Lee was the best! She was super helpful! She's closer to my age so I felt very comfortable with her and that she really understood what I wanted. I've been to some other amazing alteration places but they are a bit more old-fashioned and don't know about newer trends/styles. Lee made it really easy and I trusted her 100%.
She was super quick and did an amazing job at an amazing price and I couldn't be more happy! I highly recommend.
I bought my dress at Bliss Bridal in Cheshire, CT and LD Alterations was just a block up the road. Bliss Bridal delivered my dress and LD Alterations worked with me to add lining to the bodice and hem the length. It was such a stress free and seamless process to get my dress just how I wanted it. My dress was perfect!
Lee was an amazing seamstress for all my bridal needs. She communicated everything clearly including timeline and pricing and followed through on sticking to her deadline. I appreciated the time and care she took during my fitting to make sure that I was comfortable in my wedding dress. I highly recommend Lee for all your wedding dress alteration needs!
Lee was absolutely wonderful throughout the process of fitting my wedding dress. She returned calls and texts right away and was super flexible in scheduling. Her space is so comfortable and inviting, and she is no different. In only two fitting appointments, my dress was absolutely perfect. Lee made me feel super comfortable throughout the entire fitting process, and I couldn't be happier with how my dress fit me on my wedding day! LD Alterations is the best!
I had an amazing experience working with Lee on my bridal dress alterations! She was so easy to work with and truly knows what she's doing. The alterations were exactly what I envisioned, and she even added detachable sleeves that clipped on and off perfectly for dancing. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Lee for any wedding dress alterations!
I cannot thank Lee enough for her work on my wedding dress. I wore the dress til 4 AM the night of my wedding and didn't even want to take it off. It fit so perfectly!! She did an outstanding job and we only did 2 fittings! Lee was also an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt so calm with her and immediately trusted her skills and her knowledge. She even made a stunning kerchief from the excess hem to match the dress.
I highly, highly recommend Lee!!
Lee did an amazing job on my dress! It fit like a glove and the bustle was perfect. I can’t thank her enough. 100% would recommend!!
Lee did an excellent job with the alterations to my dress! She fixed the fit in the shoulders, hemmed it, shaped the butt area, and created new bows for it! She was very welcoming and I felt super comfortable with her. She is very fast with communication which is also so important, as I needed to reschedule a few times. Everything was on time and so beautifully done!
A few months before my wedding I called to have my dress altered from the salon I purchased my dress. They told me they recently where down a seamstress and I was out of luck, I’d have to go else where. Of course I was in a panic!! I frantically started to look up places I could go, and stumbled upon Lees Instagram!! After talking to a mutual friend who raved about her I booked an appointment! Lee was booked up but took me anyways, thank goodness!!! She was beyond a pleasure to work with. I was very nervous because my dress was definitely a few sizes too large. Lee took out her scissors and immediately started to get to work. The dress basically needed to be completely reconstructed. When I came back I couldn’t believe how perfect my dress came out. It fit perfectly and you would never be able to tell the amount of work she had to do! It looked like it was made for me!! Lee is beyond talented and so sweet! Please go to her for your bridal dress alterations! You won’t be disappointed!
Lee is absolutely fantastic! She made me feel so comfortable during each of my fittings and is incredibly knowledgeable in her craft. The alterations to my wedding gown came out exactly as I wanted them to. She is a true professional, and is also full of great tips for the day of as well! Highly recommend!!
Lee was absolutely everything I needed and more! Her work is stunning and she gave me nothing to worry about on my big day! My wedding dress was gorgeous and fit so well. I was able to walk down the aisle barefoot without worrying about tripping and able to dance the night away without a care in the world! Thank you so much Lee! I highly recommend!!
Lee saved me when my first wedding seamstress did a very poor quality job on my wedding dress alterations and I was in a panic being so close to our wedding date. Lee is thorough, focuses on making sure you feel great in the dress, and overall a pleasure to work with! Also VERY reasonablly priced! Thank you LD Alterations! ❤️
Lee is an absolute delight. Super responsive, easy to work with efficient. She was able to create a belt from my dress scraps and manufactured a charming bow for the back of my dress. I looked and felt beautiful. Highly recommend working with her. Thanks Lee!
