Just finished altering 2 gorgeous dresses for a bridesmaid. She came last week for a consultation; she wanted the first dress shortened by 4 3/4 inches. She brought me long satin ties and asked me to stitch them into bows and then stitch them onto the straps. During our consultation, we noticed her straps were a bit too long, and it was making the dress loose at the armpits. She wanted the second dress to be shortened by 4 1/2 inches. She came for her follow-up appointment today, tried on the dresses, and both dresses fit better. The lengths of the dresses were a lot better after I shortened them; we didn’t want her to be stepping on the dresses at the weddings. We both forgot to get photos of her in the dresses because we were focused, but both dresses fit so well after the alterations! That tiered dress is my favorite ✨ I’m glad and grateful that she trusted me with her dresses! Getting your clothes altered, especially for a special event like a wedding, can make you feel a lot more confident in what you’re wearing, so you can just focus on having a good time!
