    Amazing - Contact Early!!

    Heather is absolutely incredible! She is so knowledgeable and knows how to make any dress look great! I had a dress with a lot of delicate laters and lace. She was able to hem my dress AND move the delicate lace up the dress so I did not lose the details I loved about the dress. She was so professional and just amazing. I was nervous that she would be out of our budget, but she was in line with a lot of the quotes I received and she is by far the best in the business. She also added made sure the dress looked amazing while bustled. She also made it very easy for someone to bustle the day of. I am so eternally grateful to have been able to work with Heather!

    10/10 experience, Heather is the best!

    Heather is truly a joy to work with!! Not only did my wedding dress fit perfectly, she made me feel so confident every time I stepped into her studio! She is extremely professional, and walked my MOH step by step through the bustle instructions and made sure she understood. She is an artist at her craft, and I would recommend her time and time again to any bride needing alterations done! Her alterations space is located in her beautiful home, and there is ample driveway parking as well as on the street in front of her home.

    Highly recommended!!

    Heather was such an amazing find for me! I had a beautiful dress that didn't need a lot of alterations, but I needed a professional to help me revamp it so it was easier to walk in. Heather had great ideas and made the dress even more beautiful. She was incredibly communicative and efficient. I really appreciated knowing exactly what to expect at each fitting and knowing the timeframe. She did an amazing job and I highly recommend her for your wedding alteration needs!

    Beautiful Dress Alterations

    I could not have chosen anyone better to alter my wedding dress. It is so clear that Heather takes the utmost pride in the work she does and is genuinely so excited for the brides she works with. She was very open with her communication and helped guide me as I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do with the length as I got married on a beach. She made this process stress free and would absolutely recommend her for any bride in the future.

    Amazing experience working with Custom Sewing by Heather!

    Heather was able to completely rework my dress and did an incredible job! I lost quite a bit of weight after purchasing my dress, so Heather had to take it in pretty significantly to make it fit. She was able to work me into her busy schedule and got all the alterations done within a few weeks. Heather took such good care of my dress and I was amazed by the final product!

    Heather’s Tips and Expertise Made All the Difference

    Heather is an absolute gem, and I’m so grateful for her expertise in altering not just one but two very different dresses for my wedding. From our first meeting, she put me completely at ease with her wealth of experience and deep knowledge of dresses, fabrics, and alterations. She didn’t just make my dresses fit perfectly; she also provided great tips and ideas that made the process so much smoother.

    One thing I truly appreciated was her honesty and reassurance about what it means to wear a delicate dress all evening. She reminded me multiple times that my dress would get dirty, and things might even fall apart—and she was absolutely right! By the time I walked down the aisle, the underside of my dress was dirty, and during the reception (#KnuckIfYouBuck), one of my straps came undone. But none of that caused me any stress because Heather had prepared me for the reality of enjoying my night in a beautiful, delicate gown.

    On top of her technical skills, Heather has a calming presence that worked wonders for my nervous energy. She was always polite, kind, and patient, which made the fittings so much easier. Bonus points: dress alterations can sometimes feel uncomfortable due to body image concerns, but I never felt anything but confident and comfortable in her care.

    Heather is truly a master of her craft, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She made my dresses—and me—feel amazing on one of the most special days of my life. Thank you, Heather!

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    Working with Heather was one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning. I went to her with a vision of a dress not sure if it was even possible but Heather worked with me and created my vision perfectly. She is very professional and informative. She addressed all my questions and concerns and made sure I understood my dress and the alterations before she did them. Definitely would recommend Heather to any bride!

    Custom Sewing by Heather is Phenomenal!!

    From start to finish, I am SO glad I worked with Heather. She is truly so professional, timely, respectful, and just simply amazing! There are so many moving parts to planning a wedding, and it gave me such peace of mind to know my dress was in amazing hands. She is trustworthy and knows what she is doing down to the smallest details, including the bustling of the dress.

