    1000% would recommend

    Wendy’s work is absolutely amazing, we basically redesigned my whole dress to something even more stunning than I could have ever dreamed. From custom sleeves to a custom overskirt everything was perfect

    Perfection!

    Wendy is absolute perfection. From start to finish, she was punctual, incredibly professional, and someone I trusted completely with my wedding dress.
    She handled my 8-layer princess ballgown with a 6-foot train like an absolute boss. Not once did I feel nervous; I knew my dress was in the best hands the entire time. At one point, the cups in my dress started to turn yellow. Wendy didn’t hesitate, ripped them right out, looked at me and said, “Trust me!” And wow, my dress turned out beyond perfect. On the wedding day, I truly couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
    She taught my sister how to correctly corset and bustle my dress, and she also taught me how to walk and sit properly in my dress.
    If you are looking for someone who is skilled, confident, and genuinely cares about their craft, Wendy is it. I cannot recommend her enough.

    Wedding Dress Alterations

    Wendy was really great to work with! She did an amazing job on my wedding dress and the whole process was about 1.5 months for a very intricate lace gown. She made it fit to my body perfectly! Her pricing is very reasonable, especially knowing the hours and perfection she put into hand sewing the lace. Would highly recommend!

    Great wedding dress alterations

    I worked with Wendy in the beginning of January this year and my wedding dress turned out amazing. I was extremely happy with all the alterations I needed, which were a lot. She gave her professional opinion which was valued since she has lots of experience. She even worked with me to create a a bustle I envisioned, even though it was difficult with 23 bustle points. Added extra alterations appointments when needed to make sure my dress turned out perfectly. She was very responsive and was on time with every appointment. Made this experience easy. I highly recommend her services!!

    Best alterations!

    Wendy was amazing. My dress was a sample I got last minute and she made it look brand new. She took extra time to show me how to sit, bustle, and steam my dress. Her pricing was incredibly affordable and she made the entire dress enjoyable. Don't take your dress anywhere else!

    Beautiful Wedding Dress Alterations

    Wendy was so professional and kind. She paid such extreme attention to detail for my wedding dress and the turn out was so much better than I could have imagined! The dress ended up fitting like a glove and the bustle was so elaborately created that the train looked just as gorgeous down as it did up and attached! I felt so pretty and confident on my wedding day all thanks to Wendy! Come to her for all alterations needs in the Tampa Bay Area!!

    Wendy was amazing!

    Wendy was wonderful and did an amazing job on my dress! She taught my bridesmaids how to do the corset backing and how to tie a proper bow. I originally went to her thinking my dress was way too big but she showed us how to properly put and on and it fit liked a glove! I wanted to wear a bra with my dress and she added bra loops which allowed me to do that. She did an amazing job tightening the sleeves which were way too loose. My dress looked beautiful!

    Wendy is a life-saver!

    After being told by 3 other alteration companies that my wedding dress could not be resized and the seams let out, I went to Wendy as a last resort and she was able to make my wedding dress fit perfectly! She is very professional, sweet and informative.

    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!
    UPDATE: wedding was a huge success and the 13-point bustle for my train was PERFECT. see pictures!

    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.

    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 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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 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!

    Wedding dress nightmare recovery with Wendy

    The first seamstress I went to for simple alterations (or so I thought were simple) completely destroyed my dress. I was referred to Wendy by multiple people and I’m so glad I found her. She IMMEDIATELY spotted one of the biggest issues of why the dress did not fit or look the same and new exactly what to do to fix. She completely disassembled and reconstructed the bodice of my gown. She also fixed my skirt which was a difficult project on its own(the skirt was floor length ball gown style that I wanted tea length). Wendy is extremely informative on what and why she is doing certain things and honest with what can and cannot be done, But after what she was able to do with my dress disaster I find it hard to believe that there is much she can’t do. Wendy is an alterations genius and I will forever recommend and use her for any alterations I need.

    Excellent attention to detail!