Lee completed alterations on my wedding dress for my October 2023 wedding. From my initial phone call, Lee was informative, clear, and communicative. I had the initial appointment to meet with her and then the second appointment to try on my dress to ensure alterations were done to my liking. Lee completed my alterations to perfection, adding a bustle, completing a hem, and adjusting the straps. I was more than pleased with her work and would highly recommend her! She is also kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you, Lee!
Lee was a pleasure to work with and took her time during the fittings to make sure my wedding dress fit perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the finished look.
She is amazing! Very professional ! Will recommend her to everyone I know.
I am so glad that we found Lee!!
My wife and I were nervous about finding a seamstress who would work well with a same-sex couple. Lee was friendly, professional, incredibly skilled, and absolutely lovely to work with. Her alterations to both of our wedding gowns were perfect, and her background as a costumer enabled her to give us great advice about things like taping a low-cut neckline and attaching back jewelry. I even brought in the vintage dress I wore for our rehearsal dinner, and Lee fixed a busted seam and reinforced the pockets for no extra charge.
Hire this woman!!
Lee did an amazing job altering my wedding dress. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything that she doing with my dress to make it fit me the best. I loved working with her!
I bought a sample sale dress off the rack that was larger than my size and Lee altered it perfectly! I felt very comfortable talking with her about things I was worried about and she was able to fix them for me. She even shortened a veil for me! Her services were affordable, as well. I highly recommend!
Lee was fantastic! Upon arrival at my first fitting, Lee noticed significant staining on my dress from the bridal shop I purchased from. She walked me through all my options and helped me remain calm in this moment of panic. She even assured me we had plenty of time to fix the dress and alter it prior to my wedding day. I was able to get the dress cleaned/fixed and Lee was able to do all the alterations. She was so easy to work with, helped me feel comfortable and listened to what I wanted. So happy I found her and would 10/10 recommend her to anyone else! Thank you Lee!
Lee did an incredible job with my wedding gown alterations. I worked with her and Bliss Bridal in Cheshire to make my dress even more beautiful than when I bought it! Lee was patient and listened to our requests. The dress was ready on time and I received SO many compliments on how it fit. Lee also helped my mom with her Mother of the Bride gown-she added sleeves and hemmed a very tricky horsehair/sequin dress. It fit mom perfectly and it was exactly what she wanted. Everything was seamless (literally!) Lee is attentive, knowledgable, flexible, patient, and has so many tricks up her sleeve. Thank you Lee for taking the time to my our day a dream come true! I highly suggest LD Alterations for bridal alterations!
Lee was very patient and accommodating. She made me feel comfortorable from the beginning to the end with 3 alteration appointments and stood by everything I asked for to make my dream wedding gown come more alive! Thank you Lee ❤️
Lee was absolutely amazing! She is very communicative, flexible, and a top-notch professional. But most importantly, she’s incredibly kind and has a great personality! You can tell she’s very knowledgeable, a true expert on her field. A massive thank you, Lee, for helping me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
Lee was amazing!! She was so professional and helpful throughout my experience. Lee is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job communicating with you and answering your questions throughout the fittings. She made my wedding dress absolutely perfect! I would not hesitate to recommend her for your big day!
Lee was OUTSTANDING! I’m a plus size bride, and I was so nervous about my first fitting. Lee made me feel confident, beautiful, and SO COMFORTABLE! Not only did she know what she was doing, but she explained everything to me! She is beyond talented. My dress came out beautiful, perfect length. My dress had lace all around the bottom and she made sure she sued it back in place, perfectly, she’s amazing. I highly recommend her!!! She made the process feel so stress free and incredible!
Lee was amazing! My dress did not need too much adjusting but she was so helpful in working with me on determining exactly what was going to look best. She was patient as I debated different bustle options and overall, she did a wonderful job. My dress looked perfect and alterations were very affordable.
Lee was absolutely amazing! The shop I got my dress from ordered it very big but Lee did an amazing job making it fit perfectly. She listened to my concerns and made changes to the dress accordingly. I was not feeling confident with my dress when it finally got it delivered, but after Lee finished the alterations I felt so confident in it and much happier with what she changed for me. Choosing someone to alter your wedding dress can be nerve wracking but Lee made me feel comfortable with the whole process and did an incredible job. I would without a doubt recommend Lee to anyone looking for wedding dress alterations.
