Krista's Sewing Nook

Krista's Sewing Nook Specializing in custom design and created bridal gowns/formal wear, bridal and bridal party alterati I've been sewing and creating since I was a little girl.

My name is Krista Stubbs and I run my business in my West Richland, WA home. I was born and raised in Hermiston, OR and have lived in Tri Cities since 2002. My first sewing project was a pair of "petal pushers", (capris for the present day definition). I was hooked. I wanted to learn how to sew everything and modify any pattern for a custom design. My mother was a professional seamstress while I w

as growing up and she ran her business out of her home. I would watch her for hours absolutely fascinated by how easy she made it look. She taught me everything I needed to know about sewing and I've kept learning and growing my sewing and designing abilities well into my adulthood. I've worked for a costume designer where I learned an even deeper knowledge of pattern modification and design. In 2003 I opened a Custom Bridal and Alteration shop, in 2006 I moved out of state and in 2014 I started it back up again.

This stunning and sleek fit and flair gown has all the best details for a contoured and fitted look. She needed a few things to give her the dream fit! I adjusted the shoulders, added boning and bust cups, and created a build up to the incredibly low back plunge it originally had. I used the hem cut off to accomplish that. Her 6 point bustle was a compilation of the standard button and loops at the top of the bustle, plus snaps at the hem to keep the beauty of the beaded lace on display.

So just EVERYTHING about this gown is perfection!!!πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—Can’t say enough about this gorgeous masterpiece showcase ...

Can’t say enough about this gorgeous masterpiece showcase of the gown. She needed a couple of things done to give her the perfect fit. I brought in the sides, added bust cups, and adjusted those fabulous sleeves! Oh my gosh those sleeves!!😍😍😍 She also needed a hem to complete her dream gown fit.

She needed a side take in, boning and bust cups as well as the straps shortened. That intense hem gives her a safe length so she can walk and move around in her beautiful gown.

Here’s another one that makes me swoon! Can’t get over how beautiful that lace is!
She has the perfect dress but she needed the perfect fit. I reshaped the top of the dress at the bust to give her a softer look after sizing down the bust seams. I added bust cups as well. She also needed a hem. Her 6 point American bustle gives such a fun transition from wedding gown to party dress. LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress!!!

She needed the sides adjusted for sizing from the bodice through the hips, boning and bust cups in the bodice as well as the front drape tacked down to control the neckline better, and a hem. Her 14 point French bustle completed the whole look! To say I love French bustles on these fit and flair gowns is an understatement.

This beaded simple elegance is the perfect look for a quaint and private ceremony. Absolutely stunning. I adjusted the straps and added boning and bust cups to the bodice. After hemming the skirt,I used what I cut off and created those ruffled flutter sleeves and attached them to her straps. πŸ’—πŸ˜πŸ’—

πŸ’— Lace detail
πŸ’— Flowy skirt
πŸ’— Light and Fun to wear
Did I miss anything?
She fell in love with the dramatic lace detail and flow in the skirt. She just needed a few things to make it a perfect fit. I added bust cups, created bust darts to contour to her body, boning for structure, and a hem. Her 16 point American bustle sounds massive and complicated but it was actually very easy to put up and what a fun difference it makes for party time! It swished and swayed beautifully!😍

😍AWE THIS DRESS😍 I’m obsessed!
She needed the sides taken in, bust cups and a hem for the perfect fit. Her 18 point French bustle is intense but look at that!!😍 she loves the freedom of movement with a fun flair. Bonus is that with a French bustle, there’s no straightening out and rearranging of the back of the dress throughout the night. It stays in place. Love that about these frenchies.πŸ’—

😍 Can you even believe this gown??😍
This satin beauty has that sleek, romantic vibe all over it. She just needed a few things to make it a perfect fit. A side take in from bodice into the hips, the back tapered in for contouring to her natural back curve, bust cups, and a hem. That 4 point French bustle! Simple and easy but what a dramatic and romantic transformation from wedding gown to party dress!

These boho style gowns are so unique and beautiful. Loving the details of this one! I adjusted the shoulders and sleeves to fit better, took in the bust seams, hemmed the skirt layers and created the 9 point American bustle. This dress has all the sweetness and flowy. I’m loving it!

This gorgeous gown is her dream dress but it was not built for her petite frame. I restructured and resized everything from top to hem. The end result was absolute perfection for fit and her style. I resized the bust, sides, and hips. I added structure with boning in the bodice and added bust cups. She loves cold shoulder sleeves so I added that as well. I Hemmed all those gorgeous and intricate layers and integrated the lace trim back into the skirt detail so the skirt looked untouched and perfect. Her beautiful French bustle created the dramatic party dress look she wanted. πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
