Something Wonderful, Indeed!

I could not be happier with the experience I had with Sarah & the Something Wonderful team. My wedding dress was pretty large and had multiple layers, but they were so quick and efficient with the alterations. I'm so impressed with their work. Alterations only took two months and the entire fitting process was super easy and convenient. My dress turned out perfect!!! Cannot recommend them enough!

Truly something wonderful

Sarah was great! I felt totally comfortable during all of my fittings and she was really fun to work with. My dress turned out amazing! She also fixed a botched alteration job done by another seamstress for one of my bridesmaids on somewhat short notice. I highly recommend Something Wonderful!

Absolutely Amazing

I just got my dress back today and it is everything I dreamed! The bridal salon ordered my dress 2 sizes too bug and I was scared the dress would not be what I wanted. Something Wonderful took my dress and made it exactly what I wanted! They made sure to make every aspect of the dress fit exactly how I wanted it to.

Professional, Experienced Alterations

I am incredibly thankful that I had Something Wonderful alter my wedding dress. I purchased my dress from sample store, Luxe Redux where it needed hemming, repairs to the belt, and some stain corrections. Sarah was extremely helpful and efficient with providing advice to make sure my dress came out gorgeous. She was very transparent and always ran her appointments to the exact timing. I would recommend her any day to anyone wanting to entrust their wedding dress to a team that will make it fit you beautifully!

True to their name, they're truly Something Wonderful!

Planning a wedding during COVID can be tough and stressful. For my fellow brides, do yourself a favor and go to Something Wonderful for your alterations. The experience was - as the name suggests - wonderful!

I had a few ideas for how I wanted to alter my dress. When first searching for a seamstress, I was nervous if that vision would come to life. Working with Sarah made my vision a reality - I couldn't be happier!

Sarah is so friendly and made me feel both comfortable and beautiful in my dress. She has excellent recommendations if you ever have questions for your alterations: with Something Wonderful, you're truly in good hands.

I can't thank Sarah and Something Wonderful enough!

Best wedding dress alterations ever!

I was so nervous about finding a place to do wedding dress alterations. I had found my perfect dream dress but I kept having nightmares that I would take it someplace and they would completely ruin it. I decided to take a chance on Sarah and Something Wonderful Indy and I am so happy I did. Sarah took the time to make sure my dress fit perfectly. She didn't rush herself, and even had me extend my alterations about a week or so to make sure they were perfect. We had plenty of time though, so it was no problem. The dress fit me like it was made for me! She gave me bustle options too and I ended up going with a French bustle which I loved and got a lot of compliments that it looked like I didn't have a train during the reception even though I had a very long train. Thank you, Sarah! I highly recommend.

Such an awesome experience!

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and Something Wonderful! Sarah is so sweet and was upfront about everything: cost, what would be done, etc. Being a covid bride, there were many things that felt out of my control or constantly changing and causing me worry and stress, but the one thing I never worried about was my dress because I knew it was in such good hands. Sarah was so helpful and doesn't rest until your dress is perfect for you. I would highly recommend Sarah and Something Wonderful!

Your wedding dress girl!

I would definitely recommend Sarah for all your wedding alterations. She was so sweet, easy to communicate with for schedule alteration sessions, and exceeded my expectations! And she made me feel beautiful! I had a built in belt on my dress and wanted to replace it with another belt I bought. She had the wonderful idea of taking those appliqués and putting them on my veil. It was so pretty!

Wedding Dress Alteration

Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She’s friendly, easy to work with and great at what she does. My dress needed taken in quite a bit and it came out absolutely beautiful. I took it home and decided I wanted it taken in a bit more around the hips. I called Sarah and she had me in within a few days and had it the way I wanted it within a week or two with no extra charge. She also added a bustle for my long train that was exactly what I wanted. She’s the best!
