When I bought my wedding dress, it was a sample sale piece that didn’t fit me at all — but Melinda worked absolute magic and made it fit perfectly. From the very first fitting, she...
made me feel completely at ease and confident that my dress was in the best hands.
Her attention to detail and skill are unmatched. She reshaped the gown beautifully so it looked like it was made just for me. Beyond her talent, she was so kind, patient, and understanding through all the wedding stress.
Thanks to her, I am walking down the aisle feeling amazing in a dress that fit like a dream. I can’t recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone who truly cares and delivers perfection!
Melinda is absolutely phenomenal. I originally only hired her to alter my wedding dress and do my bustle. However, it became clear that I needed way more help than I originally rea...
lized. I had already hired her in the past for other alterations and to make something custom for me. So I knew what I was getting by choosing to work with her. She is so talented and has a great work ethic. I even had her there to help with for anything and everything that I could possibly need help with on the day of my wedding. Her concierge service is a must! She steamed my dress and all of my bridesmaids dresses. She fixed so many things last minute and worked with my crazy schedule. My sister even hired Melinda last minute because she forgot to get her dress altered and she would have tripped trying to walk in it because it was too long (she was my maid of honor). I have no idea how much she paid but none of us cared because we didn’t have to worry about anything. Melinda is worth every penny and more.
