👰‍♀️ "Oh, I have plenty of time. My wedding isn't until October."

Meanwhile, our alteration racks: 😅😅😅

Just because your wedding is months away doesn't mean your alteration appointment should be!

What many brides don't realize is that wedding dress alterations often require more than one fitting, and our appointment calendar fills up long before the leaves start changing. 🍂

This photo is our rack right now... and we're not even in peak fall wedding season yet. This is technically our "slow season". 🙃

So if you're an October bride (or November!), consider this your friendly reminder that "plenty of time" has a funny way of turning into "Do you have ANY openings left?!" very quickly.

💍 Get on the schedule now.
✂️ Avoid the last-minute panic.
🧵 Let us make sure your dress fits perfectly for your big day.

Your future stressed-out self will thank you. 😉

💍 **Brides, let’s talk bustles… because YES, you probably need one!** 💍

Did you know your wedding dress does **not** come with a bustle already added?
That’s because a bustle is custom-designed just for YOU based on your height, your gown, and the look you want for your big day.

✨ So what exactly is a bustle?
A bustle is a series of hooks, buttons, or ribbons sewn into your gown to lift the train off the ground after the ceremony. It transforms your dress from “aisle-ready” to “dance-floor ready” in seconds.

👰‍♀️ Why does it matter?
Without a bustle, your train will drag, get stepped on, and honestly… become a hassle real quick. A proper bustle keeps you:
✔ Comfortable
✔ Moving freely
✔ Looking polished all night

💫 Style matters, too!
From a classic over-bustle to a soft, romantic under-bustle, there are different options depending on your dress and the vibe you’re going for.

✨ Good news — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Amy’s Alterations, we’ll help you choose the best bustle style for your gown and show your bridesmaid exactly how to bustle it (because let’s be real… it can look like a puzzle at first 😅).

Let’s make sure your dress is just as functional as it is beautiful 🤍✂️.

With a new month comes some important updates—and this one is a bit of a tough one to share.

Beginning immediately, we will be transitioning to **formal wear alterations only**.

I know this may be disappointing for many of our customers, and I truly am sorry. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s one I had to make for both my family and myself. Simply put—I can’t do it all.

As much as I would love to continue altering everything for everyone, it’s just not possible. Since reopening, I’ve been at the shop sewing six days a week, and that pace isn’t sustainable long-term. At this stage in life, working 50–60 hours a week just isn’t something I can continue to do.

In order to best serve our customers while also creating a healthier balance, the right step is to restructure and narrow our focus.

Moving forward, we will be offering alterations for **formal wear and wedding dresses only**.

We do hope to find a trusted, qualified seamstress to refer all other types of alterations to in the near future.

We truly appreciate each and every one of you and your continued support.

Please know this decision was not made lightly, and we’re so grateful for your understanding 💛

Much love,
Amy

✨ We’re celebrating 2 months back in business at Amy’s Alterations! ✂️🧵
What an INCREDIBLE two months it has been! We truly can’t thank everyone enough for the overwhelming love and support since reopening our doors. You all have kept us so busy doing what we love most ❤️

In just these first 2 months, we’ve altered:
👗 51 prom dresses
👰 10 wedding dresses
💐 9 bridesmaid dresses
👗 7 regular dresses
👖 43 pairs of pants hemmed
🪡 23 miscellaneous alteration items
That’s 143 items completed in just 2 months! 🤯

After 4.5 years away, coming back has felt like we never left… and
that’s all because of YOU.

Thank you for trusting us with your special moments, important events, and favorite pieces. We’re so grateful to be part of this community again and excited for all that’s still to come!

Here’s to 2 amazing months… and many more ahead! 🥂✨

Just a friendly reminder that our current turnaround time is MINIMUM of 4 weeks. This minimum applies to ALL items. We are unable to accomadate anything sooner. The turnaround time is unlikely to get any shorter for the next several months (especially with only one seamstress).

If you have an upcoming event or forsee needing alterations we strongly suggest to go ahead and book your fitting.

We appreciate your support and patience.

🌷 April Hours Update 🌷
As prom and wedding season gets busier and racks keep filling up, we’re making a small change to our business hours so we can spend more time where it matters most — behind the sewing machine ✂️🧵
To ensure every dress, gown, and alteration gets the time and attention it deserves, we’re adjusting our hours to allow for more sewing and completion time.

New April Hours:
Thursday 10–6
Friday 10–6
Saturday 12–3
Closed Sunday–Wednesday

This extra sewing time helps us keep turnaround times on track and maintain the quality you trust us for. 💕

Thank you for your continued support and for keeping us so busy. We truly appreciate every single one of you!

We held off as long as we could........but we are now officially FULL for the entire month of April. It's simply not humanly possible to get anymore prom dresses/ wedding dresses or regular clothing done in the month of April. Anything brought in after today will roll over into May.

We have been blown away by the overwhelming response to opening back up. You guys have made us feel blessed beyond measure.
❤️

*Also, if you left me a message in the last couple of days please be patient. I'm working my way thru them and returning them between customers.

*When I say "we" it's really just me, myself and I. 😬 There is no staff....only me.
