Pick Courtney as your seamstress - you won’t regret it!

Courtney is the kindest and most knowledgable person to alter your wedding dressI bought my dress in NYC but wanted alterations in the Philadelphia area to reduce the travel time; I searched for places that would not only be affordable but trustworthy, even though I really only needed basic alterations (hem, take in waist, and bustle). Lo and hold, The Dress Matters has a flat-rate alterations package for those 3 things and also has an angel of a seamstress, Courtney! (Just note that there is a small fee for dresses bought elsewhere, added to the flat-rate of the alterations package) I had 3 appointments with her before taking my dress home, and I was blown away at every appointment when she explained all details of what she did or planned to do. She was meticulous and wanted to make sure that there was nothing out of place when I stood, sat down, and walked around in my dress. I couldn’t have asked for a better seamstress to alter my dress and make it a seamless experience. Pick Courtney - you won’t regret it!

Wonderful experience

Affordable. I took advantage of a “March Madness” sale they had...$200 off a $1000 dress or more. The consultant was wonderful and the place, though small, had a lot of character. I am glad I went with a local small business for my dress instead of a franchise. My dress is beautiful and its perfect for me. I can’t wait until alterations and my wedding day. A shout out to The Dress Matters for accommodating me with a walking boot (I fractured my ankle a few weeks ago).
