Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

We now present 3 gowns worn for a wedding yesterday, to all of you!

First up, is the Mother-of-the-Bride's gown, who wore the Milian style dress by AZAZIE, in the color champagne๐Ÿฅ‚

For this tulle layered, V-neck gown with beautiful gold vine sequin detailing throughout, Fairy Godmother Alterations did the typical alterations of adjusting the shoulder seams with flutter sleeves, and slightly hemming the sleek sheath skirt โœจ๏ธ

She looked dazzling in her gown that gives an elegant appearance.

Next up is the Maid-of-Honor's gown, who wore the stunning and popular chic one-shoulder textured chiffon gown with trendy cutout, by Celebrate DB Studio from David's Bridal, in the color Cinnamon.

For this dress, Fairy Godmother not only hemmed the A-line skirt with slit, she left the back of the skirt flow into a sweep train, giving it that perfect Maid-of-Honor touch, creating an elegant and flattering silhouette.
For added comfort, Fairy Godmother also adjusted the cutout shoulder seam via widening the armcyce, or arm hole, so that it wouldn't cut into her arm, making the bodice a perfect fit on her.

This Bridesmaid now looked stunning and was ready to make her appearance in a flowy gown that drapes beautifully on her, and was sure to turn heads.

Now for the gown that needed the most work done to it: the Bride's gown!!
This Bridal Princess fell in love with this particular past-season gown in Ivory by Stella York. She was lucky to find one, but was too big and unfortunately the original long detachable blouson sleeves were missing.

So first, Fairy Godmother needed to resize this dress; she took in the sheer, lace-layered, organza bodice with strapless neckline at both the side seams, and along the button-covered zipper seam at the back, all the way down through to the fitted crepe skirt. This not only meant removing much of the matt floral lace and most of the buttons, she also had to adjust the boning.
While the bodice was carefully taken apart, the curve of the left and right princess seams on the front of the bodice were also reshaped/adjusted. A lot of work!
The bride also requested that the deep illusion plunging notch portion of the neckline be filled in, so Fairy Godmother added layers of matching ivory organza fabric there, before piecing the bodice back together, and reimbroidering all the handcrafted lace details back on with 3-D accents.

Once the reconstruction of the resized bodice was complete, Fairy Godmother adjusted the contour of the sleek and fitted mermaid skirt, then hemmed the front edge of it,
sewed the row of fabric buttons down to the hemline back on,
and added a bustle for the long sweeping train at the back.

This bride also wished that she had the missing sheer lacey sleeves to this dress, so she ordered something similar, and requested that the Fairy Godmother add them to the gown.

This was more than simply attaching sleeves onto the bodice- Fairy Godmother first adjusted the shape and the volume of these blouson sleeves to make sure they didn't look like baggy extra fabric falling off of she shoulders, then adjusted the cuffs so that the wouldn't be too wide on this princess's wrists and fall off. This way, the sleeves would now flatter her arms and elegant hands.

To attach the sleeves onto the neckline, Fairy Godmother carefully had to open the vertical seams along the sleeves so that they could be attached to the neckline without them looking like an afterthought.

Now, the sleeves blended beautifully to the bodice.

Yesterday, this Bridal Princess stunned her impeccably-tailored, modern boho wedding dress that is the epitome of the modern boho bride, complete with handcrafted details and now custom sleeves that make for an etheral and romantic bohemian touch. From her slender waist, a sleek and contoured sheath skirt in luxurious soft crepe completes the stunning look all the way down the train

Until next time, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

For today's wedding taking place at the Mt. Carmel Church in Strasburg, we share outfits of both the Bride and Groom! โ›ช๏ธ

Starting with the Groom's 3-piece tone-on-tone slim fit suit by Brave Man's Signature series, in their Burgundy color option๐Ÿท, Fairy Godmother Alterations hemmed the unfinished flat front pants,
and then shortened the sleeves just a bit to the wide notch lapel, 2-button, double vent jacket.

