Kristin is amazing! Bustle & Cape

I came in to Kristin needing minimal alterations to my wedding dress. Talking with Kristin, she explained to me the different bustle options and I decided to do a French bustle. Kristin was very thorough in explaining the options and also provided a video tutorial with my dress on how to use the bustle. During this process, I was trying to find a particular cape to go with my dress due to it being a winter wedding. I let Kristin know the issue I was having and asked if she could make the cape-- and she said yes! The cape turned out beautifully. She showed me a couple of material options to choose from and clasp closure options. She made sure I got exactly what I was envisioning. Thank you Kristin!

Practically perfect in every way!

Kristin turned my wedding dress dreams into something out of a fairytale and I have never felt more beautiful! My favorite thing about working with her was how genuinely kind and personable she is. I felt like she really took the time to understand me and what I was looking for, and she was graciously flexible when it came to design tweaks and scheduling fittings. I also really appreciated how incredibly thorough she was throughout the entire process, from my first consultation to letting me know what I could expect at fittings etc. She has great attention for detail and it made everything flow so smoothly! If you’re considering working with Kristin for your wedding dress alterations, this is your sign to just do it!!

Great service and quality

Kristin runs her business in a professional and friendly manner. She is quick to respond to emails and is priced competitively. When I went to fittings, she was very receptive to my concerns and questions and took her time to do her work correctly. My wedding dress came out beautifully altered and I even used her for my dress's preservation. I have already, and will continue to, recommend her for bridal alterations when others are looking around. You won't regret working with her!

I never thought I could love my gown so much

I cannot give enough praise for Kristin. Everything about my experience working with her was perfect. She is responsive, efficient, kind, creative, fun, and so incredibly talented. Kristin is the BUSTLE QUEEN!!! I had planned to drag my dress all night because I didn't like the look of bustled gowns, but Kristin made it look so seamless. I loved my gown bustled just as much as with the train down (I don't have pictures of the bustled gown but trust me it looked amazing!). Kristin made the gown of my dreams. I wish every bride could work with her!

Absolutely phenomenal

Kristin Johnston is an absolute master of her craft. I cannot recommend her enough, and am so grateful for the quality of work she put into my dress. She took the time to explain what she was doing, and used a level of detail that you would hope everyone uses for your wedding dress (but not everyone does)! Take your dress to her- you won’t regret it!

Kristin is amazing

I highly recommend working with Kristin as she has an eye for detail and is great to work with. Kristin made my custom piece come to life and she delivered in all the right areas. My bustle was beautiful and you would ought to think it was a whole separate dress. Kristin has great customer service, she’s communicative, and really knows her business. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