    We went to Wendy to have my wedding dress altered. She was fantastic and gave me the most beautiful 18 point bustle I have ever seen. The dress fit me perfectly! One of the little girls at my wedding told her mom that she wanted to take a picture with the princess. Thank you Wendy for making me look like a princess. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Wendy is an awesome seamstress! She’s a perfectionist and wants to make sure you’re happy with the final product. She is accommodating on scheduling since we come out of town we needed to do our alterations on the weekend. I would highly recommend her for anybody who wants perfection!

    Very Talented

    Despite having multiple layers and lots of bustle points, Wendy did an amazing job on my wedding dress. She even altered my mom’s veil from the 70s so I could wear it at my wedding. Everything looked perfect and any bridal shop would have easily charged double. Don’t waste your money elsewhere!

    Happy Sarasota Bride!

    Wendy is the holy grail of alterations!
    I cannot say enough about how professional, thorough, and talented Wendy is!
    I traveled from Sarasota to work with Wendy, as she previously altered my sister-in-laws bridal gown and I would only trust her with mine! She has become our family go-to!

    Wendy is so thorough and pays incredible attention to detail! She made sure we all knew how to leave my corset correctly and bustle my gorgeous custom French bustle! Her pricing is also extremely competitive- she truly loves what she does!

    Thank you so much, Wendy!
    My dress was perfect and I felt so beautiful on my special day!

    Wendy is Awesome!

    Wendy was great to work with! I purchased my dress at the White Magnolia in Tampa and she was one of their recommended seamstresses and I’m so glad I found her. She is responsive, professional, and accommodating. My dress did not have much structure and I’m small chested so it took a few appointments to get it right but Wendy was incredibly patient with me in getting it right. This was no fault of hers as I believe my dress was ordered in a few sizes too big and it was made for someone who may have been able to fill it out more “naturally” if you will. Wendy added and removed different cups multiple times to my liking and we finally got it to where I was comfortable. Double sided tape and boob tape sealed the deal and it fit perfectly! Aside from my cup issues, everything else was perfect and my dress exceeded my expectations thanks to Wendy! I definitely recommend her and would use her again!

    Detail-oriented and dress turned out perfectly

    Wendy did an incredible job with my wedding dress! She is a master of identifying exactly what needs to happen and executing accordingly. I whole-heartedly recommend her for anyone looking for alterations. She was also the most flexible vendor in terms of scheduling - especially considering I was flying in from out of town for fittings. Thanks, Wendy! :-)

    Great experience

    Wendy was super affordable and knowledgeable about her profession. Where I am most impressed was she had a solution for being able to keep my diabetic pump in place in my dress which was super helpful. My dress looked perfect the day of and she was awesome. I am glad she was recommended to me and I highly recommend her too.

    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!!

    Absolutely Perfect

    Wendy is not only unbelievably sweet, but her work is PERFECT. When I came in, I had a strapless mermaid gown that was 4 sizes too big for me. She was able to take everything in, hem it perfectly, create a brand new bustle, add structure, etc. I was so nervous trying to find alterations for my wedding dress, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!

    Very professional and incredibly helpful

    Wendy helped us get a wedding dress bustled and altered when we had to make last minute changes to our wedding which was postponed twice and finally at the last moment we had to have a small gathering for just family in a totally different city! Wendy did the alterations we needed in just a few days. We cannot thank her enough for also altering the rehearsal dinner dress too! Everything was beautifully done and Wendy made it seem so easy, working with her was was a pleasure.

    Professional Tailor For All Your Wedding Needs!

    Wendy was a pleasure to work with. Due to complications with COVID I ended up having to buy a dress online overseas and was extremely worried that I would not be able to have it altered in time. I was nervous that a tailor would ruin it and I would not have time to fix it or find another dress. There was no need to worry with Wendy! She was able to give me a quick turn around, had no problem working with the delicate material, and made sure to ask if I felt comfortable in the dress while she took her measurements and adjusted as needed. She was such a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her!

    Very good!

    I recently used Wendy to alter my wedding dress and she did an amazing job! I wanted lining added to the top half of my dress and she made it look perfect and she also added cups. Wendy definitely has good attention to detail, which is so appreciated when working on a wedding dress! She is very easy to get in contact with and I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Wendy!

    Wendy is the best! Affordable, professional, and beyond talented.