    When my dress came in later than it was supposed to, she kept me calm and was flexible to work with me to get dates that worked to get my dress done in time before my wedding day. I am so, so, glad I had the privilege to have her work on my dress. It was perfection! Thank you Heather!

    Heather is the best

    I truly loved working with Heather! She was diligent, professional, and easy to communicate with. As an out of town bride, she was very accommodating, and fit in all 5 of my alterations appointments when it worked for my schedule. Her quality was also top notch - my dress was quite simple but there was no sign of any alterations, and the final product looked amazing. She worked wonders on my dress, and I would highly recommend Heather to any bride needing alterations!

    Amazing Wedding Dress Alterations!

    Heather is absolutely amazing at what she does! I brought my wedding dress in for alterations and also wanted to customize it by adding a slit to the skirt and Heather was so helpful and professional and gave me great advice and suggestions on what would look best and I am in love with how it turned out! Setting up appointments was so easy and Heather was very accomodating when we had a change in wedding plans and moved up our date very last minute. She quickly looked at her schedule and was able to fit me in to get my dress finished on time. Her studio is also beautiful and appointments are quick and easy. I would highly recommend booking with her!

    Enchanting Elegance: Heather's Masterful Touch on My Wedding Dress

    Heather truly deserves every bit of praise for her exceptional alterations on my wedding dress. From the moment I stepped into her beautifully arranged home setup, I knew I was in capable hands. Heather made the entire alteration process a breeze, handling each appointment with grace and expertise.

    Despite the significant weight loss I experienced between ordering my dress and the big day, Heather worked her magic flawlessly. She skillfully took in my dress, seamlessly preserving every intricate lace detail. The result was a gown that fit me like a dream, accentuating my figure perfectly.

    One of Heather's standout creations was the stunning bustle she crafted for my train. With two layers adorned with color-coded buttons and ribbons, including a charming "something blue," it was a work of art in itself. What truly set Heather apart was her dedication to ensuring my bridesmaids were fully equipped to handle the bustle on the wedding day. Her hands-on training meant that even in dim lighting at dusk, my bridesmaids could effortlessly execute the bustle, allowing me to dance the night away without worry.

    Heather's attention to detail extended beyond alterations. She provided invaluable advice on traveling with my dress to Hawaii, recommending double bagging and inquiring with the flight attendants to hang the gown safely. Her ingenious suggestion of using a knitting needle to assist with the intricate buttons was a game-changer.

    In every aspect of her work, Heather exuded professionalism, skill, and genuine care for her clients. Thanks to her expertise, my wedding dress was not just a garment but a masterpiece that made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my special day. I cannot recommend Heather highly enough for anyone seeking impeccable alterations and personalized service. She is truly a gem in the world of bridal couture.

    An amazing experience all around!

    Heather is amazing!! She is super knowledgeable, professional, kind and efficient. I purchased my dress at The Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul and they provided me with a list of recommended seamstresses, when I looked up Heather and read the hundreds of positive reviews I called her right away! I was nervous about scheduling my appointments, being that I live in North Carolina, but would be getting married (and my dress was stored) in Minnesota. Heather quickly took a look at her calendar and was able to schedule all 6 appointments during trips I was already planning on being in Minnesota. The appointments were quick and simple with Heather's expert guidance and she even taught my mom and maid of honor how to do the bustle (which Heather makes foolproof and simple!). I would highly recommend Heather for any bride and would highly recommend booking as soon as you can, as she stays very busy with clients, for good reason - she is a pro!

    The Best in the Twin Cities

    If you are looking for a wedding dress seamstress in the Twin Cities, Heather is your girl! She is absolutely amazing to work with and her attention to detail is second to none. I didn’t call Heather until I received my dress, which usually will not work for her busy schedule, however she was kind enough to work with me and get me scheduled for all five of my fittings. My recommendation: book with Heather as soon as you order your dress! I didn’t think it was possible, but I love my dress ever more after the alterations Heather made and cannot wait for my fiancé to see me in it so soon! Brides, look no further, you’ve found the best seamstress in the Twin Cities. Her studio is gorgeous, she keeps you on time during your fittings so they are very efficient, and she is awesome to work with!

