Brittany is a customization QUEEN!

I had a dress where I was obsessed with the bottom and not the top. Brittany custom made a top and my dress became my DREAM dress! She did multiple other items for different events and I now consider her a friend as well. She is super personable and great to work with. For custom work I'd plan for 4-6 appointments and have patience and vision, because she will make it come to life! Supporting local was also very important to me and she is located in our community!

Perfect Dress and Fit like a Glove

Brittany was truly a help in the dress searching process. She made great suggestions and hand picked my wife pick the perfect dress. They have an incredible selection of dresses for unbeatable prices.

She then provided alterations for my wife's dress, a bridesmaid gown gone wrong, my wife's dress for another wedding, and my wife's grandmothers dress. Each time was affordable and quick! We will return to Brittany for any dresses we ever need altered again!

High Quality Alterations at a Reasonable Price

Something Old, Something New Bridal is the absolute BEST!! Brittany did such an AMAZING job altering my wedding dress, as well as my rehearsal dinner dress. For the wedding dress, she took in the sides, added cups, added a bustle, and hemmed it! She was so fast with her alterations, and it fit me like a dream!! Additionally, Brittany made really glam facemasks for the wedding party! I sent her pictures of the bridesmaids dresses, and mother of the bride/groom dresses, and she found fun fabrics that matched! The bridesmaids had gorgeous gold-jewel tone sequin masks and the MOB had a lovely royal blue glitter mask! Brittany was so sweet, she even threw in a few extra sequin masks! I would highly recommend Brittany as a seamstress to anyone. For the past 4 years, I have used her for all my bridesmaid dress alterations, as well! She does high-quality work quickly, at a very reasonable price! Brittany is definitely worth the drive from Arlington!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