    I purchased a beautiful crepe dress from The Dressing Room, it was off-the-rack so it wasn't my size and needed some repairing to buttons and beading. Wendy completely brought my dress back to life and altered it to fit my body like a glove. I went to two alteration consultations before I found Wendy, her prices were a lot more affordable and she was far more professional and knowledgeable than the other two that I met with. Wendy took my dress in, shortened it, and repaired all buttons and beading, she also added a nice belt to it since the one that it came with was in poor condition. She is also a bustle queen! She lifted up my heavy crepe gown with a 16 point bustle and it stayed put all night. All brides should go to Wendy, you and your dress are in the best hands with her! She is the only seamstress that I would recommend for Florida brides.

    Wendy really blew me away with her expertise and skill regarding wedding dresses and alterations! I really felt comfortable during the alterations process and the outcome was flawless. My dress fit perfectly, and I was obsessed with the look of the bustle! She really puts her creativity and time into her work! I had compliment after compliment, and I would recommend her for any alteration needs.

    Wendy did an amazing job I had to buy my dress off of the rack because I waited too long to purchase a gown for my wedding. It was three sizes too big with sleeves and she managed to make it fit me perfectly. I would highly recommend going to her to trust her with such a big job!

    Wendy is the best!

    I did my research well before I called on Wendy. I chose her because she had countless raving reviews on her professional detail. My dress was a very fitted dress with a heavily beaded back that I wanted to make sure would not be compromised during the alterations. Wendy got it perfect on the first fitting and created a beautiful french bustle for the train. Her pricing is beyond reasonable for her work as well. Scheduling and accommodating you and her telling you how the timeline of what needs to be done is accurate with no delays. She is the best!

    Wonderful!

    Wendy was wonderful to work with for my dress alterations. She was efficient and extremely detail-oriented so my dress fit perfectly and looked wonderful on my wedding day. I also was extremely satisfied with the 11-point French bustle she created. My dress silhouette still looked gorgeous when bustled and was so easy to dance in. To top off her wonderful work, Wendy is extremely kind and her prices are very affordable. All around she is the best pick in the area for alterations!

    Beautiful and Perfect Alterations at a Great Price!!!

    I used Wendy to alter both my wedding ceremony and reception dresses! She was so sweet and never made me feel rushed during the fittings. I was completely amazed by her attention to detail and making sure everything about my dresses were absolutely perfect!!! I was kind of scared to go get my dress altered because I've heard horror stories about wedding dress alterations and needless to say you'll be in great hands if you choose Wendy! She's AMAZING!!!

    For my wedding dress Wendy did an amazing job! She cut the hem beautifully in a way you could not tell it was even altered. The bustle was beautiful and she even color coded them for ease. She takes pride in her work and it shows! Her prices are also very reasonable. I would recommend her to all my family and friends for wedding dress alterations.

    Thankful for Wendy!!

    I bought my dress in Pittsburgh, PA (my hometown) and had my alterations done there. I am getting married in St. Pete Beach...and due to my alterations taking a little longer, my dad ended up flying my dress to Florida less than a month before my wedding. I tried it on, hoping for everything to fit just right, and in sheer panic I called my closest friends because the top of my dress gapped out exposing my chest (no thank you!) ....My very good friend, who I consider my "fairy godmother" because she is always saving my life, said not to worry - Monday morning, she found Wendy, made us an appointment and we were there later that day. Wendy was so kind to take us in, she knew exactly what to do (I had trouble since moving here finding a seamstress I trust - I have tried at least 8!) ...she made my dress perfect! She worked with me on how to properly sit and move in my dress, as well as the best way to put it on. She was extremely patient, helpful and understanding of the insecurities I was having. She really took interest in wanting to make sure I felt perfect for my special day. I am very thankful for Wendy and highly recommend her to any bride!! You will not be disappointed!

    Wendy altered my dress from a size 24 all the way down to a size 14! She turned a worrisome dress purchase into the gown of my dreams. I never felt more beautiful!

    Wendy did a great job altering my wedding dress! She is very kind and was easy to work with! Her pricing is also very competitive, but just remember not to procrastinate or else there’s a $100 rush fee if your wedding is within 6 weeks.

    Wendy was Awesome!

