Bridal spotlight.
This beautiful sweet bride loved her dress so much she didn't want to take it off! And I don't blame her. She was radiant on her special day.
Her 'Astrid & Mercedes' gown needed taking in 2 inches, a hem and bustle plus a couple minor fixes. A lovely dress to work on and a lovely bride.

What a difference alterations make! This wonderful gal came to me needing a few things changed on her bridesmaid dress. She left looking radiant and ready for the wedding.

Thank you everyone for keeping me busy. At present I'm fully booked for formal gowns until Thanksgiving.

Bridal spotlight!
My beautiful bride celebrated her day recently and sent me pics! Her dress fit perfectly when she came to me except for the hem length. With the lace hem I had to remove the hem and readjust to meld into the train. A 3 pt bustle finished off this lovely gown.