    Wedding dress alteration - 10/10!

    Heather is amazing!!

    Heather is AMAZING!!! I bought a dress that I loved, but wasn’t fully me and I didn’t feel 100% confident in at the time of purchase. I knew it was a risk but I am so happy that I found Heather who was able to create the dress of my dreams! From day one, she was always looking for more ways to perfect my dress and step by step, appointment by appointment, things came together perfectly and I feel so comfortable in my beautiful wedding dress! Heather makes you feel comfortable and welcome, not to mention her home is welcoming, clean, and beautiful. Heather was also upfront about pricing right away. I would suggest Heather for any bride looking for alterations!

    Exceptional Alterations Experience

    I cannot say enough great things about Heather, her talent, attention to detail and the entire dress alterations experience! From the first interaction with her I knew she was detailed, organized and highly experienced. I knew instantly that my dress was in great hands. She took a dress that I loved and transformed it into the most amazing thing I have worn! I loved my dress from the moment I bought it, but I didn't have that bridal dress moment until half way through the alerations process when I could see how Heather transformed the dress into MY dress! Oh and the bustle...I almost loved my dress more bustled than not because it was just so beautiful!

    A magical experience - highly recommend

    Working with Heather to alter my dress was a dream! She was friendly, fun, professional, and it was clear she knew so much! She gave me tons of good tips for the big day and explained what she was doing as we went along. My dress was way larger than expected, so when it arrived I didn't know if it could be altered to fit my needs. Heather made it look AMAZING and worked wonders. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs their bridal gown altered. It will be in good hands!

    Heather was amazing to work with! She talked through everything that needed to be done to my dress and helped me learn what could be done if wanted. She is very knowledgeable and give step by step of what she is doing when working on your dress. She even helped me learn that bustles do not have to be ugly and unflattering and was so helpful! I 100% recommend Heather and her amazing work!

    So professional and considerate!

    Heather was so great to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and continually gave me the confidence when the dress was not fitting me right away. She was so professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend working with Heather to ease your stress as you plan your wedding!

    Heather is amazing to work with. I cannot stress enough how professional and skilled she is. From the first time I met her, I trusted her 100% and knew I was in good hands. She listens to what you’re looking for and also really understands this kind of work. She is a perfectionist and it showed. I would highly recommend if you want an exceptional experience!

    Astounding Work!

    Working with Heather has been absolutely wonderful. She's well organized, gives you an estimate of how much the alterations will cost up front, and does a phenomenal job with her work. If you choose to go with Heather, you can guarantee to be stress free when it comes to how your dress will fit and how beautiful it will look on you. VERY pleased with my experience and will definitely be back for more of my dresses!

    Miracle Fit

    When I brought my dress to Heather it was a long sleeve, low neck, backless, wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. 😅 I have a small chest and the top had no structure so it was gapping and slipping off everywhere.

    But I had ZERO problems on my wedding day thanks to Heathers amazing sewing skills and advice. The sleeves and top fit me like an absolute glove and never moved all night. I was able to hug, dance, and twirl with out fear.

    Would go to her for a perfect fit every time.

    Plus Size Bride seeking Alterations

    When I was looking for Wedding Dress Alterations, I came across a couple reviews on some facebook groups for Heather. When I called her, I knew right away that I had made an excellent decision by requesting her expertise. The first time I met Heather, she made expectations clear, the estimate was precise (and accurate on pay day-within $25!), and she had this glowing aura about her that made me excited. From start to finish, Heather was such a joy to speak with and talk to and just be in the same room with! As a plus size bride, looking for someone to make adjustments to a dress is TERRIFYING- and Heather, never once made me feel bad about my size, never commented, criticized, or treated me like anything other than a bride. If I am ever in the need for dress alterations again, Heather will be the FIRST person I call!!