Lee was an expert and made the alteration process for both of my dresses such a breeze. I came to Lee after a bad experience at another alteration place and she immediately knew what needed to be fixed and made me feel so at ease. I travelled a ways to see her and it was 100% worth it. Both dresses turned out perfectly and I felt so confident wearing them on my wedding day. I highly recommend LD Alterations! Truly the best!
Lee altered both mine & my wife's wedding dresses back in October. She was great to work with, listened to what we wanted, and they came out perfect. The appointments were quick, easy, and enjoyable. I personally asked for her to make my boobs look great in my really low cut dress and she did not disappoint! Cost was affordable, and the communication and results were great. I would definitely recommend her services.
Lee was such a great help during my wedding journey!! Not only was she great at communicating, but provided very easy availability for me, comfortable pricing, and explained exactly what she needed to do in order to alter my gown. She worked with my vision and made sure I was happy and comfortable in the alternations needed within the bust and train of my wedding dress. Thank you Lee!! Highly recommend working with you.
I loved working with Lee. She was kind, detail-oriented and made the alterations process go so smoothly. My dress turned out beautifully and (more importantly) I was COMFORTABLE throughout my entire wedding day. I could not recommend her enough!
LD Alterations took all my thoughts about how I wanted my dress to look and feel into consideration. They had lots of patience with me and quickly exceeded my exceptions. Highly recommend
Lee did a fantastic job altering my wedding dress! She even took the time to fix some small things I noticed after I picked up my dress. I’m recommending her to all my engaged friends! Thanks Lee!
Lee was awesome. She walks you through options head to toe and her work product is great. Although I didn’t compare prices, I found her to be a great value for the quality of the work. I highly recommend Lee for your wedding dress alterations!
I was lucky enough to be introduced to Lee through my sister, and unknowingly purchased a dress that looked simple but was secretly hiding tons of layers that needed taming to fit correctly. We giggled at the weird design, worked together to find the right solutions to the challenges we uncovered and made really solid suggestions that made a world of difference when the day finally came! I still owe Lee an edible arrangement for all her time and dedication to ensuring I left completely happy and I hope nothing but the best things for her in the future!
Lee was enjoyable and easy to work with, positive, and highly skilled. I felt so beautiful and comfortable in my dress and it showed in all my pictures! It fit perfectly and we only needed 2 alteration appointments to make it perfect - one for measurements and another for a final try on. She even gave me tips on how to get the dress to lay flat on my body and she showed my sister how to bustle the dress!
Lee did an amazing job tailoring my wedding dress. She was easy to work with and talk to. She is also very knowledgable and took the time to helped this indecisive bride figure out the best bustle for her wedding dress.
Lee was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She altered my wedding dress and it fit perfectly when she was done. She added some extra dress features I asked for and was able to handle the dress with no issues despite how heavily beaded it was. Highly recommend!
Lee did an amazing job making my wedding dress fit perfectly! She made sure I was able to walk, sit, and feel comfortable in my dress. She knew every hem and seam to adjust to make it fit like a glove. I so appreciated her attention to detail and effort to make sure everything fit just right. I was worried how my dress would end up fitting, and Lee absolutely delivered!
Lee was great and made dress alterations a joy to go to! She is amazing at her job and knows exactly how to make a dress fit perfectly. I would recommend Lee to anyone looking for dress alterations. She made my whole process stress free knowing my dress was in her hands.
They did a fantastic job. Beautiful alterations on an intricate dress and you wouldn't have known at all.
Lee did an amazing job altering my dress for my late September wedding! Not only did it fit like a glove, but working with her was a wonderful experience! At your first fitting, she'll explain the alterations process from head to toe and give you options (for things like bustle types, hem, cups), and patiently help you determine what is best for you. She has a calming presence that put me at ease, and she really takes the time to make sure you're comfortable. Also, my 'something borrowed' was my aunt's (early '80s) veil, and Lee modified that beautifully for a more contemporary look. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Lee to any brides in the area!
