So happy with my dress!

Sharon at Twin Cities Bridal Alterations was a lifesaver for my wedding dress alterations. Despite me putting things off until the last minute, she found time to fit me in without any issues. She works from her home, but is incredibly professional, easy to work with, and very reasonably priced. Another alterations shop had quoted me three times as much because my dress had so many layers, but Sharon made the entire process seem easy, with a quick turnaround time.

On top of that, she went above and beyond when I texted her the day I picked up my dress, asking if she could sew a comb onto my mom's veil. She did it in just five minutes, which I was SO grateful for! I had been stressed about the alterations process, but Sharon completely calmed my nerves with her skill and professionalism. Highly recommend her services!

Wedding dress and bridesmaid

Sharon did an incredible job on my wedding dress alterations. My body shape is a challenge and she made me so comfortable and did such a nice job. The bridesmaid dress turned out beautiful as well.

Mother of the bride dress

Sharon is awesome. She lifted the bodice, and made the armholes smaller on my 2 layer dress. Very well done.