    Fantastic work

    Heather was fantastic and clearly takes pride in her work. The entire time I worked with Heather she was organized and did well with communicating next steps. I had a very large ball gown dress and she provided the best care and service. She is talented in the work she does and I have highly recommend her.

    A wonderful experience

    I HIGHLY recommend Heather for any wedding gown alterations! The dress fit pretty well for being a second hand dress, but brought it to Heather for some fine tuning. Her hands are absolute magic! She made it to fit my body like a glove! I also thought it was reasonably priced given the fine detail and attention she gave my gown (and corresponding with me). You cannot go wrong with Custom Sewing by Heather! Hands down one of my greatest vendors and wonderful person. Thank you Heather!!

    Heather was absolutely incredible. I had so much fun going to my appointments and she made my wedding dress fit amazingly (which it did NOT when I bought it). Heather was so detailed-oriented that she fixed things on my dress I never would have noticed myself. The bustle on the dress was FABULOUS as well. I would recommend Heather to ANYONE.

    Oustanding!

    From the moment I stepped into Heather's in-home alterations studio, I knew my wedding dress was in the perfect hands. Heather is incredibly knowledgeable and is great about passing on her knowledge so informed decisions can be made every step of the way. I loved that she had several appointments throughout the process so that you have touch points on how your dress is coming along and know with certainty that each alteration is happening just right. Heather's great eye for design means that each detail is maintained, even as the dress is being taken in. Not to mention the beautiful (and clean!) studio space that she has created - beautiful changing rooms, lots of natural light, and a large mirror so you can watch Heather work her magic! Would recommend 1000x over. Thank you, Heather!

    Your dress is in good hands with Heather

    Heather was so detail-oriented and caring when it came to my wedding dress. She has a ton of experience, you won't have to worry about a thing with Heather. She was accurate with her cost estimate even though we added additional appointments so she could get everything done and make it look perfect. I ordered a strapless wedding dress and she was able to build custom straps on it so it looked exactly the way I envisioned it. My dress was fitted with a lot of lace, and she was able to alter it to fit like a glove. She also added a french bustle which was stunning the day of the wedding. Thank you so much, Heather!

    Heather is amazing! Choosing to work with her for my alterations was the best decision I could have made. She made the process so easy and straight-forward and still fun. Heather was able to offer suggestions and advice based on her extensive experience. For a type A like me it felt so reassuring to know my dress was in such experienced and capable hands. My dress was perfect, made for me, when Heather was done. It was everything I imagined and more!

    Amazing and fun

    Heather was recommended to me through my first bridal salon, although that dress fell through she was so supportive in working with me for my second dress. During my first appointment she walked me through each step, my appointments, the process and my vision for the dress. She was always on time, fast but checked in on me every step of the way. I had a lot of anxiety coming into the alterations process but she made it so easy and always went out of her way to make sure all of my questions and concerns were answered. My dress looked amazing after the last appointment! Thank you Heather for making my dress dreams come true and I cannot wait to show off the pictures once they're here!

    Words can never relay the experience I had with Heather. I don’t know if her listening skills of my dreams for my dress or her craft in making them come true are better. She is the one and only place to go when changing, altering, your dream dress for such a memorable day! Thank you Heather for an amazing experience.

    Please Consider Heather!

    Heather cares deeply about her work and her clientele. I had a bit of a situation that caused me to fall behind on timing of getting my dress altered and Heather was so eager to shift her schedule to be able to fit my dress in. She was precise, quick at her appointments, and made sure to explain what she was doing so I was never questioning. My dress fits beautifully now, the bustle is STUNNING the way she sewed it in, and I’m so excited to wear it on my big day tomorrow!

