So caring and kind!

Michelle was amazing! She was very responsive to texts, and always listened to my concerns with my wedding dress. I spent a lot of money on my dress and it was the only dress I liked so I was very worried when choosing someone for alterations. I made the right choice! Michelle finished my dress in a short amount of time, created a beautiful bustle, and made sure I loved my dress before I left every appointment. Will always recommend her!!

2 Dresses!

Had a great experience with Michelle!! She was so friendly and accommodating, even when i showed up with a second dress at my second fitting. She made me feel so comfortable and confident! Made the whole experience stress free and was able to alter 2 dresses and a blouse for me within a month. Would highly recommend!!
