Tanya Sent on 06/06/2023Incredible
If I could give 10000 stars, she would get 50000! When I started the alterations, I was 212 pounds and a size 16. She altered the dress to fit my body, and then re-altered the dress months later when I lost 46 pounds. During my last fitting, I got overwhelmed and almost passed out. She sat with me, encouraged me, and made sure I was ok without ever making me feel like I was messing up her schedule. Not only did she alter my dress, but she made me feel BEAUTIFUL both inside and out. If she altered clothing besides wedding dresses, I would buy my clothes too big just so I could hangout with her! ❤️ -

The Guilded Thimble is incredible… we have had the pleasure of working with her twice - once for my Spinsters dress (which was actually my grandmothers dress from the 1960’s) and again for my wedding dress!!
Everyone knows that finally finding “the dress” is such a relief and then quickly turns into “protective panic” when you go to alterations… not with Carissa… to start off, you are welcomed into a calm and adorable workspace and starts your appointment to walk through everything YOU would like altered! She listens to your desires with an open mind and asks helpful questions to get the full picture. By the end of your first appointment you already feel comforted knowing you picked the right person. You can truly see her love for wedding dresses, their construction and their designs - you can instantly tell that she is going to put undivided attention to your dress and not only take care of it but also take care of your vision! Coming in for our second appointment, she had substantial alterations done and just this huge smile ready to share them with us! I am not a hugely emotional person when it comes to surprises, but I wanted to cry (happy tears) when I put the dress back on! What started off as a vision in my head, and jumbled words trying to explain it to her, was now a reality! For my dress personally she reconstructed the “flow” of the top which to some seems like a minor visual change - but made the world of difference to me!
The entire process with Carissa feels like you’re walking in to hang out with an old friend… she is a very warm, inviting and loving person. And her confidence and experience in her craft truly speaks for itself - we were overjoyed for the chance to work with her again and made one of the hardest “to-do’s” the easiest to check off! I am so thankful she squeezed us in… and I am so thankful for everything she has done for us! -

I was referred to The Guilded Thimble by Church Street Bridal and I couldnt be happier with the work Carissa did. She truly cares about her clients and her passion shows through her work. My dress was perfect. She assured me everything would be just right for the big day and she was absolutely right. I felt so comfortable in ny dress all day and it truly felt like it was made for me. Carissa's shop is beautiful and very welcoming and I loved being there every time! -

I got my wedding dress altered at the Guilded Thimble and Carissa turned my dress into my dream wedding dress! She did such an excellent job tailoring it to the way that I wanted. She listened to me and worked with me and altered it to perfection! She gave me curves that I never knew I had! Do not hesitate to go to Carissa. She knows what she is doing! I learned about her because my sister and all of her friends go to her! No regrets whatsoever! I am 100% satisfied with her work! She truly has a talent and a gift! Thank you so much again Carissa!! So, so, so HAPPY with my dress!
Best,

Carissa is truly an alterations magician. It was absolutely amazing to see my dress go from just a dress to a dress that perfectly fit me. She took her time, listened to my thoughts, and then crafted my dress to perfection. She is SO talented and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. -

Choose Carissa!
Carissa is wonderful!! I had been looking for someone I could trust with my wedding dress and after reading multiple positive reviews, I chose the Gilded Thimble and she most definitely came through! She is very well organized and SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. Appointments are quick because she knows what needs to be done as soon as she sees the dress. Her prices and turn around times are more than reasonable, her shop is super cute and clean, and I truly could not be more happy with my choice! -

I had the best experience with Carissa. She was so sweet, kind and always made me feel heard. I didn't need too much done, but my wedding dress fit great especially in my bust area, since I didn't wear a bra. The "girls" stayed in place the whole day. I highly, highly recommend her, and the pricing for all she did was great. Also she has a giant stuffed Llama in her dressing area, so that won me over too. 10/10 -

Carissa is truly a wedding dress alteration prodigy. She looked at the dress, knew exactly how to adjust it to make it flatter my body, and did a fabulous job. She communicates clearly, fairly and her price point is unbeatable for the service you get. I got my dress altered in the midst of Covid-19 and she ensured the entire process was clean, stress free and the dress is absolutely perfect. I can't thank her enough for her wonderful work and help through these times. -

My dress had a lot of work that needed to be done. Thanks to Carissa, I truly had no fear that it wouldn't turn out perfectly. I LOVED my dress and Carissa was able to take my Pnina and make it custom. Honestly, she was able to enhance the style to be perfection. She went above and beyond to really make sure it flattered my body in every way possible. She was able to fix things that I did not think about due to her expertise. She is very kind and honest during such a stressful time.
My dress had so much detail and required so much work but she did it perfectly and affordably!
Would highly recommend her and will be suggesting her to anyone who needs to perfect their dream dress!