I cannot say enough incredible things about Lee!!!! Lee is so personable, kind & honest. I am a very particular person and was initially worried about my dress fitting. However, the moment I met Lee I was instantly relieved. She pays such close attention to detail and is extremely knowledgeable/talented. There were specific alterations that I wanted and Lee made my vision come to life! I can honestly say that her work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Lee and can assure you that you're in good hands.
Lee is a craftswoman. She really understood how my dress was made, how it would sit on me, and therefore had exert opinions on what needed to be altered for it to fit and look right. She was easy to work with and flexible.
Lee is AMAZING!!!!
First of all, I just want to say that getting my dress fitted was an emotional experience for me, as I struggle with having all eyes on me in a showy number. Lee made me feel SO beautiful and confident. My dress fit like a glove.
I have extremely sensitive skin and upon my final fitting, the original straps of my dress scratched me badly causing hives. I was SO NERVOUS I would be red and in pain all day; but Lee took my dress home and remade... yes REMADE my straps in a different fabric and beaded it so it looked the the original in one evening! That saved my wedding day and really made me feel so special (sans hives).
I truly recommend Lee to anyone who needs their dress fitted and also needs a little pep talk to boost their confidence!! Thank
you, Lee!!!

Lee is talented, upbeat, honest, and professional. It is clear that she enjoys what she does. Talking with her during alterations was like talking with a friend, she made me feel extremely comfortable and laid out all of the options available for my dress. (Train length, lace placement, bustle, etc.) Thanks to her my wedding dress for me perfectly and I cannot wait to wear it in just a few weeks. I cannot recommend her highly enough! If there is any doubt about who to trust your dress with, Lee is your person.
Lee did an amazing job with my dress and making me feel extremely comfortable in it. Due to COVID we changed our wedding date a few times and she was more than willing to accommodate each and every change! She was fun to work with and would highly recommend her services!
Lee was the absolute BEST to work with during all of the many changes that occurred for our wedding for 2020. I had originally scheduled with Lee for my original dress and when plans began to change I had found a different dress that I felt was more fitting for our mini wedding, Lee graciously took on working on this second dress for me during all of the craziness that 2020 had sent our way. Lee was the most calm spirit during this process, she was prompt to respond and her work was incredible. She not only made me feel absolutely beautiful as she made my second hand gown fit like a glove, but she also made me feel the excitement that I had originally felt when trying on wedding dresses. I couldn’t have asked for a greater experience and I cannot wait to work with her again for my 2021 reception dress!! I have already recommended Lee to other brides especially COVID brides who need a little sense of calm in their experience. Thank you Lee for the wonderful experience.
(If there was an option for more than 5 stars, I’d give them all to Lee!)
I had a fantastic experience working with Lee! She was flexible and easy to work with despite the crazy circumstances going on right now and the changes to our wedding date.
Lee is talented at her craft and my dress fit absolutely PERFECTLY on my wedding day. I highly, highly recommend LD Alterations for your wedding dress needs!
Lee did an AMAZING job fitting my dress to my body; to say it fit like a glove is an understatement!!! Everyone was blown away with how beautiful the dress came out and multiple people said the dress was made for me. I have Lee and her hard work to thank for this! She went above and beyond to make sure the dress was perfect, and it was! 10/10 recommend!!
Lee was awesome!!! She was a pleasure to work with and did an incredible number on the wedding dress so that it fit like a glove! Highly, highly recommend.
Lee was incredible! She is professional in every way. Her work is meticulous, suggestions are spot on (due to her experience as a seamstress & in costume design), communicates clear expectations and understands her brides! It was the best experience for my daughters covid wedding prep! We highly recommend her!
Lee was amazing to work with! She’s super talented. It can be really scary to trust someone with your wedding dress but Lee is definitely someone I recommend. Her demeanor is welcoming and she made me feel comfortable and safe during the 2020 craziness. Timely, professional, and skilled!
During my fittings I wasn’t sure if my June wedding was happening let alone if I’d be able to wear my dress. Lee was very encouraging and addressed all my concerns. She tailored the dress to fit me perrrfectly and had some great advice about train length that met my preferences. She even helped my decision on wearing it for the casual backyard covid wedding instead of waiting until next year. I am SO glad I took her advice.