    Alterations by Wendy was recommended to us by our wedding planner. We bought the dress in a different city so the bridal salon where we bought it couldn't do the alterations. Thank goodness we found Wendy. She really came through for us, she takes her business very seriously and did a great job on my daughter's gown. We highly recommend her!

    Exceptional & Affordable!

    Wendy did such a beautiful job altering my wedding dress. She had very fair prices, and it was evident that she truly cares about her clients and her work. My dress fit perfectly, and I had so many compliments on how it looked. There was extensive beading that needed to be reworked due to the dress being too large; however, Wendy was able to easily adjust the dress and the bead-work. I would highly recommend Wendy to any brides in the area!

    Wendy is AMAZING! Knows what's she is doing!

    I can not thank Wendy enough for fixing my mother of the bride dress. A different alterations place attempted to make alterations and they ended up almost ruining the dress. Wendy was able to repair the damage to the dress and it turned out beautiful. Can not even tell it was almost ruined. She is professional and sweet, and does amazing work. I highly recommend her!

    The perfect fit!

    Working with Wendy was such a pleasure! With less than two months to go before my big day, Wendy turned by dress into the perfect fit, adding cups, taking in the waist, hemming and bustling for much less than I'd been quoted by another vendor. Her work was amazing, as is her professionalism. I felt like a princess in my dress on my wedding day, and that wouldn't have been possible without her!

    Fantastic!

    Wendy was wonderful to work with! I found a sample dress that was two sizes too big, and she altered it perfectly to fit! Appointments were easy to schedule and prompt. The cost was significantly cheaper than other alterations options. She added supports to the dress to make sure it fit right (it's strapless with lace in the back). Very pleased! Would highly recommend anyone to work with Wendy!

    No one better than Ms. Wendy!!!!

    It’s hard to sum up how amazing Wendy is at her job, but if I we’re to choose one word it would be PERFECT!!! She is easy to communicate with, she’s professional, she takes her time, not expensive, and she does an amazing job. Save your time by choosing her, no reason to look any further because she’s the one for you. She did my wedding dress, and my sisters bridesmaid dress for my wedding on 3/9/2019!

    Wendy did amazing on my dress!!

    I can’t recommend her enough. I seriously can’t believe what she was able to do with my dress. I got my dress off the rack, missing a button, way too long, way too big and somehow she made it fit like a glove! She probably took it in about two sizes and did it with horsehair and lots and lots of beading, and for an AMAZING price! I expected to spend about $800 on alterations based off what I’d heard, but she charged about half that. She also steamed my dress & veil, which turned out perfect! I really don’t know how she does it but she’s amazing!! Highly, highly recommend.

    Impeccable Transformation to My Dress!

    I fell in love with and purchased the very first dress I tried on! But there were a few things that I wanted to change about the dress to ultimately transform it into my dream gown. It was far too long (I'm 5' tall), I wanted to have lace removed from the front and the back of the dress and I also wanted a slit in the leg. Wendy completely understood my vision and she tailored the fit completely to me. She added bra cups and even cut the bodice to be snug and compliment my frame. She also created a gorgeous bustle to lift my train. The removal of the lace was a tedious job and Wendy had no problem taking on the task. The before and after photos of my dress are absolutely shocking and breath-taking. I thought I loved my dress before, but thanks to Wendy - the after of my dress left me completely speechless. It looks like my dress was 100% made for me. Wendy is a true artist. Her attention to detail, her patience, her creativity and her love for her craft made my dream dress a reality. I could not be more pleased. If you are needing a seamstress for your wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, flower girls, mom's dress and you are in the Tampa area, Wendy is the go-to option.

    Wendy is absolute wonderful. Not only is she honest and genuine, but she is kind and incredibly talented. I am so grateful that I found her to help me alter my wedding dress. Her prices are truly the best I’ve seen and she really just wants to help everyone who she meets. I highly, highly recommend her. I’m so excited to see how my wedding dress turns out because I know it’s in the best hands. Thank you Wendy!!

    Dress = Perfect!

    My dress needed few alterations, but Wendy did an amazing job of making the dress look perfect! She's very skilled at what she does and is obviously very committed to making every bride look perfect for her big day! I also ended up paying less than I had budgeted for alterations which is always a bonus. Highly recommend!

