The fancy dresses are arriving daily, and I'm loving all the colors 😍

For formal dress hemming (prom and bridesmaids), I recommend you book 3 to 4 weeks in advance of your event, make sure you have your shoes and foundation garments for your fitting (proper bra, sticky cups, shapewear). Hemming can range from $35+ hst to $125+hst, depending on how much time it will take me to alter based on layers, fullness, and difficulty. Once I have a look at your dress, you'll have the cost upfront, so no surprises when it's ready 😉

Brides: I myself am not a bridal specialist, but I can recommend you to the best in the business locally!

DM or text is always the best way to get in touch with me, I usually always answer outside of business hours if I can.....emails are where bills and spam go 🤪

Trending: pink dress pants!!

First of all, OBSESSED!! Secondly, what are the chances I'd have 3 pairs of different pink dress pants to shorten for 3 different clients?

I love my career, and seeing all the lovely colors clients bring in 😍 Especially after such a long drab winter, am I right?! Bring on spring wardrobe change.
Have a safe and happy long weekend 🐣

The age-old question: Should I wash my stuff before I bring it in for alterations? Well, if it's an item that will be going in the wash regularly, then yes!!
I'd much prefer that your pants don't shrink after I hem them, and on top of that, working on dirty stuff is NOT my favorite and means extra cleaning of my prep and work surfaces. Plus, if you've never Googled or seen factory conditions, I assure you some of them will make your skin crawl. Clean is best whenever possible and practical 🫧

I just washed a new pair of pants (my own, I don't wash clients' clothing, to clarify lol) and had a last second thought about throwing in some dye catcher sheets. They are available at Fabricland, if you're interested. It was a mixed load because I often do that, and I normally only use one sheet but I guess I accidentally grabbed two.......look how much dye came off in the wash...the catcher sheets trap the dye so it doesn't transfer to other items!! Plus, they did shrink a little 😅

So yes, wash them first if that's how they will be treated regularly, both for shrinking and for all of the icky stuff that may be on the fabric from manufacturing, shipping (consider how pest control happens in the supply chain) and maybe how many times they fell on the floor in the store 🫠

Got an event coming up? Start planning ahead babes!!

No problem at all, I'm sure I can help 😊 I am a one-woman army, so I ask usually about 2 weeks from fitting to finish for most items, to be fair to everyone!
For wedding dress and suit alterations, I will refer you to a specialist, it's an area of expertise I'm more comfortable referring out for, and my recommendations come from good reviews from people I know and trust!

For bridesmaid dress and prom alterations, I recommend coming in for your fitting 3 to 4 weeks in advance of your event. You will need the right shoes (or at least a very close height), as well as whatever undergarments/bra/shape wear that you plan to wear underneath, as these accessories will be important for the proper fit. I will pin and assess your alterations once I see the work necessary, to allow me the opportunity to examine the construction, layers, fullness etc and give you the cost at that time so there are no surprises when it's ready 😊

I had fun revamping this very much loved sweatshirt for my client and he'll get many more years of wear out of it now 😊
Of course it's never easy to find a good color match at the best of times, and alas, this one proved to be impossible.....so I chose a dark khaki green ribbing from my own stash, which actually really picked up the right tones of the green stitching and the grey-green undertone of the old sweater. I trimmed all the old flatlock seams off and serged it all back together to get rid of some of the holes in the seams. My client is very pleased, and one less piece of clothing went to a landfill 😊
