Joann was described to me as the fairy godmother of alternations by the bridal shop that I purchased my wedding dress. Needless to say, I promptly connected with Joann to schedule an appointment for my alterations.
Joann was truly a pleasure to work with. One of the things that sticks out to me about working with Joann is her sincere desire to ensure that my wedding dress was perfect. I was extremely pleased with the results at my final fitting. The hem was difficult but she nailed it! My photographer even mentioned how well my bustle was done.
Joann was prepared for every appointment, she was friendly, kind, and enjoyable to work with! I would highly recommend Joann! -

So happy we found Joann!
I can’t speak highly enough about Joann. She was recommended to me after purchasing my wedding dress at Vowd. Her professionalism, kindness, and talent exceeded my expectations as a client of hers! We added some details to my dress she had admitted to me she hadn’t done before. However, she knocked these additions out of the park, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her and her services. Get on her books as soon as possible as she is a busy lady, for good reason! -

Joann is a true joy, working patiently and flexibly with us through multiple covid-related postponements. My dress ended up requiring a lot of work to fit my body, but due to Joann's clever problem solving and immense skill, my dress looked phenomenal on my wedding day. Most tailors would say that it was too big of a job to undertake, but Joann tackled it with grace, determination, and kindness. I looked and felt beautiful, strong, and confident on my wedding day. She is quickly becoming the most in demand wedding tailor in the area - so make sure you get on her books soon!! -

I will forever be extremely grateful for Ms. Joann because she made my wedding dress one of the most perfect and special parts of my entire wedding! Joann was able to take my mother's retro wedding dress from 1990, complete with enormous sleeves, tassels, and bows, and made it into a beautiful, modern silhouette! She is so talented and knowledgeable about wedding gowns and I truly don't think I could've taken my dress to anyone else and made it look as good as it did! She took the dress apart completely and was able to design a whole new dress from the fabric! We kept the original skirt and train, but dropped the waistline using the extra fabric from the original huge sleeves, for a more A-line silhouette. She completely redesigned the back of the dress using only the original lace and mesh. She was able to troubleshoot issues with the skirt laying correctly and made an easy-to-figure-out bustle that was perfect for the design! I looked forward to every alterations appointment I had with sweet Joann and I'm so grateful for her amazing work on my gown. -

Joann is amazing
I was slightly high-maintenance in that my dress needed lots of alterations AND I had purchased yards of tulle to have a skirt custom-made to wear over my dress for the ceremony and take off for the reception. JoAnn was a magician - the dress and the skirt were more than I could ever have dreamed of! She is so kind, makes you feel so at home, and really understands how to make your dress perfect for you! -

Ahhhh-mazing!
I put Ms.Joann through the ringer with my wedding dress. Unfortunately my dress arrived almost 3 weeks late and Ms. Joann only had 2 weeks to make my dress perfect! She was supposed to be taking things easy and relaxing a little but she agreed to continue working with me and I am so grateful because I’m not sure anyone else could have completed the intricate work in time! She didn’t cut any corners or make me feel bad about the delayed dress instead she made me feel confident and listened to what made me feel beautiful. Multiple times during my visits she would pause to ask “how do you feel” and she genuinely cared about my answer. I was so appreciative to be heard when I told her what was feeling right and what wasn’t. Without Joann’s beautiful work I couldn’t have felt as stunning as I did on my wedding day. -

Joann is an absolute expert in wedding dress couture
Joann made my wedding dress fit like a glove. The bustles are also nicely placed. I feel the dress look gorgeous on me and very comfortable. -

Joann was great!
Joann did a wonderful job with my wedding dress. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, a very sweet lady. My dress was a little tricky to bustle so she did a custom design that turned out beautifully :) -

