beyond!

Rene and B were so easy to work with. They were easy to contact via email, which is how I set up my appointment. A few question later and my first of 3 appointments were set! My dress was a size too big, and was meant to fit me like a glove. After 3 appointments I didn’t want to take it off, it was perfect.

I trusted Rene and B from the moment I met them, and I even brought another item (a long bridal skirt by BHLDN) to be altered because of the confidence I felt from the first appointment. I would highly recommend, and trust Rene and B with your wedding dress needs.

Absolutely wonderful!

Renee was absolutely wonderful. The alterations were wonderfully done. Renee also takes care of pressing the dress ahead of the wedding and then preserving the dress for you afterward. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Renee made my beautiful dress even more beautiful

Renee was fantastic! As I told her at my final fitting, you couldn't tell that any alterations were made to my dress, and she had done A LOT!

When I came into the shop my dress was made to fit someone probably 5 inches taller than I am, with a much longer torso than I have. Renee took the straps up and even changed where the apex of the dress was so that it would fit better to my torso. Sounds easy enough (for someone who knows what they are doing), except my dress had intricate lace and was beaded all throughout the bodice-- it seemed like it would have been a puzzle for the best of the best! With that said, she made it look as though it came straight from the dress maker fitting perfectly to my body.

Renee also hemmed my dress and put a french bustle on it, which flowed wonderfully with the dress and was easy to quickly tie together at the start of our reception. I was even able to explain it to one of my bridesmaids who hadn't been coached on how to do it beforehand!

The one thing I would say is that I had a bit of sticker shock when I went in for my first alterations appointment, however with the amount of work she put into it and the amount of detail needed to make my dress look fantastic it was well worth it. If I ever need another formal dress altered, I will definitely be bringing it to Renee.

The Best Alterations Shop in North Carolina

Renee is an amazing seamstress & did such a wonderful job on my dress. I had a very large, complicated ballgown & she made easy work of hemming, taking it in, & adding other adjustments. I was shocked at just how great it turned out. I'm only 5'2" and my dress was made to fit someone much taller, but Renee managed to make it look like it was made just for me. I drove all the way from Wilmington, NC to have her do my alterations & I'm so glad I did. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my gown!
