deMelis Atelier/ The Stitched Collective

Melissa and her team are absolutely fantastic. Melissa is so incredibly talented. She has a great eye and such attention to detail. She was so much fun to chat with during my appointments. I always felt so relaxed and at ease. My alterations appointment felt easy and stress free, and I knew my dress was in the best hands. She altered my dress flawlessly and it fit perfectly on my wedding day! She helped us make a video of how to bustle my dress at my final appointment which was so helpful on my wedding day! I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone!

I will echo the other reviews and emphasize that Melissa and her team is the best!!! Melissa is so talented - the second I met her and she started pinning my dress, the depth of her experience was clear and I knew I was in good hands. She is also the ultimate hype woman - I walked away from each of my appointments feeling even more excited for my wedding! Melissa and her team is patient and kind, eager to help make your experience the best it can be. I had been debating whether I wanted to slightly change the neckline to my dress. At first, I decided against it, but at my second appointment, I mentioned to Melissa that I was still thinking about it. She instantly got out her tools to simulate the change I wanted to make, talking through what she could do. I decided to make the change and am so happy I did, and am so glad that Melissa talked me through the options. After my second appointment, I had an idea about how I was hoping to use any leftover fabric from my dress. I acknowledged that it was probably too late to do anything, but the deMelis team quickly answered that they could make this happen. These are the kinds of things the deMelis team does to go above and beyond. I'd also stress that Melissa is an incredible resource. She is more than a seamstress - she has so much knowledge on all things wedding, from the best spandex to wear to the stain remover you should use if god forbid anything gets on your dress. Melissa will not only make sure you feel confident in your dress, but will make you feel prepared for whatever comes your way on wedding day. I'll end by mentioning how thoughtful the entire deMelis team is. I brought different family members to each of my appointments and the deMelis team was so kind to everyone, making sure everybody was comfortable. All goes to say, if the deMelis Atelier team is still available for your wedding date, go ahead and book them right away!! Photos in Review Shot by Courtney Cania Photography

Melissa and her team at deMelis Atelier are an absolute gem! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her incredible talent. Her attention to detail is impeccable. It was so exciting to see the work done on my dress throughout the three appointments. Melissa and her team at deMelis Atelier are an absolute gem! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her incredible talent. Her attention to detail is impeccable. It was so exciting to see the work done on my dress throughout the three appointments. Not only is her work exceptional, but she is also an absolute joy to work with. She has a gift for making her clients feel confident and beautiful. Unfortunately, I have had a negative experience in the past with a seamstress making comments on gaining weight. Melissa is the opposite - working with her was a blast, and I always looked forward to seeing her and she took away the stress of wedding planning! I highly recommend Melissa and her team at deMelis Atelier to anyone in need of alterations or custom sewing, especially for your wedding day!

Melissa and the entire team at DeMelis Atelier are WONDERFUL. Truly excellent craftsmanship and they are kind, transparent, and honest. My dress was incredible intricate and fragile, but I felt so comfortable throughout the alterations process. My dress fit like a glove on my wedding day and I felt so beautiful! I cannot recommend them enough - truly excellent work!