    I couldn’t be happier with how my dress turned out!

    Shortly after I got engaged in December of 2020, I asked my mom if she would be ok with me wearing her wedding and altering it. Once she gave me her blessing, I told her I didn’t want to commit 100% until I found the right seamstress.

    I originally met with Heather in October of 2021 to discuss wearing my mom’s wedding dress and would the changes that I want even be possible. After Heather told me that these changes would be possible, we got started. I saw Heather for 9 more appointments and my dress became a dream come true.

    I loved working with Heather, she was so amazing every step of the way. Halfway through the process, I decided I wanted to add a tulle skirt and she was so willing to make the additional changes.

    I couldn’t be happier with how my dress turned out and was so happy working with Heather.

    Wedding Dress Magic

    Heather is everything you’d want and more! She is organized, meticulous, and experienced. Her personality is warm and her studio feels both upscale and intimate. Heather allowed me to bring my grandmother to my final fitting as she was unable to make it to our destination wedding and it was such a sweet moment. I would recommend 100/10 that you choose Heather as part of your wedding experience!

    Knowledgeable and attentive!!

    I'm so lucky to have had Heather work on my wedding dress! She is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of experience, so I felt very at ease knowing my dress was in good hands. She has great attention to detail and made the dress fit me like a glove. I even had a last minute need to get wrinkles out of my dress, and she coordinated with her steamer so I'll have my dress back and steamed in time for my wedding. She is very busy but she makes time for you and makes you feel like you're her only bride. I highly recommend Heather for bridal alterations!

    Do yourself a favor and go to Heather!

    Heather was recommended to me by Bella Bridal Boutique and she was exceptional! From top to bottom of my dress she made it fit me perfectly! She even added material in the collar of my dress so it wouldn’t itch, which made the dress even more comfortable. Her French bustling system is genius and it looks beautiful. I can’t wait to wear my dress, thanks to Heather! She is a master at her art and I 100% recommend going to her for alterations.

    #1 - Amazing

    Heather is outstanding, nay AMAZING! She has decades of experience, endless list of happy customers, countless awards and honors of excellence. I could go on and on but all of her accolades still do not out weigh her natural gift. She is truly an artist and in the short time together makes you feel comfortable, special and beautiful. I enjoyed our chats while she would pin the dress to perfection. Every appointment the dress would fit, feel, and look better. I just had my final fitting and I love the dress more now than when I originally said yes. Do not hesitate, get on Heather's schedule today, you will not regret it!

    10/10 would recommend Heather!

    I can’t say enough good things about working with Heather as she tailored my wedding dress. Her craftsmanship is exquisite down to the detail, she has the entire process down to a “T”, and she makes it such an enjoyable experience! Her alterations are wonderful, including the little things that make a big difference, and the bustling appointment and directions made it easy for my personal attendant to know exactly what to do. Easily one of the best decisions of the wedding planning process! 10/10 would recommend her!

    Perfect Wedding Dress Alterations

    Heather did a fantastic job with my wedding dress alterations! We started the alteration appointments and then had a two year wedding delay due to covid. She was so flexible and understanding in shifting appointments and even held onto my dress for those two years and picked right back up where we left off closer to our final wedding date. I am so pleased with how my dress turned out, she really made me look & feel fabulous! I would 100% trust her with any alterations, she is truly amazing at what she does!

    Heather was so thoughtful, caring and wonderful to work with. She took her time to make sure both of my dresses were perfect in every way. She pays attention to detail and has the sweetest personality too! Her house is spotless and organized when you walk in and everything about my experience was top notch! Thank you Heather!!!

