    Wendy is pure magic ✨

    I just picked my dress up from final alterations and could not be happier! I have a luxury dress with a lot of lace, sequins, and fabric and I was scared to let anyone touch it. Thankfully, a friend recommended Wendy to me and I’m so glad that she did. The bottom of my dress had to be cut and restitched on due to the floral appliqué at the hem. I had no idea how this could possibly go well, but Wendy made it look as through the dress had never been touched and yet somehow looked even more perfect for me. I 100% recommend Wendy for any and all types of dresses - if she can alter mine then she can alter anything!

    Wonderful Wedding Dress Alterations

    Wendy was excellent to work with! She is so knowledgable, professional, and detail- oriented. She is flexible with busy schedules and her pricing is very fair. You can tell she takes pride in her work. Highly recommend!

    Dependable and excellence!

    We used Wendy for my oldest daughter’s wedding dress, and she did excellent then, so we felt confident to use her for my second daughter’s wedding dress. Wendy worked well with us to get the fittings in, though we had a short window of time. She was generous and kind through each step. There was a need right at the end and Wendy went beyond the call of duty to resolve it. As the mother of the bride, I’m so grateful to her. She gave us peace and calm and an absolutely Beautiful wedding dress! 🙌🏻

    Wendy is amazing!

    Wendy did an amazing job with my dress alterations! I ordered my dress second hand, Wendy was able to add matching straps, redo the French bustle, and take it in 2 dress sizes!

    Great experience!

    Wendy was fantastic to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and precise. My train was bit tricky, it was full of layers and different material and Wendy put it together so beautifully. Highly recommend!

    Wedding Dress Alteration

    Wendy was phenomenal from start to finish with altering my wedding dress! My dress was 2 sizes too big and she made it to where it fit perfectly. Made sure I was completely happy with my dress. Took the time to show my maid of honor how to bustle my dress as well. Cannot thank her enough for the work and time she put into it. I had so many compliments on my dress all thanks to Wendy!!!

    Incredible

    Wendy is incredible all around! She did a phenomenal job with my bridal shower dress and my wedding dress (which had multiple layers and a lace outer layer). She is very nice and makes you feel at ease as she explains each step of the process. Wendy goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your dress. Very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend

    Highly Recommend This VERY Talented Lady !!

    Wendy is so very talented at what she does. She is passionate, kind, and brilliant at her craft!! I order my beautiful wedding dress per my exact measurements and waited for months for it to arrive. I was so excited for my first fitting, but when I put the dress on, my excitement turned to disappointment. The dress was still very beautiful but was not at all flattering on me. It was supposed to be very form fitting, however it was too loose, too long and too shapeless. I thought Wendy would be able to tighten the dress here and there, but I never dreamed that she would be able to make it fit so perfectly in every way! The next two fittings occurred in the middle of the COVID pandemic, but Wendy was generous enough to open her home to her clients. Each time I tried the dress on at one of the fittings, I became more confident that it would end up being as beautiful on me as I dreamed it would be. Wendy worked her magic, and the dress went from looking sloppy and understated, to being slim fitting and looking stunning and dramatic. I was so elated and relieved at the last fitting, I cried happy tears!!

    One Of The Best Seamstress I Have Ever Worked With.

    Ms. Wendy is an amazing seamstress to work with. She did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I can say my dress fitted me gorgeously too. I added a picture with my brother too. I most certainly was able to pull off wearing my favorite color for my special day.

    Perfect alterations

    Wendy is a really skilled alterations specialist.

    I found Wendy here on WeddingWire. After messaging her she was very responsive and was able to immediately fit me into her schedule. We set up a meeting and I went to her house/office with my dress.

    Wendy was very knowledgeable and informative about what alterations I might want or needed. She never tried to upsell me on expensive alterations - only told me what I would need in order to have the perfect fit for my wedding dress.

    Since I planned on having a barefoot beach wedding, and the dress I had purchased had nearly fit me like a glove, we decided that I would need only hemming on the bottom layers (so they wouldn’t drag) as well as a bustle for the train. She also added an interior belt (to help keep my dress up because it was strapless) as well as some cups just to keep me more comfortably in place.

    She set up two fittings after I left the dress with her, all over the the span of only two months. Each time checking with me, communicating the details, and answering all of my questions.

    In less than 3 months she took my dress from being too long and loose to fitting me PERFECTLY on my big day. And my girls 🍈🍈 looked INCREDIBLE 🤣

    She also took the time to reach me and record a video of my dress bustle so I would know how to (or can teach someone at my wedding) to bustle it (since there were around 12 buttons!)

    Not only that, but she was half the price of the big box stores (who tried to sell me crazy alterations even I knew I didn’t need).

    Wendy is so personable and kind and patient. I highly recommend her device to any bride - or anyone needing alterations. I will forever be grateful to her for helping me look and feel so beautiful in my dress on my big day!

    Gave me hope again!

