Amanda Catherine Custom Designs

Amanda was incredible! She did a fantastic job adding custom sleeves to my strapless wedding gown. She also altered my heirloom veil that I was super protective over because it was my MIL and did it to perfection! She had to hem my dress which was not a tradition hemline and did it perfectly as well. She payed great attention to what I wanted and broke the process down for me so I felt calm the entire time. Her prices were super reasonable and she was extremely transparent at every step. I highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed.

Amanda was incredible! She made flawless alterations for my strapless dress that ended up fitting like a glove -- did not have to adjust the dress all night! She went out of her way to make sure the dress fit when I had a bit of change in my weight close to the wedding, and she ended up adding an extra strap to keep the dress tight yet still feel comfortable! I would highly recommend Amanda for your wedding (or any dress) alterations!!

Amanda was incredible to work with! She was honest and very knowledgeable with her work and made me feel comfortable the whole time. She did my dress for my wedding in July and it fit like a glove! The dress was a delicate silk, with no zippers and a difficult hem line which she was able to size perfectly.

Amanda is a gem in every aspect, I felt truly lucky to have the opportunity to work with her. I had a special request for my wedding day, a white “Maude Lebowski” Viking dress and helmet. I knew what I wanted but had a hard time verbalizing it and Amanda read my mind, or at least gave me options until it was absolutely PERFECT! She kept me updated the entire time and made sure I had one less thing to worry about. I would recommend her to any and everyone!

I can't even begin to talk about how amazing Amanda is! When I picked out my wedding dress I had a vision of what I wanted altered on my dress. I reached out to Amanda since she came highly recommended by a family friend. I reached out to Amanda once I had my dress in hand. She was always quick and helpful in her responses. When I first met with Amanda, she made me feel comfortable and listened to. Every step of the way Amanda walked me through each part of the process and how she would alter the dress. I never felt any pressure, and I fully trusted her expertise. Amanda truly made my vision come to life! I would recommend her to anyone needing alterations. My best friend is now even working with her to alter her wedding dress! Thank you, Amanda!!

Amanda is a truly gifted wedding dress designer. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of magical, and I am thrilled to share my heartfelt review. From the moment I contacted Amanda, her enthusiasm and passion for transforming vintage dresses into modern masterpieces were evident. The initial consultation was a collaborative and inspiring process, during which she listened attentively to my vision for a unique and sentimental wedding dress. I was to wear my family wedding dress from the 1940s, which was worn by many generations of women in my family. I was going to surprise my mother with this dress on my wedding day. I had a two-year engagement period and worked with Amanda during that entire period. Throughout the alteration process, Amanda demonstrated exceptional skill and attention to detail. The expertise was impeccable, showcasing a keen understanding of fabric, design, and the importance of preserving the dress's history She delicately preserved the vintage charm of the dress while modernizing some elements to bring my dream wedding gown to life. Included, in the ensemble of fabric I brought to Amanda was a lace jacket. She thought of an idea to sew the lace onto the dress without the sleeves. Then to use the buttons from the lace sleeves to cover the zipper in the back, I loved the whole idea! She shows you the changes she makes at every session to ensure you love the design at every step of the way. Timely communication, flexibility, and a true commitment to customer satisfaction were all part of the exceptional service she provided. She offered suggestions for finding shoes to match with the the dress color, day of hacks to get in and out of the dress (as I needed a tool for my buttons) and other helpful suggestions that I will always be grateful for. The joy and emotion that lit up on my mother’s face when she saw the wedding dress was priceless, turning a beautiful moment into an unforgettable memory. I can’t thank Amanda enough for bringing that moment to life. In conclusion, I can’t recommend Amanda highly enough. Her ability to breathe new life into vintage gowns is truly remarkable. The entire experience, from conceptualization to the big reveal, was a collaborative journey that resulted in a wedding dress beyond my wildest dreams. If you're looking for a designer who can help you capture your vision and turn it into a reality, look no further – this talented individual is a true gem in the world of wedding dress alterations.
