My daughter's gown came in way too big due to the incorrect measurements taken by the bridal shop. At first, Martha was doubtful that the gown was fixable due to the structure of the bodice. After some discussion she agreed to try and the results were perfect! The integrity of the beautiful gown was left in tact and my daughter looked AMAZING!!. Martha also altered her reception gown, rehearsal dress, bridal shower dress and a cocktail dress. Everything was done to perfection and the costs of all these alterations were very reasonable. After reading some of the other reviews, I can see where someone might interpret Martha's manner as terse but I think her demeanor is really just a result of a very busy schedule and I am sure tedious at times work. Once you crack the exterior she is a lovely person that I felt truly cared about delivering the best experience possible for my daughter.

Martha Shump is absolutely the best! She came highly recommended, and I'm so glad I worked with her! I got married last October and brought my dress to Martha a few months in advance. The dress was too tight...I mean, we couldn't even get it buttoned all the way when it first came in. I was in a complete panic because to me, the dress was way too small. We didn't have time to order another size, so I took it to Martha hoping that she could work some magic. And she did! She ended up hemming my dress, adding a bustle, removing boning, completely reworking lace sections, lifting the dress at the shoulders (probably incorrect terminology LOL), and letting it out completely then tailoring it to fit me from there...In my opinion, she did a great deal of work to make my dress perfect, at a very affordable price, and with beautiful skill! I would definitely recommend Martha to anyone I know!

Martha altered my wedding gown to perfection. My wedding dress was ordered too big and needed a lot of work to fit properly. Martha took great care, time, and attention to detail to make the necessary alterations while preserving the many layers of fabric, lace and other details on my gown. Martha is so talented and I couldn’t have been happier with how the dress turned out. She also did the alterations for my mom and sister and they were very happy with her work as well. We were all able to schedule our fittings together which was very convenient.

I am truly so happy I was recommended to Martha through my bridal store. She was so attentive to detail, responsive, and very flexible. We moved to Atlanta prior to my second fitting and Martha was so accommodating with appointments as I was driving in. The dress fits like an absolute glove! You’re in good hands with Martha!

Martha comes with years of experience designing as well as altering bridal wear and was recommended to me by the owner of my gown shop. Martha is an efficient communicator and respects her customer's time, but what's more is she completed my first fitting in less than 20 minutes--despite the dress unexpectedly being a few sizes too big. She offered insights on what would be flattering, unflattering, and provided me a simple timeline to follow thereafter. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism and thoroughness as well as cost effectiveness.

Martha was a miracle worker! When the bridal store ordered my dress several sizes too big and I wanted to add sleeves to my dress she jumped right in. She is beyond sweet and I could not believe how she made my dreams become a reality. Martha made my dress exactly how I had envisioned! With that being said I had expected to pay a good chunk of change for my alterations and she was very reasonable especially for all of the work she had to do on my dress!!

Martha is an incredibly talented woman! I bought my dress literally off the rack and several sizes too big. She worked with me to recut the dress to make it fit in the way I imagined it when I purchased it. She was professional and super patient in helping to make it perfect. She also added a belt to the dress and turned my mom's headpiece veil into a comb for me to wear. Everything she touches is gold!

Incredible work! Martha made me a custom veil, from scratch. I am so impressed by how from just a few inspiration photos sent to her, she knew exactly what I wanted. My veil is gorgeous & I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day! Beautiful handiwork and she is sweet and easy to work with--fast service.

Martha was so great to work with! She's incredibly talented and very detail oriented. She made sure my dress fit like a glove and was perfectly steamed for my big day!

Martha is a pure artist! The feats she is able to accomplish on dresses are absolutely amazing. I had her redesign my mother's 1960's wedding dress into an adorable short gown for my own wedding. It looks brand new!
