Mary is THE BEST! I’m so glad I reached out to her early. She altered my wedding dress beautifully and went along with my crazy (and ever-changing) ideas, including adding swag sleeves and a scarf to my look. I trusted her with my heirloom veil as well, which she steamed and had looking perfect for my wedding day. She made me feel so calm and welcomed at every appointment, and when I left I always had an extremely detailed email from her in my inbox. If she worked on more than bridal gowns, I’d hire her again and again!

Mary is the best!! My dress had crazy amounts of boning and corsetry in the bodice and she made it feel incredible (and comfortable). She brought everything in, shortened the bodice, and added a waist stay and cups for me. She is so so sweet and professional, I loved everything about my experience!

Mary is a true artist and understands her craft. Throughout our fitting sessions, she always listened and gave positive and helpful feedback on how to alter my dress for best fit as well as for how I wanted to feel and look on the day. I was able to walk, sit, eat, and dance my butt off all night comfortably. She fit this dress SO WELL. It hugged my curves and made me feel like a model. I never wanted to take it off. Truly a stunning outcome and I cannot recommend her enough.