    Phenomenal

    LOVED Heather! I was an Out-of-town bride flying in from Los Angeles for wedding dress alterations. Heather is the kind of trust-worthy, hardworking, and skilled individual that draws people like me from California to her doorstep without a moment of hesitation! Heather was patient with my schedule, and fit me in for back-to back appointments so that I made less trips. She worked tirelessly to alter the hem line, change the dress size, and add sleeves from fabric of a jacket that came with the dress. Heather’s work is meticulous and she doesn’t miss anything when it comes to making the dress perfect for each individual bride. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Couldn't find anyone better

    Reasonable prices, and she's flexible. She planned for potential future appointments, gave me multiple options for a bustle and was honest with me. She informed me that I didn't need my dress hemmed or taken in, gave me a bustle, fixed my straps and added pockets!!! The price I paid is unbelievable! I couldn't have asked for anything better. When I asked for an inquiry somewhere else (for just the hem, bustle and pockets), I was quoted $700. Sadly, i didnt fit into my dress on the day of my wedding (it was too big, I didnt realize I lost weight, and i picked up my dress 2 weeks before the wedding. But I'm so glad I went to Heather. If I had to redo everything, I would still choose her

    One of the Best in the Business!

    Heather is amazing at what she does! She is so experienced and professional, and she saw so many ways to improve the fit of my dress that I would not have seen. From the moment that I walked in, I could tell that I was in good hands, and I left knowing that I had chosen the best seamstress for the job. I would not have picked anyone else to alter the most important dress that I will ever wear and cannot recommend Heather highly enough!

    You can't ask for better

    Heather altered a ballgown wedding dress for me to remove the train and improve the fit. The work was top notch and she took extra care to ensure the dress lines were perfect without the train. When the work was done, she helped me understand how to transport it (destination wedding) and the steps needed to straighten and fluff the skirts to get the best possible look on my wedding day. She's in high demand, so book her out just as soon as you can!

    From a beautiful dress to MY dream dress

    Heather did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding dress! I can't say enough good things. I received a list of alteration specialists from the bridal shop I bought my dress from. Due to the intricate lace on my dress and train, I was turned down a couple times by other specialists. By the time I found heather we were getting down the wire, and I was in tears scared no one would help. She was so kind to get me into her busy schedule. Upon trying my dress on at my appointment she immediately put me at ease. She was very kind & knowledgeable. She has an amazing & efficient flow to her appointments. I looked forward to each session watching my dress come more and more together. It is a beautiful dress, but it wasn't until that final appointment that it was MY dream dress, and I cannot thank her enough!

    Expert Seamstress

    I was referred to Custom Sewing by Heather from a friend, and I am so glad I was able to work with her before my wedding date! I contacted her in December of 2020, sort of late in the game, and she was able to book me for 3 try-on dates with her at her beautiful home for May, June, and July. My wedding was October 2nd.
    My dress needed minimal alterations, so she was able to book me shorter notice.
    Heather was so kind and professional, and her house was easy to find an so beautiful. I felt very comfortable with her. Not to mention, my dress fit Amazing!

    Absolutely Amazing Seamstress

    Heather is an absolutely amazing seamstress! She was so easy to work with and my dress fit like it was made for me. I felt so beautiful and received so many compliments on my dress, especially the bustle. She is professional, timely, and an expert on all things bridal! I appreciated all of the information she gave me regarding my dress. How you feel in your wedding dress the day of is one of the most important things and something I wouldn't trust just anyone to get right. I 100% recommend Heather to any bride. She is amazing and you won't regret it!

    Heather is very knowledgable and her studio space is truly amazing! I was a Covid bride that ended up postponing my wedding an entire year. Heather was kind enough to hold onto my dress and rescheduled my appointments to be closer to the postponed wedding date. She truly cares about making sure that your dress is perfect, and she delivers. I can't recommend her enough!

    Heather was truly fantastic to work with! Her home studio is beautiful and immaculate. She made me feel so comfortable and confident in my wedding dress. My dress needed to be hemmed, taken in, and a French Bustle, which Heather completed flawlessly. At every appointment, Heather was thoughtful and efficient. I highly recommend Custom Sewing by Heather for all bridal alterations!

