    Great experience

    I moved to Asheville in January and thought I was going to have to scramble to find someone to alter my dress for my wedding in May. Sugarcane Studios was the first vendor I called, and I'm so glad I did, because they were able to accommodate my schedule and did a fantastic job with alterations. Emily and Tara were both very professional during my appointments with them and they were always upfront about pricing which I appreciated. I also liked that we had 3 appointments so that some minor tweaks could be made after the initial alterations. I could not have been happier with the final result!

    Wedding dress fitting

    I had a wedding dress fitting and alteration here and the ladies working were wonderful! They were fast, professional, sweet and I felt like they really cared about me. They let me walk around after my fitting to make sure the dress was perfect. They did pressure me into buying anything. And their prices were reasonable. I am so happy I went there!

    Great service

    I wasn’t sure if my dress was going to work because it was way too big, but Tara and her team worked their magic. My dress is beautiful and fits like a glove!

    Excellent Wedding Gown Alterations!

    Tara and her team at Sugarcane Studios did an absolutely amazing job altering my wedding gown! My dress was a ballgown will intricate lace and multiple layers. The skirt of my dress needed to be hemmed, the shoulder straps needed to be shortened, the bust needed to be taken in, and we needed to add a bustle. Tara and her team took care of everything perfectly, and I received so many compliments on my beautiful gown on my wedding day! My guests and I loved visiting the studio for my fittings, and Tara was very detail-oriented, making sure everything fit just right. She took the time to teach us how to bustle the dress and recommended that we take a video (which ended up being super helpful for the day of the wedding!). Scheduling was super easy, and they were even able to accommodate a last minute switch in appointment times for one fitting due to inclement weather.

    Incredible!

    Tara is truly incredible at what she does! I got my wedding dress altered with her and not only is she so talented and skilled but is also friendly, professional, and organized. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you Tara!

    Better than I could have hoped!

    Tara and her team created the perfect custom-made wedding dress for me. When I first got engaged 4 years ago, my mom and I picked out a wedding dress together. It was simple but meaningful, so when I decided I wanted something a little more exciting for my wedding, Tara helped me transform the dress my mom and I picked out into the dress of my dreams. She totally designed and created the dress but used the fabric from the original, as well as other beautiful fabrics we picked out together. The whole process was exciting and personalized. I loved seeing my dress come into being, and received SO MANY compliments when I finally got to wear it! Tara was super accommodating and really listened and tried to turn my ideas into reality. The dress is beautiful, unique and more than I hoped for. I would definitely recommend Sugarcane to anyone looking to make their wedding day (or any day) special.

    Best decision everrrr

    I chose to have my wedding dress made because I don’t have the most average/common body shape. I’m what you may call midsize, with some junk in the trunk. I grew up in South Florida with girls who had nose jobs for their 16th birthday, where perfection and beauty was above all else. All this to say it left me with a very damaged view of myself. I didn’t want to have to pour myself into a dress that had a size on it, forcing my body into a dress that didn’t fit me perfectly. For those of us who have lived with an eating disorder or body dysmorphia, wedding dress shopping can be a massively anxiety riddled experience.
    Tara and her team not only made me feel good about myself, but excited to see myself in the mirror. My dress fits me absolutely perfectly and is everything that I wanted it to be. Tara made it come to life from an idea, and made me feel like a queen.
    Support small businesses, and do something nice for yourself. Have your dress made to fit you, don’t make yourself fit into your dress.

    Tara and her team are THE BEST!

    I cannot recommend Sugarcane enough! I brought my wedding dress here to be altered and the work was second to none. Tara and her team had to alter the shoulders, back, hem and bust - on each of these removing and moving around appliques and lace and the work was so well done that you can't tell that anything had been done. My dress fit perfectly and I was so comfortable and confident in it, which made my wedding day that much more fun. Not only is their work the best, but everyone who works there is just lovely - so nice, funny, and knowledgeable - that going in for fittings was a lot of fun within itself.

    All around fantastic!

    Tara and her team were amazing! They offered advice when I needed it, had exception attention to detail with each alteration, and really spent the time to listen to me to hear what I was envisioning. They found the best bustle for the dress and made the transition from train to bustle look beautiful. Highly recommend working with them!!

    80s Wedding Gown Makeover

    I was under the wire to find a wedding dress for my small, intimate wedding. A friend of mine who had gotten married in 1983 offered to give me her gown and said I could alter it in anyway that I liked. The gown had beautiful neckline and sleeves details but the rest of it needed a complete overhaul… Not to mention, but it did not even zip on me.

    Tara and her team made that gown perfect! The fit is incredible- the styling is spot on 2021 and they even soaked and brightened the dress to get it back to its original glory.

    It’s going to be hard not to use them for everything now!!

    Excellent service

    Sugarcane studios was extremely flexible with scheduling. For my final fitting I had to reschedule my appointment last minute and they came in an hour early to help me with no problem. They were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and talented! I honestly wish I had found them sooner!!

    Can't recommend enough!

    I would recommend Sugarcane to anyone and everyone that needs alterations. Not only did I use them to alter my wedding dress, but my mother also used them to alter her dress for the wedding.
    The team was so accommodating and wonderful, I could not have asked for a better experience. You spend so much money on a wedding dress, and if you are going to entrust someone with altering it to fit you on your wedding day, it should be them!

    I cannot explain how much I love the work sugarcane did on my wedding dress. Even through the shut downs, mandates, and my overall indecisiveness she was patient and accommodating.

    Amazing Job!

    Tara was such a huge help! I purchased my dress and then my wedding was postponed due to Covid-19 so by the time we had rescheduled my wedding I didn't like my dress anymore but couldn't afford to get a different one. I looked up dresses similar to mine to get ideas on how I could change it to love it again and Tara did a great job bringing my ideas to life!!! Timing was great and it was done in a reasonable amount of time!

    I truly cannot thank Tara and her amazing team at Sugarcane Studios enough! They helped me to fall in love with my wedding dress! Without their assistance and patience in helping me achieve my wedding dress dreams, my day would not have been the same. I strongly recommend Sugarcane Studios to anyone needing wedding day alterations!

    Asheville Brides!

    I had originally purchased my dress from Michigan, and was struggling to find a seamstress in the Asheville area that I almost considered driving to Charlotte or Greenville for alterations. Well I’m glad I looked on wedding wire, because Sugar Cane Studios came up! Tara is a fairy godmother. I expressed my concerns about the alterations taking away the design of the dress, I got it back and you couldn’t tell the difference! I could say more but, if you are an Asheville bride and need alterations, get them done at Sugar Cane! And I’m a very critical person. I will be coming to Tara for all my future alterations!

    Wonderful wedding dress experience!

    I had a wonderful experience at Sugarcane Studios. Tara did an amazing job taking pieces from a vintage family wedding dress to create a new wedding dress. She had so many great suggestions for alterations to get the exact look I wanted for my dress. I couldn't be happier!
