Alteration Services

“Madison was absolutely amazing to work with! She did alterations for my wedding gown including hemming, adding a bustle, and adjusting the neckline. She was prompt, professional, and super sweet. I also asked her to make a sash with custom flowers made from the scraps of my dress and it turned out amazing. I hadn’t been too emotionally tied to my gown like a lot of brides are, but Madison’s attention to detail and skillful craft made me fall in love with it and feel confident and beautiful for my wedding. I would highly recommend Madison for any and all alterations!” - Ann B