    Amazing work

    Heather is the best! She took my dress from not fitting correctly to fitting like a glove, we were a covid wedding that had to reschedule, and covid was not kind, But you would NEVER know she re-worked the back to fit.

    She was so patient and sweet and took everything I wanted and made my dress look stunning!

    She is a true artist and was amazing to work with!

    knowledgeable, professional, kind hearted

    Heather is amazing at what she does! I enjoyed every minute working with her on my dress. She is so kind, professional, calm and responsive. I was worried about my alternations but I knew as soon as I left my dress was in good hands. I didn’t even have to worry about anything Heather knew right away what areas needed to be worked on and she created the most perfect and beautiful double French bustle. I cannot wait to wear the dress and highly recommend Heather for your wedding dress alternations, she is so knowledgeable and does amazing work!

    A dream to work with!

    The dress alterations were something in the wedding process that I was the most nervous for because my dress was so intricate with lots of beading and appliqués, and the fact that the store recommended I buy a size that ended up being way to large so the dress needed to be taken in a bit. However, as soon as my first appointment and finished, I was completely at ease and knew that I had 100% made the right pick with Heather. She was so professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She knew exactly what she was doing and supported me personally and professionally along they way, especially during Covid. She as an absolute dream to work with and was always willing to go above and beyond to make sure my dress was perfect. I even moved 5 hours away during the wedding process but Heather was not a vendor I was willing to give up and the trip to see her every two months was completely worth it! She made my dress fit like a glove and I felt so comfortable, beautiful, and happy in it. I cannot recommend her enough!

She worked with me through the chaos of wedding planning during covid. Changing appointments, keeping my dress at her house, and providing encouragement and support when I needed it most. I was so impressed with her organization. She clearly explained everything to expect with the alteration process. My dress couldn’t have been more perfect! The bustle was outstanding. I received so many compliments! Heather, you were a joy to work with! Thank you for everything!

    Amazing attention to detail, professional, and very fun to work with!

    Heather was amazing to work with! She had fabulous work ethic and got my dress done in only 4 sessions! She had to hem my dress, bring the bodice in, add a belt, and also add 19 bustles - she totally rocked it! She is worth every penny, and I would recommend Heather to anyone that needs dress alterations!

    There is a reason Heather has so many 5-star reviews, because she is awesome! As a plus size bride it was hard to find a dress I liked, and with Heather's hard work, I have a dress that I LOVE so much and feel SO confident in! I have a lace dress and I was very nervous about how it would look with hemming, but with Heather's skills it's like the dress was custom for me! I an so so thankful!!!

    Heather is amazing!

    Heather was great! Our wedding was originally planned for August 2020, we rescheduled to April 2021. I set up 4 appointments before the August 2020 date, Heather was extremely accommodating to reschedule all 4 appointments closer to our April 2021 date. I bought my dress off the rack, and it needed to be taken in a few sizes. Heather did a great job and my dress fit perfectly! All 4 appointments that I had were extremely quick. Highly recommend Heather!

    I had a great experience working with Heather on altering my wedding dress. Heather is extremely skilled at what she does and runs her business in a very professional manner. I felt extremely assured that my dress was in safe hands. Heather did an excellent job of explaining to me how I would need to handle my dress with it being made out of delicate material. My dress turned out amazing and it fits perfectly. I would highly recommend Custom Sewing by Heather to any bride who appreciates quality work.

    Beyond Amazing - 1000 stars!

    I cannot even begin to explain how amazing my experience with Heather was. She is so quick to respond, so easy to work with, will work around basically any schedule even though she's extremely busy, but does whatever it takes to get it done! I started with her before covid, and when covid forced us to reschedule our wedding, she rolled right with the punches along side us. She was able to keep my dress stored with her the entire time, and even added extra fittings closer to our new date to ensure everything that needed to be done was done to perfection. I am SO. EXCITED. to get to wear my dress and will recommend everyone I know to go to Heather for their dress! She is absolutely so amazing, I can't say enough good things about her and my experience!