He will now look sharp in this suit with the perfect color for an early fall wedding. ๐Ÿ‚

His Bride chose to wear the stunningly elegant and romantic Saphir style gown by Madioni, that is crafted from delicate Ivory chantilly lace with shimmering sequins throughout, that catch the light in the most graceful way. โœจ๏ธ

For this gown with beaded off-shoulder neckline that adds a touch of old Hollywood charm, and long fitted regal sleeves finished with buttons, Fairy Godmother started with taking the bodice in at the back along the row of covered buttons.

She also hemmed the dreamy, horsehair-edged, A-line skirt that flows into a court-length train, so that every step down the aisle will now feel like a glide.
A 3-point flat-fold style bustle was added to the back of the beaded waistline with matching buttons, to compliment the clean and refined lines of this gown.

Today, this bridal princess will look both effortlessly timeless and modern in her gown that also perfectly frames her collarbones and shoulders, making her entrance simply unforgettable.

Until next wedding gown, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

Another guest's floral embroidered tulle party dress with illusion corset bodice and sweetheart neckline, for another upcoming Quincenera, that we present to you! ๐Ÿ‘ธ

For a different Quincenera celebration taking place at The Yellow Barn this weekend, this guest brought her breathtaking N**e color Andrea & Leo Couture fitted dress to Fairy Godmother Alterations to hem.

Fairy Godmother was able to hem layers to the softly draped mermaid skirt with dimensional floral embroidery and shimmmering sequins on tulle that's layered over mesh, and all comes to a back slit.

๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿช…
Now for this upcoming birthday party, this guest will stun this gown where romantic artistry meets couture craftsmanship that create the illusion of a hand-painted garden in full bloom,
accompanied with a strapless sweetheart neckline that flows into a sheer lace-up back bodice with exposed boning that sculpts and defines her figure,
all while intricate blooming florals cascade across the softly draped skirt for dimension and sparkle, making this enchanting design blend timeless elegance with whimsical charmโ€”perfect for making an unforgettable entrance.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

Today's dress-of-the-day is for a musician to wear for an upcomming Quincenera celebration. ๐Ÿ‘ธ

This violist from the Azalea Trio brought her light green floral embroidered tulle dress to Fairy Godmother Alterations to hem the gracefully flowing and etheral A-line skirt, and to remove the long train. ๐Ÿ’š
Fairy Godmother actually shortened the length of the gathered skirt along the skirt-break, rather than just trimming the material off along the bottom edge, to keep the balanced look.
The structured and figure-accentuating sheer bodice, with sweetheart neckline and delicate ribbon shoulder ties that add a whimsical and elegant touch, was also taken in.

๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿช…
Now this perfectly fitting floral embroidery dress with a dreamy blend of elegance and romance, will be ready for the upcoming party with a refined and charming look, perfect for this enchanting occasion.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

This next outfit is for a guest to wear for an upcoming wedding.

This is another Anrabess branded dress from Amazon with smocked empire waistband with ruching in the front, where Fairy Godmother Alterations also shortened the layers of the A-line skirt from ankle-length to Tea-length.

Now this wedding guest will feel cooler in her mid-calf length, V-neck mesh dress in Deep Green, with velvet floral pattern throughout. ๐Ÿƒ ๐ŸŒฟ

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!

For today's wedding, we present this customized David's Bridal wedding gown to you!

This particular gown with train is a vintage Michaelangelo dress that is Something Old, but still timeless and available to get a newer version today without the train, brand New!

All Fairy Godmother Alterations did to customize this ballgown was to convert the original zip-up back into a lace-up back on the beaded and sequined satin corset bodice with strapless cuffed neckline, and beaded basque waistline.
When Fairy Godmother made the panel, she made it out White dutchess satin material that came off of a skirt from another old and repurposed David's Bridal gown, ensuring that the material not only matched, but was identical. ๐Ÿค

The sequined tulle skirt with train already had a bustle added, likely done by David's Bridal's alterations department, so we didn't need to worry about that.

Today, this bride will channel her inner princess wearing this jaw-dropping and breathtaking, delightfully detailed, ballgown- this happily ever after will have never looked so elegant. ๐Ÿ‘ธ

Until next time, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!
