I’ve had several inquiries pertaining to my studio hours and policies lately,
so I wanted to post some of them here.

• Please feel free to bring up to two (2) friends or relatives with you to your fitting. I am unable to safely accommodate more than that.

• All guests must remain in fitting area at all times.

• Please, no small children- I have pins, scissors, and other tools that could prove dangerous when small children are present. I understand that there are certain situations that may make this impossible- please text or call and let me know if you need to bring your child. I will work with you to make it safer.

• I do ask for a 50% deposit at the time of your first fitting.

• Please bring the shoes and any shapewear or undergarments you plan to wear the day of your event. I can not and will not pin your gown without these- I want you to have the best results possible, and that starts with understanding that these items can and will impact the fit of your dress.

• Studio practice is limited to primarily bridal/ formalwear, and custom garment design and sewing. If you have something needing altered other than that, please feel free to ask, but understand that the same policies and rates will apply, if I’m able to accommodate you.

• Be on time for your appointment. I allow an hour for most fittings and your timely arrival will allow us the time needed to address every small detail!

• Please call or text if you are running late. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you may need to reschedule as studio availability permits. (A rescheduling fee may also apply at my discretion)

• Last but not least! PLEASE DO NOT just show up at my door without an appointment. It may be outside of studio hours, I may be with my family if I have no scheduled fittings, or I may be with a client who deserves the same uninterrupted attention you will enjoy at your fitting. I will NOT interrupt a scheduled fitting to answer the door or my phone. When you schedule a fitting with me, you will always have my undivided attention.

• Thank you to all of you who have supported my business-I have loved getting to know you and help bringing your dream dress to fruition. I look forward to many more years doing what I love!

Tell me I don’t work with the most awesome brides…

The show is the wedding. And the wedding is the show when Drew Anderson and Tiffini Lance exchange vows Saturday.

This gorgeous bridesmaid asked me to post this amazing dress in hopes someone out there could use it. She wore it once, to the wedding, and doesn’t want to pack it to take home to Louisiana. It’s been altered down to a size 14, but I personally did the alterations and know it can easily be taken back up to its original size 18. It would be an awesome prom dress! She’s asking 200.00 OBO. Please reach out to me if you’d like to contact her! ( she will ship it if you aren’t local, but postage is extra)

Once upon a time, a beautiful Celtic faerie needed a new dress. So she found a merchant with the most mystical green linen and the finest silver lace , and a powerful sewing sorceress, and the dress of her dreams was swiftly created.
And the beautiful faerie celebrated her birthday as she was always meant to.
The end.

I love it when my brides text me to thank me for making them feel beautiful, but honestly, they are already more beautiful than they realize. I just make the dress fit beautifully!
This incredible woman is dear to my heart for so many reasons. Please help me wish her all the happiness she deserves!