    Wendy did an amazing job with my dress! It is a form fitting dress, and it was extremely tight once it arrived in my size- which was disappointing since the comfortabity of the dress was one of the reasons I fell in love with it. Wendy worked a miracle- she was able to make it PERFECT and make it so comfortable once again! I highly recommend her for all bridal alterations!

    Dress fit like a Royal glove! Wendy did an amazing job with both my daughters wedding gown and my MOB gown. She was professional, on time, price was worth every cent. I was taken aback by the MANY compliments at the wedding on how the dress looked like it was MADE for our daughter the bride and how well it fit her body. Wendy also put in a bustle that worked great once it was time to dance! She’s amazing and was worth the drive for fitting in her home when we couldn’t get to Malindy Elene shop in time. Also note, she had to take off the lace at the bottom hem the dress then put back on. AMAZING! (FYI price was for both Bride and MOB dresses)

    Wendy provided alterations for my wedding dress. She was upfront with her pricing on the phone prior to scheduling an appointment. She has years of experience and it shows. I had a 16 point bustle and my best friend has done many bustles and said it was the easiest. She matched up each bustle with similar white patterned ribbons and it made it a breeze, especially after a cocktail or two. She even provided tips on how to easily get out of a buttoned wedding dress after the wedding, as grooms are typically clueless in that department. My dress had a lot of beading and many layers, all were done with ease. The quality of work and timeliness was fantastic. I traveled from Orlando to see her every time, it was always worth the trip! Thank you!

    Wendy was absolutely amazing! I bought a dress from David’s bridal. Was terrified to take it back to those people for alterations . So one of my bridesmaids recommended her because she got her wedding dress altered there. Anyways...Wendy’s prices were absolutely cost effective. I had a budget set. And didn’t even use half of it. She did an 8 point bussle. Even added little beads to make it pretty. Was not expecting that. And she took the time to show a few of my bridesmaids how to lace my coresette back up. I didn’t need much altering. But! She knows what she’s doing. I would definitely reccomend her for any of your alterations.

    I will be recommending Wendy to everyone! She altered my wedding dress and it was done in a timely manner and SO affordable! Wendy added 15 bustle points to my dress, added cups to the top, hemmed it AND took the boning out and redid it because it wasn’t laying right! After all that, my wedding dress still looked beautiful and it was every thing I hoped it could be after alterations! I then returned to have a bridesmaids dress altered for an upcoming wedding. And THEN again for another dress that was too big up top. Both of the other dresses were done within a week and of course looked perfect. You will not be disappointed if you come to Wendy for alterations!

    Wendy was a joy to work with. This woman is so sweet, she reminds me of my own mom. She's extremely detail oriented and incredibly hardworking. She stayed up late into the night to work on my 13-POINT BUSTLE. This bustle was so natural looking when it was up. Wow. She's really a master of her craft, and extremely affordable!

    Thank you, Wendy, for making all my dress dreams come true. I felt like a floating cloud of joy throughout my wedding day.

    Wendy is truly a master seamstress. She quite literally saved my wedding day when she rush fitted and altered my very delicate, many layered tule Lazaro gown. My wedding dressed had to be sent back to the designer due to some issues on their part cutting the skirt. When it Finally came back it was about a week and a half to my wedding day and I was in full panic mode. I did not think it would be possible to finish any needed alterations in time on such a delicate gown (the whole gown was made of tule and lace). My bridal shop sent me to Wendy, and I can not tell you how thankful for her I am. Not only was her work flawless she had my gown ready in less than a week. She took in the bodes, hemmed the inner lining, installed a belt and created a gorgeous 12 point bustle for my gown. It was perfect.

    I can not recommend Wendy enough to any bride looking for an expert seamstress. My gown was probably one of the most difficult type of dresses you could alter, and she did a gorgeous job. I will continue to take all my alterations to Wendy from now on.

    I cannot recommend Wendy more! Wendy installed 9 bustle points, added cups, and fixed a hole in the sleeve of my wedding gown.

