This gal had a vision for how this prom dress should look. She brought us two dresses actually, a blue one and a white one, and we used the white one to customize the look! Plus, an extra layer of white chiffon fabric was added to the back of the skirt. She planned to pin a decorative brooch onto the center of the wrap, with a blue and white cameo design. So unique!

Loving this dress on her! We just cinched in the side seams and waist to fit how a corset should, and pulled in the neckline which was a little gappy. Did you know? It’s the first day of spring today!

Found the perfect prom dress? Come in for a fitting appointment! When getting a dress hemmed, each layer is pinned around the bottom at floor length (or shorter), and excess fabric is folded under so you can see what it will look like before it's sewn. This creates the most beautiful hem. Send a message for more details!

Sometimes the best design ideas come from customers! The shoulders were too wide on this dress, and her idea was to add little pleats to the front and back shoulder areas, taking them in quite a bit. So we did this, and now it fits great. The pleats add something extra to the design.
The winter coat she brought in was very boxy, so we added a couple of seams in front. Now it’s got a little shape without being too tight.

This gal went to Kansas City over New Year’s for an event downtown, and I can imagine she got some compliments on her dress. All it needed was a hem, and though you can’t see it in the picture, we lined the inside of the straps with some thin ribbon to make it more comfortable on her shoulders. 🎊

It’s the time of year for a little sparkle! ✨ Come get your dress hemmed for holiday party perfection. With this one, we actually hemmed the top of it at the waist for the most flattering fit. 💖 As always, careful measuring and precise sewing make your dress the best it can be.

Have you been shopping this holiday season? Chances are good you’ve found something that could benefit from alterations. These cords look comfy, but they were made even better by taking in the waist and hemming them. And, you can’t tell anything’s been done until you try them on. (In this case, the waist “darts” are disguised by the belt loops.)
