OMG I don’t know what I would’ve done without Wendy! She totally saved my wedding day! My dream dress and it was gaping open right before I had to go down the aisle! Literally sewing on dresses while we were getting in them! She saved my mom and the grooms mom from wardrobe disasters also. I cannot recommend having her on hand enough!

As the mother of the groom I cannot express how much it meant to look great at the wedding! Wendy helped me find a dress that looked amazing and was completely comfortable too. I was able to truly enjoy the wedding without a second thought to what I was wearing. You know you did it right when the bridesmaids say they hope they look that good at that age!

Meet Wendy

I absolutely LOVE weddings and proms and everything about them. Being a part of the memories we cherish for life is the most rewarding thing ever. My 30+ years of sewing and doing alterations for every different size shape and style has taught me a few things. While there isn’t usually anything I can’t fix with a needle and thread it breaks my heart to see brides and bridesmaids struggling with the dress they were sold. The entire wedding day revolves around the bride and the beautiful women sharing her day.
I’m on a mission to stop some of the tears.
