Before and after

This ATV seat was ‘too far gone.’ After years fixing wedding dresses, I know nothing’s too far gone.

Ready for 20 more years of Montana trails.

New name, new town, same magic ✨

We’re now May’s Stitch & Design ✂️👗🛋️
Relocated to 400 Railroad Ave, Paradise, MT!

This Missoula bride couldn't find ANYONE to fix her dress. It was 3 sizes too big with no form at all.

She was SO stressed. The remembered about me and messaged me. Got her dress done the way she wanted. When she saw it on my mannequin she cried happy tears. Once she put it on, it was perfect.

Complete bodice restructure + corset back added. 34 years of experience and 10 years in business = we made her dream dress happen.

🗓️ SOFT OPENING: September 1 — By appointment
🎉 GRAND OPENING: September 19

Same owner. Same hands. Same 100% recommendation.

Missoula brides — I'm worth the drive.

A little girl’s dreams do come true. ✨

They called us gold diggers.
I dug my own gold — with my bare hands, my talent, and hard work.
No man’s help. Just me, my son, and my children behind me.

7 days a week. No days off.
I forgot what day it was because every day was work day.
I said no to friends.
Boring summers for my kids because mom worked day, night, middle of the night.
Sometimes 32 hours straight — because I have big dreams.

Not to be famous.
But because I have 4 children watching me.
Watching me get knocked down.
Watching me get up, dust off the dirt, and try again.
With my son by my side.

I wasn’t born to give up on my dream easily.

1998: Came to the U.S. with that dream.
2026: Keys to Paradise.

I’m overwhelmed with joy. Thank you. 💜
