Excellent service with eye for detail

Theresa is a wonderful person to work with. She altered two bridal dresses for me. She is creative in finding solutions to make it a perfect fit and will not let the dress go until it is perfect. Because she designs dresses herself she is very good at alteration work and basically can put the dress together in any way you want. She was also available at any time I suggested meeting. It was lovely to work with her and I would highly recommend Theresa.

Theresa is the best!

I bought my gown at rituals of love bridal and they recommended me to Theresa for alternations. Theresa was so much fun to work with and we connected instantly. She has such great taste and I loved how my dress turned out - totally worth every dollar. We even have fun ideas of how to redesign the dress into a more wearable piece after the wedding - I can’t wait to work more with her in the future! Would recommend Theresa any day!

Made my dreams come true!

Theresa makes you feel at ease with her welcoming personality. She is focused on making her client’s full vision come true with all the patience and focus a professional can possess. Every time I stepped into her studio, it felt like visiting a good friend, and not strictly business. When she knows exactly what you want, your budget, and gets to know you as a person, she creates such amazing and beautiful work. I can’t recommend her enough.

Wonderful Experience

Theresa was like a fairy godmother. She helped take my sample sized wedding gown and make it my own. She had to significantly reduce the size and proportions of the top. I don't know how to sew, but working with lace looks like a very difficult thing to do! You have to be willing to put a lot of trust in someone to alter your (very expensive) wedding dress. Theresa is someone who makes you feel at ease, and comfortable knowing your dress is in good hands. She is also very good with communicating and easy to arrange fittings with.
