Sarah D. Sent on 04/09/2024Amazing Craftsmanship! Excellent with beadwork
Susan helped me on short notice with alterations to my wedding gown and two other bridal outfits for my wedding weekend. My gown had intricate beading and embroidery and Susan did a phenomenal job shortening the waist and hemming the bottom so that it fit me like a glove. She matched the pattern and detailing perfectly! She also helped tailor a lace blouse, trousers, and a tulle skirt. Susan was incredibly easy to work with, very reasonably priced, and her craftsmanship is out of this world! I especially appreciated her attention to detail and level of experience with beadwork. -

Susan turned a dress I thought might be the one into the dress of my DREAMS! Despite knowing with certainty that I wanted a long sleeved wedding gown, I ended up purchasing a sleeveless dress. I was nervous, but at the recommendation of Margaux of Wildflower Bridal I reached out to Susan armed with extra lace and fabric that was ordered from my dress manufacturer.
At my first appointment Susan took detailed notes on what sort of sleeves I was hoping for - a cuffed bishop sleeve that wasn't too poofy- and executed it beautifully. She also pinned the hem, straps, and two separate bustle designs so they could be altered to the perfect length, fit, and look.
We spent my second appointment pinning lace in various positions on one of the sleeves she had created until I was perfectly happy with it. She took that sleeve we created together and used it to create the second sleeve. Susan was incredibly knowledgeable about the material and took time to show me the direction in which it would and wouldn't stretch and how it would behave if more or less lace were added.
At my last appointment I tried on my completed dress (and veil which she made for me from the additional fabric left over from creating my sleeves) and I was over the moon! It came out far better than I imagined it ever could. The sleeves truly looked as though they had always been a part of the dress and I received SO many similar comments from guests on my wedding day when I told them that they had been added.
Not only did all the alterations she made to my dress fit me perfectly, they were comfortable. I was able to lift my arms high over my head and dance the night away in my dress without any issue. I'm so grateful for Susan - her kindness, expertise, and willingness to accomodate all my requests for tweaks here and there. She is a true professional and I would trust her with absolutely any kind of alterations or custom design job. Thank you, Susan!

Susan did a wonderful job on my wedding dress alterations! She made me feel very comfortable during the process. She was very responsive via email to set up appointment times and made sure to have my dress ready several weeks before my wedding date! Thanks, Susan! -

Susan is the Best!
I had the best experience with Susan! She altered my wedding dress. My wedding dress came in earlier than expected and I called Susan last minute to see if she could fit me in and she was able to, no problem! She listened to what I wanted and made suggestions/ recommendations. When I went back to pick up my dress/try it on again the alterations were perfect!! It was exactly what I wanted! She is meticulous, precise, passionate, patient, personable, and very knowledgeable! If you’re looking for someone to alter your wedding dress, you can definitely trust Susan! -

Susan is the best!
I wouldn’t have trusted my mother’s dress to anyone other than Susan, she overdelivered and saw my vision from the very beginning. The final product was even better than I imagined, and it was by far my most favorite detail of the day. Susan is so gifted!Susan Stowell Bridal Couture Services's reply:
Eden, thanks so much for your wonderful review! One of my favorite things to do is to redesign and customize a beloved gown that has been passed down. You look stunning in your photos! -

Susan is a wonderful designer. I purchased a dress online, and she helped tailor it to fit me, and make it look as good as I wanted it to. Some of the proportions were off when it arrived, and she made me look great in my dress. She was sensitive to my needs. After being on my feet for awhile, she noticed a change in me and she asked if I was light headed. I said yes. She helped me sit down, got me water to drink and a cool washcloth for my neck and I felt better immediately. She explained how it can happen and was kind, gracious and personable. I plan on having her make (no more online for me) all of my special event attire from now on. We already have another special wardrobe piece in process. I love Susan and highly recommend her!Susan Stowell Bridal Couture Services's reply:
Lillian, I loved working on your gown and fitting it according to your needs and desires. You truly looked majestic and blessed on your special day! -

Susan was recommended to me by MeadowBrooke Bridal where I purchased my wedding gown and I am so happy I was able to get in with her! My dress needed to be taken in quite a bit all over and Susan did an amazing job tailoring the dress to fit my petite body and make me feel so confident and beautiful! Her services were very quick, professional, and you can feel how much Susan cares about all the details and especially making sure you feel comfortable! She took great care in fitting my gown and I couldn't be more grateful!Susan Stowell Bridal Couture Services's reply:
Jessie, thanks for taking the time to write a review! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your mom. It was an honor to do the work on your gown so that you felt confident and beautiful for your special day! -

Katie P. Sent on 05/13/2022A master of her craft.
My wedding dress needed a LOT of work to turn it into the dress of my dreams. I ended up having to purchase a floor model, which was four sizes too big and torn in several places, as it was the only one left and the manufacturer no longer made that particular dress. The dress was all lace, and in a pretty uncommon pattern, which presented more than a few obstacles. Susan not only took it in four sizes, she totally transformed it into the dress that existed in my mind...only better, which included adding a collar and opening / redesigning the back entirely. The end result was absolutely stunning and even surpassed what I had envisioned thanks to all the tiny special details including a slew of silk buttons that she repurposed down the back. Susan is a total pro and a true artist. Further, she was a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for a miracle worker, couture designer, or even just top quality results, definitely go with Susan. -

Perfection!
Susan was an absolute pleasure to work with! I am a petite bride and needed around 6 inches of length taken off my dress along with the straps taken in and she made my dress fit to perfection. You would never even know it was altered when she finished! Not to mention the bustle she did completed the dress! I HIGHLY recommend using Susan for your wedding dress alterations!Susan Stowell Bridal Couture Services's reply:
Penny Lane, I loved working with you and on your gown to make it perfect for your wedding. Thanks so much for the photos, you and your husband look so happy and are truly blessed! -

Lauren Sent on 03/29/2022Saved the Day!
Susan was such a delight to work with and she absolutely saved the day with my dress alterations! We originally planned our wedding for April of 2022 but last minute moved it to July of 2021 which meant my dress only arrived with a week to spare. She turned it around in 3 days for me so that I wouldn’t have to stress and it was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great fit with a seamstress who really cares!Susan Stowell Bridal Couture Services's reply:
Lauren, thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review! It was absolutely my pleasure to work on your gown and finish it with time to spare for your wedding.
You and your groom look amazing! -
