This dress needed to have the skirt taken up at the front waist, the bodice taken in through the princess seams, taken in through the hips, and to be hemmed.

His favorite hoodie was getting holes in it, but he wasn’t ready to give it up. So, he asked me to turn it into a back pack. He helped with some of the sewing!

I had the honor of working on all 3 of these dresses!
The wedding dress needed a waist stay to help support the weight of the skirt, hems, and a bustle.
The mother of the bride needed her dress taken in and shortened.
The bridesmaid’s dress started out as a single shoulder strap dress. We changed the neckline, added boning, a waist stay, and cups.

A delightful family to work with!

This dress was a fun transformation from one shoulder strap to strapless.
Converting it to strapless required adding boning, cups, and a waiststay, as well as changing the neckline.

A custom wedding dress that I had the privilege of helping create. She brought me a red skirt with black tulle overlay, a white corset, satin fabric, lace, and gold appliques.

She asked me to cover the corset in the satin and add the lace to make it similar to a halter top, and then add appliques to both the top and the skirt.