    I won't lie I was extremely nervous to 1. leave my designer Galia Lahav gown with someone and 2. to allow someone to work on it. I've heard a number of wedding alteration horror stories. I did a lot of research and requested recommendations from many bridal boutiques in Tampa. Wendy's name came up again and again thus, I made the drive to Clearwater. Her work was WORTH the drive!

    You pay up front which again I was nervous about however, she does NOT let you leave without being completely satisfied! My first appointment we tried on the dress and looked at what needed to be done, I paid and agreed on a pickup date. When I returned to pick the dress up she had me try on my dress again to see if everything was perfect. Wendy combed over her work and decided a bustle loop should be moved a couple of millimeters. She fixed it right then and there! She also hand sewed a hole in my delicate mesh sleeve in order to repair it. You can’t even tell were her work begins and ends. Her attention to detail is impressive. When I took my dress home and showed my mother her work, she agreed Wendy has great talent and skill!

    Wendy always made me feel comfortable. She is kind, patient, organized and not to mention amazing at her craft. She took time to show me how the dress should be bustled and even helped me decide on which earrings paired best with my gown. If you would like your dress to be handled by a caring expert bring it to Wendy. Her work exceeded my expectations and cost next to nothing.

    Wendy went truly above and beyond. I purchased a dress online and it was a completely botched job. The company helped me find Wendy and she turned it into a fabulous, beautiful dress that fit perfectly in about 10 days. It was truly miraculous and I am incredibly thankful for her amazing work and attention to detail! She even hand-delivered the dress to my office! Thank you Wendy :)

She also gave me much needed guidance for wedding do's and don'ts that were so helpful! LOVE her!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Wendy! She is incredibly talented and a delight to work with. She is warm, welcoming, and her home is beautiful. She addressed the many concerns I had with my dress and talked me through each decision and price, as I have never had anything altered before. My dress was so large on top, I didn't think it would be able to be altered to fit. Wendy worked her magic and now the dress fits like a glove. It is strapless and I was worried about it falling down constantly, so Wendy installed an inner band-genius! Now, I feel like I could do cartwheels in my dress and it wouldn't move. My entire experience with Wendy has been a dream. Aside from being incredibly talented, she is also sweet as sugar. You will NOT regret working with Wendy, but you will probably want your entire closet altered by her after you see her amazing work! :)

    Wendy is amazing and her prices are unbeatable! I had a Blush by Hayley Paige dress (Pepper Gown) that had a ton of layers of finished tulle which required being altered from the waste. I also had the straps tightened, bra pads sewn in and my bustle done. As you can imagine, I was really nervous because the top is beaded but Wendy was precise with her measurements and had total confidence and of course my dress turned out PERFECT! Wendy works out of her home and is a complete professional and very organized. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wendy – your wedding dress is in GREAT hands with her!

    During my wedding dress alteration search I was nervous and extremely worried about leaving my precious one of a kind wedding dress with just any seamstress. When I was introduced to Wendy I was amazed and she really put me at ease when she showed me the design of my bustle and how it would look. Her prices are unbeatable and her work is exceptional! Thank you Wendy for being extremely flexible with the storm and making my wedding dress bustle perfect! JaRhonda

    Wendy was so great! I was extremely nervous as I'm not from Tampa and didn't get my dress here, thus no major store dress boutiques alteration services would touch it. I was (very!!) nervous to give my designer gown to anyone, especially in someone's home, but Wendy's confidence convinced me. I had no clue what type of train, etc I was suppose to be getting but Wendy literally took care of everything. I received a huge amount of complaints not only on my dress but how it look "at my reception" (aka bustled). I have seen photos of this same dress worn by other brides since my wedding (same designer-
    not my dress) and none of them had it bustled as much off the floor as I did and none looked like a totally different and amazing dress. She saw my dress and had the perfect vision. She also fixed my no bra issue with the dress and had to resize some lace and made it look perfect. I feel so lucky to have found Wendy! Did I mention she is super affordable?

    Wendy did an amazing job with my wedding dress! She listened to all my requests, and thoroughly explained what she was going to do in order to fix the problem areas. It really made me feel better because I was a nervous wreck about having my precious wedding dress cut up!

    Wendy was excellent! I had many of layers in my dress that needed to be altered, a corset put in, and an 11 point bustle. Her work is very detailed and she is great!