    Thanks to Wendy my dream dress fits me perfectly now! I was so disappointed when my dress arrived and did not fit me. I went to a first seamstress that told me it could not be let out. I even started looking for another dress and realized I really loved the dress I said yes to first! I decided to see if I could get a second opinion, maybe someone else could help me. I found Wendy and she worked her magic !! She gave me hope that my dream dress would fit and she MADE IT HAPPEN! She is pleasant, kind, and professional, on top of being very fairly priced. Highly recommend!!!

    Superhero! Top Notch, Professional, and Flexible

    Amazing experience. I was notified 2 weeks before my wedding that me dress was stuck in customs. I gave it a couple days before beginning to look for another dress. I was able to find a dress and Wendy was SUPER flexible and got all 3 fittings done in 7 days. Don't hesitate to make Wendy a part of tour team!

    Total Wedding Dress Transformation!

    I was on a short time from for picking a wedding dress and ended up with a dress I didn't necessarily love. Wendy helped transform my dress into a dream dress when I didn't think it could be done. Thank you, Wendy!

    Fantastic Seamstress and Lady

    Wendy altered my wedding dress and a bridal shower dress and I could not be more happy with the results. She was flexible with scheduling and outlined her plan to finish the alterations with me. She was kind, friendly and professional. She did an absolutely beautiful job on both of my dresses you cannot tell she altered them even within very fine details. She is very particular in the best way and makes sure everything is how you want it. I am so happy with my dress and getting to wear it on my big day was a dream come true. She even had an appointment for my maid of honor to learn how to put up my bustle and she was so patient and such a good explainer. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who wants or needs alterations. She has extremely fair prices and over the top work. Lastly, she is an incredibly kind and warm lady who loves what she does.

    The best seamstress!!

    Wendy is an extremely talented seamstress. My wedding dress was fairly complicated (lots of beading, lace, trim) but she was able to alter multiple aspects of it with ease and skill. I am so happy I trusted her with my dress!! It fit me beautifully. I highly recommend Wendy for your alterations, big or small.

    The Absolute BEST!!!

    It was a pleasure to work with Wendy! I met Wendy when I was at an alterations appointment for my friend for her wedding dress. My friend had such a great experience with Wendy that I knew I would have her do my wedding dress. Wendy was professional, kind, and flexible. I had to change my initial alterations appointment a few times and she was able to accommodate me without any hesitation. Wendy did such a fantastic job on my wedding dress! I loved how detailed oriented she was and how she wants to make your dress look absolutely perfect. She spent extra time with my long train and bustle. She was also patient and thorough with her directions with my bridesmaids when explaining the bustle process. I never felt more beautiful! Thank you again Wendy!

    Best fitting dress!

    I bought my wedding dress of Facebook marketplace from a recent bride who didn't see the need to hang onto her dress. I had a consult with Wendy and returned for alterations, and she made my dress fit like it was designed specifically for me! I have uneven breasts and an asymmetric chest wall deformity that she did a great job hiding and offered options to further cover it up but I didn't feel I needed it after her alterations. Amazing job, highly recommend!

    Definitely a GO TO!!

    It was a pleasure working with Wendy for my wedding this past July! She’s VERY prompt and offers suggestions. Make sure you eat before your fittings. I had such a busy day before seeing her and I wasn’t feeling well. She allowed me to rest and provided me with crackers and water. She’s such a sweetheart! Excellent work!

    Detailed and very accommodating

    Wendy did an absolutely amazing job altering my wedding dress and I would highly recommend her to any future brides. My original dress was almost an entire size too big and way too long and I was very nervous about how it would fit on my wedding day. Wendy reassured me during the entire process and even worked in an extra fitting to calm my nerves. My final dress was even better than I imagined and fit me like a glove. Wendy's ample bridal experience truly sets her apart and she will do everything in her power to meet your needs!

    Best experience!

    I called Wendy a month before my elopement wedding and she made it happen with no issues! She lets you know exactly what she’s doing upfront. We had a schedule from day 1 and it went exactly as planned. She is so sweet. I had such a wonderful experience!

    I bought 2 couture wedding dresses that are both very expensive and cost thousands of dollars each dress. I wanted to see if I could save money on the alterations and find a budget friendly, good quality seamstress who could do the alterations for my wedding dress because all the wedding dress boutiques are super expensive and charge $400 or more just for hemming so I found Wendy on weddingwire.com and read all the reviews she received and noticed she won multiple wedding wire awards and her work seemed pretty impressive.

    I was nervous and very worried to leave my expensive dress with just any seamstress but she really put me at ease when she showed me what she would do with my dress and how. She had to hem my dress which is no easy task because I have like 5 layers of material and very intricate lace, she had to pull in the bodice, pull in the hips and alot of other things that needed to be done and she did everything perfectly and she saved me hundreds of dollars! Her prices are unbeatable and her work is exceptional! I am going back to her with my second wedding dress for my second wedding. I highly recommend her! She is trust worthy, offers amazing prices, service is excellent, and quality of her work is top notch. Why spend hundreds of dollars at over priced wedding dress boutiques? Go to Wendy and save money and get your dress done perfectly! Thank you Wendy for making my wedding dress perfect! YOU ARE AMAZING!! :)