Lee’s alterations for my wedding gown were perfect. I bought a strapless dress and wanted to add straps to it but hadn’t ordered the matching material in time. Lee found material that matched and created beautiful straps. When I went in for my second appointment, the gown fit perfectly everywhere. Thank you Lee!
Lee was absolutely amazing! Beyond personable and professional. My dress fit me like a glove! Lee made such helpful suggestions and alterations to help me feel more comfortable in my dress! She works magic!! I highly recommend and plan on using her for anything I need in the future!
Lee was awesome from start to finish. Given the current situation and environment it was tough to find someone to alter my dress who was open and available. She was one of the only ones and I’m so happy she was because she did such a great job. You can tell she truly loves what she does and is passionate about her work and her clients. Highly recommend!
Lee is amazing! She is wonderful to work with and very flexible. She immediately puts you at ease (especially important for someone about to see you in your undies!) and she really listens to her clients. And of course her work is stunning.
I’m so grateful I had her do my wedding dress and have recommended her to several friends since who also loved her work.
Lee did amazing! I bought my dress from Bliss Bridal and was glad to hear she did alterations right there. My dress needed minimal alterations, but Lee made it fit perfect! Lee was very easy to work with and made me feel comfortable! I would highly recommend!
Lee was AMAZING! My dress fit and looked so beautiful when she was finished altering it! She is easy to communicate with and was very helpful during the entire process of getting my wedding dress to be perfect!
Lee did an amazing job altering my wedding dress! It fit like a glove on wedding day! Lee was profession, listened to my needs and preference while also offered great suggestions. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone looking for wedding dress alterations.
Working with Lee was an absolute pleasure! She knows her craft, is timely and sets expectations at the first meeting. She was a lot of fun to work with, she made my wedding dress fit like a glove, I never wanted to take it off! Her lacework is amazing, she hemmed my dress perfectly, and my bustle (8 point bustle) was the bomb! Thank you again Lee!!!
Lee was amazing. She had a flexible schedule which was very much appreciated due to my crazy schedule mixed with my maid of honors’. She was professional, yet personable and extremely knowledgeable. She understood what I meant when I couldn’t quite explain things. My dress was absolutely perfect and I have her to thank! Highly recommend!
My wedding was in April of 2019. I had chosen a wedding dress from Bliss Bridal and wanted to put some bling around the upper part of the dress, The dress also was a little long and because it had layers of horsehair it was a delicate job to do. Lee Dumas was the seamstress that did the work. Lee was professional and friendly. She listened to what I wanted and made suggestions that were things I had never thought of. Her work is impeccable and every detail is thought of and done with perfection. She added bling around the bust line of my dress and understood that I wanted it to stop under my arms so they wouldn’t be rubbing against it all night causing me discomfort. Somehow Lee managed to put the bling on and have it stop by the underarms, yet looked like it continued into the dress.
She also was able to hem my dress with the horsehair layers and still have my veil (with the layers also) match when I walked down the aisle. The effect was beautiful. Any little thing I requested (a small stitch in the front, to put loops for my bling belt so it would stay at my waist), she did. It was more than her being a great seamstress (which she is), it was her positive attitude and the ”little touches” she provided that showed what a great professional she is and how passionate she is about making every bride look their best!
I had her alter a bridesmaid dress for me. Not only did she work an exceptional amount of magic to make it fit me (I’d gained 10lbs since buying it and it was form fitting to start) she did it while boosting my confidence. Which was no mean feat, I did NOT feel confident in that dress till she’d finished with it. She was fast, professional, reasonably priced and charming. I will absolutely be coming to her for anything I need altered forever.
My. Gown. Was. Perfect. Obviously, I was in love with my dress having purchased it, but off the rack it was ill fitting and slouchy. Once Lee was finished with it, it was a one of a kind masterpiece that made me feel like a svelte goddess (btw: I’m not that, but you couldn’t have told me so while I was wearing that gown!) I’ve never been more pleased or impressed with someone’s craftsmanship and understanding of their art. Lee was honest with me while still displaying incredible listening skills and a divine controlled skill of her sewing craft. Thank you, Lee! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
