I went to Christine's after reading reviews online as I had a pretty complicated alteration. I had bought a pre-owned dress that was a couple of sizes too big and needed to be taken in quite a bit. I thought Christine's prices were very fair for the complex nature and for her expertise. I was very worried about how my dress would turn out but she did an amazing job. She listened if I felt like something was a little off and did her best to ensure I was happy. I LOVE the way my dress turned out – I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and its all thanks to her. I would trust Christine with any dress. She communicated quickly, provided cost estimate up front and was so very sweet.
Christine has done two bridesmaid dresses and now my wedding gown for me. She has a quick turnaround with bridesmaid dresses and is very knowledgeable and skilled. She gave great recommendations for someone to make a veil for me, and to get my gown pressed/preserved. She did such a great job with all of the dresses she altered for me!
Christine did an amazing job altering my all lace, long-sleeved wedding dress. My dress was way too big in the bust, but Christine worked her magic and brought in the dress so it fit perfectly on my wedding day. I also had a long train, and Christine made a bustle that didn’t fall off while I danced the night away. She was patient with me at alterations appointments when I was unsure what I wanted, and she showed my sister how to do the bustle for the day of. Christine is so easy and nice to work with, I would recommend her to any bride!
Christine was wonderful to work with with my wedding dress and she was easy to communicate with. She did a great job making sure the hem length was perfect to walk in with my shoes, and that the shoulder strap length was comfortable. I had no idea what kind of bustle I wanted so she showed me all of the options. There was a last minute alteration I noticed 1 week before I was leaving for my wedding and I called her in a panic, she was able to squeeze me in and fixed the issue while I sat and waited. I appreciated her kindness and would work with her again in a heartbeat! I got married in NY which added another level of complication but Christine was happy to explain and videotape how to bustle my dress to show to my bridesmaids for the wedding.
Christine did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress! She took in the side, hemmed the length, and added a bustle -it looked so beautiful! She is easy to work with and tells you all the different options available for your dress!
Christine worked absolute wonders on my wedding dress! There is colorful appliqué over the entire dress and Christine was able to alter the waist and bust by several sizes without removing the appliqué. Her stitching is beautiful and precise, you cannot tell that the dress was substantially altered. Christine also hemmed the dress perfectly and maintained the beautiful edging on the bottom of the dress. Several guests at my wedding asked whether I had the dress created for me because it fit so well. I recommend Christine to all brides, especially those with less than traditional dresses! Christine was an absolute joy to work with and her prices are extremely reasonable!
I got my wedding dress altered by Christine and I’m so happy that I did! Christine was great to work with: she shortened my straps, added bra cups, shortened the dress, and added a bustle. She was responsive and upfront in what the cost would be throughout the process. I felt like she really listened to what my day-of needs would be and didn’t try to pressure me to make alterations that I wasn’t happy with. As an example I’m an avid folk dancer and knew that I would need the flexibility to be able to dance without worrying about my dress ripping or being uncomfortable. When she did the bustle, she made sure to make two loops for each button to go through, in case one of them ripped. That extra security really helped me to be confident on the dance floor. The whole wedding day, everyone was commenting on how well the dress fit me.
I was so happy with the job she did on my wedding dress, I ended up taking an old bridesmaid dress to her to make it more wearable for events (moved the straps and shortened it). I recently wore the old bridesmaid dress to another wedding and got so many compliments on it. I would recommend Christine to anyone who is looking to get alterations done!
Christine altered 2 bridesmaid dresses and my wedding dress and all 3 were perfectly altered. She is reasonable and honest in her pricing. She ensured every dress fit perfectly and was comfortable for sitting and dancing in!
Christine with Christine's Alterations will put all your alteration fears to rest. I bought a dress at a sample sale that was at least 2 sizes too big and super baggy. I had nightmares about it being altered wrong or still being super huge for my wedding.
Shopping for a place to get alterations is hard and letting someone cut up you dress is even harder. But Christine is super knowledgeable and experienced and helped lessen all my alteration fears. She walked me through all her plans at the first meeting, and assured me that she would meet with me as many times as needed to get it right. In the end, my dress fit like a glove (not like the baggy sack I initially bought). So many compliments.
As a bonus: Christine's prices are super reasonable! I shopped around initially and this was the best deal I could find that had the best reviews.