Joann is amazing
Joann altered not only my wedding gown, but also my mom's dress and my sister's maid of honor dress, which she pieced together from two separate dresses expertly! We refer to her as our fairy godmother because 'bippity-bobbity-boo' and your dress is perfect! Aside from her expertise, she is also the warmest person I've ever met in my life! You cannot go wrong, she is very detailed and VERY talented! You can tell she takes pride in her work! -

Joann is a miracle worker!!!!!!!!!!
My dress was ordered too small and Joann did not give up until that dress fit me like a glove. She will get it right and spends hours with her brides making sure they feel comfortable, beautiful, and like the most amazing bride in the world!!! I seriously could not have had a better day experience!!! You are the best Joann!!!!! -

Sarah Sent on 02/25/2019Perfect Fit
Joann is warm and kind, and she has YEARS of experience. I wanted sleeves sewn onto my wedding gown and there was quite a bit of raking in the gown, in addition to a bustle and a hem. She walked me through several iterations of the aforementioned sleeves and we worked together to find the perfect solution. She is so ridiculously talented. My gown was far too big and she took it in multiple times until I was happy with the fit. Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s amazing. -

I LOVE Ms. JoAnn!! I live in a small town and was concerned about finding someone I’d trust with the alterations of my wedding dress. My dress is backless with only a small illusion sleeve that has intricate beading/stones all over the gown. Ms. JoAnn was able to alter the sleeves to give me the support I needed, manage he hemline and the massive amounts of tulle that made up my train. It fit perfectly and was so beautiful! Ms. JoAnn is a pleasure to work with, I thoroughly enjoyed my visits with her. She gives honest advice, which I love. So you know you can trust her. When you get a compliment from Ms. JoAnn, she means it!! Just a bit of advice, her work takes time, so book her early. You can’t rush perfection! -

Don't think twice! Book Joann James Couture NOW!
I was SO nervous to book a vendor for bridal alterations and Ms. Joann made all my nerves melt away when I first met her. I have never met anyone who is so knowledgeable and passionate about their craft as Ms. Joann is. She is truly an expert in this field and I seriously don't know how I got so lucky to cross paths with her! My Maggie Sottero gown was made for someone who is 5'11'' (I'm 5'1'') and I have a larger chest than most and Joann literally made my dress look like it was custom made for me with how well it fit. She was so accommodating with my difficult work schedule and helped me fit 4 alteration appointments in (I needed a lot of hem work with how short I am haha). Ms. Joann literally made my dress dreams come true and my family and I really bonded with her because of how amazing of a person she is, which is just the cherry on top! We love Ms. Joann and you will too! I cannot recommend her enough to you!!! -

Nicole Sent on 12/20/2018Joann is exceptional!
I am so glad I chose Joann to alter my wedding dress, her work is fantastic!! Joann is a very special and kind woman. Every time me and my mom had an appointment she was so wonderful to us. She is very attention to detail and made sure my dress was perfect from top to bottom. I am not exaggerating, she perfected my dress to fit my silhouette exactly. It could not have fit me better on my wedding day!! It’s very hard to find people these days who truly care for the work they do, and Joann most certainly does. She has so much talent and years of experience in the wedding industry. I was actually sad during my last appointment because I knew that was our last visit with Joann. All in all, I highly recommend Joann!! -

A Master of her Craft!
I was referred to Joann by Maggi Bridal where I bought my Justin Alexander dress. Before my first appointment I was very anxious. I’m a self conscious person who is still working on accepting my body shape and was worried I’d be faced with a hyper-critical seamstress. However, within minutes of meeting Joann, all of those concerns disappeared! She is very down to earth and personable, and made me feel so comfortable each visit. Joann is also flexible and accommodating to schedules. Due to my work, I was only available to come in on weekends, which was no problem for Joann. Additionally, she was willing to reschedule without hesitation when I had a family emergency. More importantly, the quality of her work is phenomenal! My gown required some cup inserts, taking in on the sides, length alterations, and a bustle. The number of compliments I received and continue to receive via social media is a testament to the quality of Joann’s work!