    She knows her stuff!

    Heather was kind enough to fit me into her already packed schedule during a time of rescheduled 2020 and 2021 weddings piling up. She was great about listening to what alterations I was envisioning for my dress while also offering her incredible expertise. I loved her recommendation for a different take on a bustle since I was looking for a simple way to carry my train as needed. She immediately gave me confidence to know I could trust her expertise. I would recommend Heather’s talent and service in a heartbeat! (photos by Anne Noel Photography)

    Pick Heather she is FANTASTIC!

    Heather is absolutely amazing! She had recommended a different bustle than the wedding shop I purchased my dress from and it was WAY BETTER! It fit the style of my dress so much better and she showed my MOH how to bustle it the day of the wedding. Her work is flawless and she is highly responsive. If you are looking for a wedding dress seamstress in the greater Twin Cities area, hands down go to the Heather you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

    Wedding Day Delay - Perfect Fit!

    Our wedding date was originally April 23, 2020, but postponed to October 22, 2020. We were scrambling to, more or less, replan our whole wedding for 6 months later. The stress was unreal and having to reschedule was very emotional. Heather didn't sweat it! She finished my dress alterations as planned and extended my appointments in order to allow for my maid of honor to learn how to bustle my dress near our October wedding date. She was wonderful to work with as she understands the wedding stresses and emotions that a bride is going through. She always has a smile on her face and will let you know if there are alternations that are needed that you haven't thought about. She is an expert at fitting and it shows in our photographs. Thank you, Heather, for helping me through to our wedding day! My dress was perfect!

    Classy & Precise

    Heather was able to work me in to a tight timeline while making accommodations with a challenging schedule. She was efficient and precise - the dress fit like a glove! I'd highly recommend her!

    Amazing, Talented, Patient

    Heather was so incredible to work with! I got married on Halloween, and wanted black lace added to my wedding dress. She told me she was capable of doing anything, BUT to keep an open mind! In the several appointments I had, she always had a welcoming smile on her face! She was also very honest and straight forward when deciding where to place the lace(which I really appreciated!). I am so thankful for all the time and love she put into my dress! It turned out so beautiful and unique! Thank you again Heather!

    Stellar in every way

    Heather is marvelous to work with! She is organized, incredibly knowledgeable from her years of experience, and sincerely wants to do what she can to make your dress perfect for you. For me, she added a stunning bustle and reworked the front of my dress to be better than I even pictured :) I would recommend her to any and everyone!

    Best Choice Ever Made

    When it came to my dress, I was worried about the alterations as the dress was no longer made by the designer and had been tried on many times in the past. There was so much work to be done with it. But when I met Heather for the first time, I knew my dress was in excellent hands. She took her time with every bead, bustle and stitch, and she worked well with me during COVID. Heather also took the time to work on a heirloom garter and my veil that ended up having a rip in it. She fixed it to wear you couldn't even tell there was any rip at all! Heather was almost a 3 hour drive for me. But she was definitely worth the drive. My dress was super important to me so I didn't just want any ordinary seamstress working on it. I wanted Heather. Someone who takes their time and not only knows the bride, but also knows the dress. The atmosphere of her shop is beautiful and makes every bride feel like a princess. Every time I went to a fitting and put on my dress, it reminded me of why I picked the dress in the first place. Heather has a magical touch to every fix she does. She is amazing, patient and kind and knows how to calm down a bride when a difficult matter approaches. I recommend Heather to all brides who want their dress to not only be "The Dress" but the dress with magic sewn in.

    The best!

    Heather is the best! She has done both my sisters wedding dresses and most recently mine! She was able to add fabric on my neck line and place beading over so it looked like a part of my dress. Her attention to detail is unbelievable. Thank you so much Heather for all your hard work!