Trust Christine with your wedding dress! She truly cares about every bride and makes sure every small detail on the dress is perfect. She did a phenomenal job on my dress, even with having to work with my zipper and lots of beading on the top of the dress.
Christine is a miracle worker, hands down. My dress came in way too large, and she was able to take it in what had to have been almost three sizes while still maintaining the shape and integrity of the dress. The dress had an intricate lace overlay, and Christine was careful to realign the lace after taking it in so that the design looked the same as when I had purchased it. She worked with me over multiple appointments to make sure everything was just right, and on my wedding day it fit absolutely perfectly. On top of all this, Christine's prices are incredibly reasonable and she is transparent with her pricing. Highly, highly recommend!
Christine was AMAZING! She told me exactly what she was going to do to my dress, asked my opinion about everything, made sure I was comfortable with every little change and worked ahead of the timeline she originally gave me! I would absolutely recommend Christine for anyone needing alterations. I trusted her 100% with my dress!
Christine was amazing to work with. She had to do so much to my dress due it being too big and too long. She hemmed almost every part of my lace dress. It turned out perfect and looked like it was made just for me in the end. She made sure to ask me before doing anything to the dress. Christine made me feel at ease and super affordable when compared to other alteration companies. I know brides that paid double elsewhere and need half the work compared to my dress. She does a lot of dresses throughout the year and I was lucky enough to get on her schedule. Highly recommend!
Christine is the absolutely best place to go to for any wedding dress alterations! She was so easy to work with and was passionate about ensuring that my dress fit exactly as I wanted. She puts so much care into her work and is extremely knowledgeable around alterations. She took my wedding dress in that had complicated lace, added a bustle that was SO easy, sewed on a belt, and really helped me feel my best and most confident on my wedding day. I can't recommend Christine enough!!
I discovered Christine through rave reviews on her Facebook page and called her to set up an appointment. My dress was somewhat complicated with its alterations because of a detailed lace overlay. Christine was able to take it in multiple sizes and adjust it to fit me like a glove. Additionally, she was able to hem the complicated scalloped edge of my dress in a unique way with her expert artistic eye. Her fee was reasonable and worth every penny, and the alteration appointments felt like a family member was resizing my dress, despite having never met her. I couldn't recommend her enough as someone to trust with one of the most important aspects of your wedding day.
Christine did an excellent job on the bustle and sleeves of my wedding dress! Great quality and pricing! I was lucky to get my wedding dress early (March) so I was able to get in for an appointment before her busy season. Definitely give her a call, but be aware that she has a LOT of people coming to her, so get in as early as you can!
Christine did a wonderful job with my wedding dress! She hemmed it, took in the waist, and created a bustle. She was flexible with scheduling, offered reasonable quotes, and always made sure that I was comfortable with the alterations.
Christine was so wonderful to work with! She did a great job altering my wedding dress (hemmed, taken in the waist, adding a bustle) and was affordable! She was even able to help out one of my local bridesmaids with her dress. I would definitely recommend her and would go back to her again if I needed other dresses altered.
Christine did such a wonderful job! She altered my wedding dress, 3 bridesmaid dress and 1 flower girl dress. She spent the time with us figuring out what we wanted and talking through the changes she would be making. She really helped us understand what needed to be done. Also, one of my bridesmaids was from way out of town and wasn't able to come until a month before the wedding for her 1st fitting and then then week of the wedding for final. Christine was so accommodating and assured us it would done on time and it was! I would recommend her to anyone for alterations! Thanks Christine!
Christine did a fantastic job with my dress. She was honest and did not try to sell me alterations that I did not need. She was knowledgeable about wedding dresses, and presented us with multiple options along with their pros and cons. She was patient and detail-oriented. Pricing was straightforward--we agreed on a flat fee beforehand, which would not change even if I had to come back for a second or third fitting (I only needed one). I would definitely recommend Christine.
Christine is the best! I thought my wedding dress fit pretty well, but after she was done it didn't move (strapless). She took the time to go through different bustle options, and then even more time at the next appointment to practice bustling my dress with my sister. It definitely made it easier on the wedding day for her to already know where to find the crochet loops.
Christine also altered my sister's maid-of-honor dress perfectly. We were both so happy! Would highly recommend Christine for any wedding dress (or other dress) alterations!
