    I purchased my dress 3 sizes too big and contemplated buying another one (I looked like I was swimming in a curtain) before deciding to try to make things work.

Kim is very experienced and had photos of brides from the last years plastered across the shop walls. She was firm in what was possible and what wasn't and I was able to get the dress to fitting like a glove after two fittings, while maintaining the design's original integrity.

    You can trust Kim! Over the years she has altered formal wear to perfection and even made a 2 piece out of a dress that had a hole. She also removed the sleeves from my mom's 80s wedding dress for me to wear- her work is exquisite and the dress looks amazing.

    10/10 recommend! Kim's done a couple of my dresses and then recently did my wedding dress. I trust her completely and will always be a customer! My dress had to be taken in a few inches, adjustment of the straps and a bustle added. Amazing work and she did it all within about 5 weeks!!!
