I was a terrible bride and bought a dress WAY too small because I'm an idiot and I thought it might be a lost cause but the ladies at The Perfect Stitch made it happen! My dress was beautiful!! They were so accommodating and reassuring. Seriously could not be happier with the results. Thank you so much! -
User2511937 Sent on 01/20/2016The ladies at the Perfect Stitch were fantastic in remaking my grandma's dress. From the moment I walked in I felt right at home. It was so nice not to worry at all about my dress through all the wedding planning. They had it all under control and each visit was a fun surprise of what new things they had done to clean up and make this dress my own. So thankful for their kind and excellent service!! -
User2167490 Sent on 06/07/2015She was SUPER easy to work with. I bought my dress online from a different venue and they were able to alter it perfectly! Start ASAP, as if you wait for the last minute it could be more expenssive. Very reasonable prices! Jon VERY well done! She suggested a new zipper, so it wouldn't break the day of the wedding. So thoughtful, never pushes, and work is done on time as promised!! -

Hannah Sent on 12/05/2012Choosing someone to alter your wedding dress can be so nerve racking. The fear that someone could ruin the most important piece of clothing you will ever wear weighed heavily on my mind. As soon as I met Melissa, all my fear subsided. She made me feel so relaxed and confident in her ability to make my dress fit me perfectly. And she delivered. In addition to doing a fabulous job on my dress, she sent personalized cards that made me feel very special. Not many businesses have a personal touch like that and it meant a lot. I highly recommend The Perfect Stitch! -

Kelly Sent on 10/06/2011I found The Perfect Stitch here on weddingwire. I came in later than recommended to get alterations thinking I needed one simple thing done to my dress. Well I hadn't tried my dress on in a year so I needed more than I thought. However, they never pressured me into any alterations. Suggestions were made and I agreed. The place is very quaint and welcoming. They altered my dress on time and it looked awesome. At my final fitting we "played" around in my dress taking lots of fun pictures. It was a good time. I will take my dress back for cleaning and preservation. -

Tahaira Sent on 05/24/2011I really did love working with The Perfect Stitch. They were extremely nice and very detail and they very hard. I thought they were a bit pricey for some of the services I wanted but I could have done WAY worse. They do really really good work and I hope that I can find a reason to work with them in the future! -

Cassandra Sent on 05/04/2011Pros: I was very impressed with the Perfect Stitch. The shop itself was so comforting and welcoming. The ladies, Melissa and Susan, were wonderful. They were funny and pleasant---made this part of the process a lot easier for me. As for the prices, I had never had anything altered before and before I found them, I compared prices with others and was very happy with what I paid for what I got. She built in an undergarment so I wouldn’t have so many layers. She added the bustle, some extra for my girls, pressed the veil and dress for a reasonable price. I don’t want to list what I paid mainly because every dress is different so it might not be what I paid. I was in when another bride was finishing up. Melissa was helping the bride recreate her grandmother’s and mother’s dress to be her own. All three women were there and it looked wonderful.
Cons: Like Sweet Tooth (baker), I really don’t have any cons. They were down to earth, affordable, quirky---everything I appreciated for one of the most stressful times and that’s making the dress was beautiful.

Val Sent on 11/24/2010I brought my bought somewhere else wedding dress to this seamstress.
The women at this place are great. They are so friendly and helpful. I had bought a designer dress in a size 12 off the rack (because it was A LOT cheaper) I'm a size 3 in dresses. I took my wedding dress to the Perfect stitch and they did a great job sizing down my dress. I had many layers and a ton of bead work, so it wouldn't have been an easy task.
Since the dress had been tried on by many brides they also cleaned the dress and added criddlen and a bra to the dress. Having to wear less layers is cooler and breezer than having to wear more layers under a large dress.
All I would say would be to call and confirm your schedule time. We did have a mix up twice with the time I was to be there for fittings. I can't say that it was their fault, I could have been wrong. But I had put the times in my phone as I book my next appointments in person. But who knows
I live in Georgia and had the wedding here, but bought my dress in Indiana, I'll even send my dress back to Indiana to be cleaned by them because I know their work is good and I trust them. -

Savannah Sent on 08/23/2011My alterations were very well done by the Perfect Stitch. Mine were more costly due to the fabric of my dress, but they turned out beautifully. I did have to travel for several fittings that I wish could have been condensed, but the end product was worth it. -
User1060684 Sent on 01/06/2013The Perfect Stitch altered my wedding dress in 2012. They were easy to make appointments with and prompt, but I did feel that additional alterations when I only wanted one simple alteration were pushed on me. It seemed to me that the owner didn't mind taking advantage of pre-wedding insecurities that my dress was tight when it was not, telling me that I needed cup implants that did nothing to improve the look of the dress, etc. I let myself be pushed into alterations that I think in the end hurt the look of the dress. The simple alteration that I wanted came out well, but there seemed to be some communication issues, possibly, about extraneous changes.

User2108181 Sent on 04/25/2015Let me first say that I never write reviews for any reason, be it good or bad. I'm more of an onlooker, absorbing what I can. I went to The Perfect Stitch last year in preparation for my summer 2014 wedding. I came in with a $5,000 Kleinfeld bridal dress that was much to large. Was the alteration done? Yes. Was it done on time? Yes. Was it done effectively? No. On the DAY OF my wedding, my bridesmaids were buttoning up the back of my dress when SEVERAL buttons fell to the floor. My bridesmaids withheld this information from me until later in the day, as not to upset me. It seemed that all 30+ buttons were sewn back on using the SAME thread. Therefore, when one started popping off, they all started popping off! To make matters worse, my bustle broke immediately following the ceremony. Mind you, this was an OUTDOOR wedding. Needless to say, my dress was covered in grass stains. Was that to be expected? Yes, but only minimally, because AGAIN, the bustle was supposed to do its job of keeping my train from DRAGGING. The quality of the final alterations was not up to par, nor is it a service I would recommend. Poor quality, lazy seamstress.

User2459305 Sent on 12/08/2015It is very difficult for me to comment negatively, but I would never want a bride to endure the extreme difficulties I experienced with the Perfect Stitch. While I think every person deserves the benefit of the doubt, I have sad and hurtful memories as I did not feel beautiful liked I had always dreamed of on my wedding day. I came to Melissa to have my mother's dress from 1985 be redesigned for my wedding day. This was very important to my mother and I wanted to share that experience with her, while still feeling the my absolute best on my day. In short, Melissa was very argumentative, never met deadlines, and ultimately could not deliver hat she had promised. I did not see my dress completed in its entirety until 3 days before my wedding and I had it to her 10 months prior. We had to make at least 6 trips to the shop, which is adorable, but I dreaded it because each time I left more and more upset. I cannot express enough how sad it makes me to think that the one day every bride should get to feel like the most beautiful girl in the world...I did not. I do not write this to be cruel, I just never would want a bride who dreams of all the details her entire life, to not be able to have that on her special day.
