“I’m on a mission to stop some of the tears.” — Wendy
Mothers of the bride and groom, prom, brides and family heirlooms, from a seamstress with more than 30 years of sewing and alterations.
Or call (507) 440-1459. By appointment only.
“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.”
So start before you buy. Wendy helps you choose a dress that suits your body, then makes it fit just right.
Wendy fits mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom dresses: hems, taking in, straps, sleeves and pressing.
MOB/MOG package from $150
Sit down with Wendy before you buy. She’ll look at your shape, the wedding’s style and your comfort needs, tell you what to look for (and what to avoid), and what alterations will cost.

That wedding gown in a box can become a getting-ready robe, a christening gown, a ring bearer pillow or a hankie. You don’t need to live nearby: send it to Wendy by mail.
Use the request form (choose “Mail-in keepsake”, up to 3 photos) or text Wendy pictures of the dress and what you’d like made.
Wendy replies with what the dress could become and what it will cost.
Ship it to the address Wendy gives you. Please use a tracked, insured service.
