The Singing Seamstress

Words cannot express how thankful I was to find Heather. I was trying to find the best quality yet affordable seamstress and she is seriously the BEST! She updated me every step of the way, she would make sure I liked something before she'd do it. The sparkly belt (don't know... Read More the correct term) that I purchased to add to my dress ended up being too short but she went to the store, picked up some fabric, and she made it look like it was part of the belt. My dress looked absolutely stunning. I am so glad I trusted her with my dress. She is so friendly, sweet, and genuinely put in love when altering my wedding dress. She actually cares about each client vs the big alteration places that just go through your wedding dress like it's an everyday dress and they charge out the wazoo too. My worries were gone with Heather. Thank you so so much!!

Heather is amazing. She took the time and listened to my suggestions and was able to finish work in timely manner.

A couple of searches and I saw amazing reviews for the singing seamstress. My dress... Read More needed some serious work. It was probably 4 sizes to big and had a bolero that also needed to be altered quite a bit. She hit the nail on the head at the first fitting! I'm glad I listened to the reviews. I am so impressed with her work!! I already hired her again to alter another dress :) thanks Heather!!

Heather did an awesome job altering my wedding dress and veil! When I bought the dress it was about 2-4 sizes too big so there was a lot of work to be done to it. I also had her add a belt and she did the bustle. Everything turned out wonderful and my dress fit like a glove! So... Read More happy with everything!!

I cannot possibly rave enough about Heather! I moved to Houston and needed my dress altered less than a month away from the wedding.

Heather it a total sweetheart! My dress was a bit of pain to bustle, as my skirt was plain/not embellished, and had many layers. She worked with me and tried many different ways to bustle my gown, texting me photos of the different looks. We ended up coming up with a way that we... Read More both thought looked great! She was so patient with me, and never seemed annoyed when I kept asking her to try other options for my bustle. The final outcome was absolutely beautiful! Oh and she had to hem my dress for a second time, because I decided I wanted it a tiny bit shorter. She hemmed it again, and it looked perfect! She also drew a diagram for my matron of honor, showing exactly how to bustle my dress- which was definitely helpful! So point of the story- Heather is super talented, very patient, and sweet. You won't be disappointed! She will do whatever it takes to make sure whatever she is making/altering/etc for you is exactly as you want it. Thank you Heather for making my wedding dress perfect for me!! :)
