Heather is nothing short of amazing - she is very efficient and hemmed my dress in less than a week! I called her on very short notice and she saw me the same day. I’m so thankful for Heather and would recommend her to others!

I paid Heather $1750 (for labor costs) to make my wedding dress (for a quoted 26.75 hours). I also paid for the materials, which came to $1078. In total (with Heather), I paid $2828. When the back felt too tight, she told me that “you don’t...

As far back as I can remember, I've been the one altering clothes for dolls, for myself, for my friends. Off the rack can be boring so I love adding embellishments too! It just seemed a natural thing that I graduate to doing it for a living (and I've been at this for over 30 years!). I will tell you a secret ... there's nothing like having a client, bride, groom or otherwise, look at themselves in the mirror wearing something that I've either made or altered and seeing the look of absolute glee grace their beautiful faces. Makes my week and I love helping people feel fabulous!
