Custom Sewing by Heather

dibly knowledgeable. Heather herself is truly the sweetest most caring individual. I am so glad I chose to trust her with my special dress! She completely changed my dress and made my dress fit me like a glove. Best part of wedding planning ! If you are considering her for alterations I will always say to go with Heather!

ery nice- she makes you feel at home in her home. Could not recommend Heather enough!

sees every little detail, she explains her work every step of the way so you feel comfortable, and she can make something look beautiful to stunning! She not only altered by wedding dress, but she also created a unique masterpiece taking my mom’s one of a kind vintage wedding dress and making it my rehearsal Dinner dress. She kept all the elegance and integrity of the dress all while making it perfect for the occasion. She even made sure I had left over pieces for memories. It was a surprise for my mom, and she was in tears of joy with her work. Now onto her personality and attentiveness to her clients. She is kind, relatable, hard working (when does she sleep), patient, and she always made me feel special and perfect in my own way. I had moments where my confidence dimmed and she lit it back up. The one time I had guest with me, she made sure I was still the main focus. Lastly, her customer service - she knows that when the job needs to get done she will get it done. We had to squeeze in a few more appointments at crunch time and she made it work! It wasn’t easy, since she sees brides almost all day every day, but she knows what to do to make sure you feel content. She was very reasonable and up front with her pricing. Something I found very interesting that I’ve never had before. Is she makes all your appointments right away which I actually loved! You truly get what you pay for. She explains all the details you need for day of, processes for the dress that your attendants need to know, provides recommendations of products, and she even has someone that partners to steam your dress. Not to mention her house is beautiful and her workspace is clean! 100/10!!! Book in advance as she is booked out right away! But it’s worth it. PLUS - she partnered with the show Love is Blind!! Celebrity in the house ;) love you Heather!!

ns process. She made me feel so confident in my dress and I looked forward to seeing her each appointment. Her work space is in her beautiful home, with ample street and driveway parking. Highly recommend her and her services!

nal touches, she made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. The craftsmanship was flawless, and the fit was absolutely perfect—I truly felt like the best version of myself on my big day. Not only is she incredibly talented, but also kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was just right. I’m so grateful I found her. Highly recommend to any bride looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond!

appointments right away so I knew what to expect. Heather is very knowledgeable about what she is doing. I hadn't thought about what type of bustle I wanted and she showed me the options I had with my type of dress. It turned out great! I also liked how she made the bustle easy for my personal attendant to do day of by having her at my last fitting to show her. I would recommend Heather to other brides.

1000/10!

as clear from the very first appointment that I could be confident in her ability to take care of my dress and do an incredible job. Thank you so much, Heather!

y fitting - lovely calm love songs playing in the background, pretty lights and decorations, and a big stunning mirror where you see yourself in your dress and picture yourself on the big day. Heather’s expertise and professionalism are so apparent and her work is just as great. My dress had a shimmery fabric that was on the finicky side. Heather had no issues! She even made my dress’ straps removable so I could have straps on for the ceremony and off for the reception. Heather also created a beautiful bustle on my dress, then taught my mom and MOH so they could do it for me on the wedding day. You truly can’t get any better than Heather when it comes to wedding dress alterations. She deserves every award she’s received and more!

dresses, and then after my own first fitting, I knew getting my dressed altered was going to be one of the least stressful parts of wedding planning since it was in good hands. She was also able to make recommendations on which undergarments I should choose to work with the cut of the dress. On the wedding day, my wedding dress fit and bustled wonderfully and I didn’t have to worry about it at all. I would highly recommend Heather for wedding dress alterations!

op sleeves. I had so many people give me compliments on the sleeves and they were all impressed when I told them that Heather made them. She is professional, communicative, and honest with what she needs from you from the very beginning. I've had multiple dresses/clothes altered over the years and none of the tailors/seamstresses have been as easy to work with as her.

is great to work with, is efficient and punctual with her appointments (don't be late! she has a busy schedule), and does top notch work. My older sister also got her dress altered by Heather. She also wins tons of awards each year for how talented she is!

!!

My dress was a lace fit and flare with extremely delicate fabric, and she handled all alterations with care, precision, and exceptional attention to detail. Every appointment was efficient but extremely informative as I learned an incredible amount about my dress and how to take care of it on wedding day. My dress was in the best hands and was transformed to fit like a glove. She also goes out of her way to add additional appts. if needed. Thank you for making this process so special and fun!

ruin” a dress which was a relief that we couldn’t mess it up! Her home and studio is so welcoming and she answers any questions you have to make sure you are 100% happy!

my dress. On top of all of that, her prices are extremely reasonable for the work that she does. I would highly recommend Custom Sewing by Heather for all brides!

of the alterations. I think most bustles are ugly and haven’t seen brides have good experiences with them before, but Heather made my bustle unnoticeable and beautiful. It was so easy for my mom and MOH to bustle and it held up with no issues. Heather is so kind. She allowed me to FaceTime with my grandfather, who lives out of town, who was diagnosed with cancer a few moths before my wedding to allow him to see me in my dress before he passed away. That experience gave me and my grandfather a memory I will never forget. I was able to not have any regrets day of my wedding knowing he wasn’t there. Heather is incredibly talented and I highly recommend working with her!

confident in the fit of the dress! If you get the chance, book with her. You will not regret it!!

chieve while also maintaining the integrity of the dress. She was able to make most of the changes that I wanted and my dress turned out beautifully. She is very knowledgeable, her space is beautiful, and she is wonderful to be around. She is very transparent about pricing, giving me a quote at the first appointment and updating as I requested additional changes. The price event turned out to be less than she originally quoted when all was said and done. I would highly recommend Heather to any bride looking for alterations.

e too large and Heather expertly resized the top for me so I would be more comfortable. She worked magic with my bustle to make it exactly how I envisioned! I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in the Twin Cities metro area!!!

and is expected of you. Really takes away any stress when it comes to your dress on your big day! Can’t recommend her enough! Definitely someone you will want to budget for but she is worth it for her experience and great work.

ade me feel uncomfortable or rushed at my appointments, and always took as much time as needed to make sure I was happy with the fit of my dress. I was initially nervous about the alterations process, but after my first appointment with Heather I had complete faith that she would execute exactly what I was looking for, and she made the process so enjoyable. Heather's attention to detail and skill made my dress absolutely perfect and I couldn’t be more thankful. I highly recommend working with her!!
