💍 A Little 2026 Wedding Season Update…

August has been WILD around here! Between fittings, sewing, pickups, and keeping up with very full racks, we’ve officially reached a milestone:
WE ARE FULL FOR 2026 WEDDING DRESSES! 🚨

Our wedding gown books are now closed for the 2026 season.

Thank you to every bride who trusted us with such an important part of her wedding day. ❤️ It means more than you know!

👗 Bridesmaid & Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses:
We still have a small number of openings available but we’ll be closing those books within the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Thank you for keeping us SO busy! 🥰
We truly appreciate every bride, bridesmaid, mother, referral, share, and recommendation that has brought customers through our door this year. ❤️✂️

With back to school right around the corner we are getting tons of phone calls and drop ins asking about altering ball uniforms, cheerleading uniforms and general clothing.

So… we’ve been a little MIA on social media. ✨

And no, we haven’t disappeared. We’ve just been WAY too busy making bridal gowns fit like they were made for you!👰‍♀️✂️😂

There’s been A LOT happening behind the scenes at Amy’s Alterations, and wedding season is officially in FULL SWING!

Our racks are packed.
Our sewing machines are working overtime.
Our appointment book is just about FULL.
And we are LOVING every minute of it! 🤍

We’ve been busy with beautiful wedding gowns, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, and all the little details that turn a beautiful dress into the perfect fit.

So if you’re thinking, “I’ll call and schedule soon…”
Consider this your friendly little warning: SOON IS NOW. 😉

Thank you for keeping us so wonderfully busy doing what we love. We truly appreciate every single one of you! 🥰

**Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans... and this is one of those moments.**

ATTENTION FALL BRIDES & BRIDESMAIDS!👰‍♀

If your wedding is coming up this fall you are NOT on my schedule yet, you need to contact me NOW.

I will be having elbow surgery to fix a torn tendon the last week of October and will be out of the shop recovering for several weeks.
October is the most popular month of the entire year for weddings and the next few weeks are my busiest time of the year. I will not be able to squeeze in last-minute alterations. (I put the surgery off as long as I could but it HAS to be done so trying to squeeze it in between wedding season and prom season).

💍November brides who are already scheduled:
Don't worry! I'll be reaching out personally to move your fitting and pickup dates earlier so your dress is finished before my surgery.

Every year in the past I always heard:
"I thought I had plenty of time."

This year, time is even shorter.

If your dress still needs alterations, don't put it off another day.
Message me and get on the calendar before it's too late.

One of several dresses we altered this week.
Fully beaded.
We hand hemmed to insure the integrity of the beadwork.
Why?
Because we don't believe in shortcuts.
We value quality work above all else.

👰‍♀️ "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
