When you come in for a fitting, you will be treated to a relaxing, delicious cup of tea.

This Bridal Shop is like no other.

This Bridal Shop is truly unique! So beautifully decorated that you know immediately Melissa is incredibly talented.
I haven't purchased anything from this shop yet, but Melissa has sewn for me in the past. Everything she ever created for me made me look my best!
If I ever need formal wear in the future I know exactly where to go.

Beyond Expectations

I was a terrible bride and bought a dress WAY too small because I'm an idiot and I thought it might be a lost cause but the ladies at The Perfect Stitch made it happen! My dress was beautiful!! They were so accommodating and reassuring. Seriously could not be happier with the results. Thank you so much!

The ladies at the Perfect Stitch were fantastic in remaking my grandma's dress. From the moment I walked in I felt right at home. It was so nice not to worry at all about my dress through all the wedding planning. They had it all under control and each visit was a fun surprise of what new things they had done to clean up and make this dress my own. So thankful for their kind and excellent service!!

She was SUPER easy to work with. I bought my dress online from a different venue and they were able to alter it perfectly! Start ASAP, as if you wait for the last minute it could be more expenssive. Very reasonable prices! Jon VERY well done! She suggested a new zipper, so it wouldn't break the day of the wedding. So thoughtful, never pushes, and work is done on time as promised!!

On a frigid Saturday in early 2014, my friend (bridesmaid) and I visited The Perfect Stitch on a whim after a friend of ours had Melissa make her a wedding dress last summer. That day, I found the most beautiful dress and bought it - but the catch was that it wasn't what I wanted for my wedding. Over the course of the next few months, the gals at The Perfect Stitch transformed my dress into an absolute dream. They built out the top so it would fit me but still look like it was made that way, took the hem up to a tea length, and helped me find the perfect vintage (both actual vintage and newly made) accessories. They also helped me make some decisions and come back to see it again when I wasn't sure if I'd made the right ones. Whether you're looking for a wedding dress or need alterations on what you already have, I highly recommend The Perfect Stitch! They also have a stock of consignment dresses that is always changing, so it wouldn't hurt to visit a few times and keep looking. The affordability of getting a dress on consignment cannot be beat, and I couldn't have been happier with the final product.

My experience with Melissa and Tonya was fabulous. I found a dress in the shop that I fell in love with and after trying it on, knew it was "the one". After changing our wedding plans several times and losing a large amount of weight requiring more alterations than originally thought, they gave me my dream dress. My dress fit perfectly after being taken in, my bustle looked beautiful and preserved the features of the dress, and it was done on time. I couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with!

I can't say enough great things about The Perfect Stitch! Melissa and Tonya were absolute joys to work with. I would recommend them to anyone searching for alterations. Melissa and Tonya met with me on 6 separate occassions before my wedding day. I couldn't have been happier with the way the gown turned out. They were extremely experienced, knowledgeable, professional and kind. There were no hidden fees and they were willing to go above and beyond to make sure I was going to look and feel my best on the big day. You won't be disappointed at The Perfect Stitch!

Choosing someone to alter your wedding dress can be so nerve racking. The fear that someone could ruin the most important piece of clothing you will ever wear weighed heavily on my mind. As soon as I met Melissa, all my fear subsided. She made me feel so relaxed and confident in her ability to make my dress fit me perfectly. And she delivered. In addition to doing a fabulous job on my dress, she sent personalized cards that made me feel very special. Not many businesses have a personal touch like that and it meant a lot. I highly recommend The Perfect Stitch!
