August 2021 Wedding

Catherine did an amazing job with my wedding dress. She was very accommodating of my travel schedule, as I was an out-of-state bride who had to postpone a year with COVID-19. She was transparent regarding my costs and completed the alterations in a timely manner. My dress fit like a glove and looked amazing, thanks to Catherine. She also altered my mother’s dress on fairly short notice. I would highly recommend Tailored to You!

Can't Wait to See my Gown!

Though I have not yet gotten my wedding gown back, I am very happy with my experience so far! My initial appointment went wonderfully, I love Miss Catherine's personality. You can tell from the way that she handles the dresses that she knows what she is doing. She listened to what I wanted and envisioned for my dress, and I have absolute faith she will make it a reality. She also showed me multiple different bustle types for my dress, and I cannot thank her enough for that! The bustle we chose is gorgeous, seems like it was designed just for my dress style, and I have never seen it before! I wouldn't have found it without her. Going in for another fitting soon, and I am most excited to see how it is all going!

Cathy at Tailored To You is the absolute BEST! She transformed my dress into the gown of my dreams! I got complimented all day on how my dress "fit like a glove". I also got my wedding jewelry there and hair pieces for all my bridesmaids as their gift! Cathy is kind, attentive and SO talented. I will be going back for any other alterations I need done!!

I had a skirt I wanted made into a high low to show off my wedding boots and she made it happen exactly as I envisioned it. I had so many compliments at my wedding and the cost was extremely reasonable.

The drop necklace and matching earrings were absolutely gorgeous. They worked really well with my wedding dress (a lace up corset back with some beading all around). The simplicity and sparkle were great!

Cathy made custom backdrop necklace and earring sets. They are absolutely stunning - I cannot wait to give them to my bridesmaids! She was great about customizing each size to the girls' heights and had quick correspondence. I was amazed at how quickly the sets arrived once I had ordered them. I would recommend getting any jewelry from her, the Swarovski crystals are at a superb value and you will be thrilled with her amazing work!

Catherine altered my grandmother's dress (originally purchased in 1940) to modernize it just for me. She took off the sleeves and added lace taken from my mother-in-law's dress and lace taken from another vintage gown. She did some gorgeous work! She added a lining and bustle and made sure that should a future generation wish, the dress could be restored to its original state. She's very personable and courteous--a tailor you want to have as a friend!
