I was left scrambling with only 16 days until my wedding. I had just purchased a new dress (after a disaster with my first) and was referred to Merike by the bridal boutique for the alterations. When I called to explain the situation and the tight timeline, I think she could hear the desperation in my voice and fit me in right away.
From the moment I arrived for my first fitting, I knew I was in the right hands. Merike was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional and friendly. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her skill is truly exceptional. Her talent is evident in everything she does.

Merike was super professional and did an incredible job with my wedding dress! She altered the length, fixed a few buttons and zipper, and suggested on adding a bustle, which I’m so grateful she did. The bustle was seamlessly hidden and the train tucked in nicely so that I didn’t have to worry about the train once the ceremony was over. My dress fit perfectly the day of! Merike did a fabulous job on my dress and also two of my mother’s dresses! It was easy to see how passionate she is about ensuring her clients are happy! I’d highly recommend her.
Merike did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress. She shortened the straps, changed out the breast pads, and added a bustle. It fit perfectly on my wedding day. She also shortened my after party dress. You won’t regret using Merike for any of your alteration needs, she’s very passionate about her work and makes you feel very comfortable.
