We All Have That One Piece (Or Ten)

You're just a regular person who wants your clothes to fit right. You don't need to be fancy or fashion-forward - you just want to feel confident and comfortable in what you wear.

Maybe you're:

  • Tired of pants that are always too long or too short.
  • Frustrated with dresses that gap in weird places.
  • Someone who found the perfect vintage piece that just needs a little help.
  • A bride-to-be who needs alterations that won’t stress you out.
  • Anyone who's ever looked in the mirror and thought “this would be perfect if only…”

You're not asking for miracles. You just want your clothes to fit properly! 

You know the feeling: You find something you absolutely love, but it doesn't quite fit right. The sleeves are too long, the waist hits in the wrong spot, or it's just a bit too loose or tight in all the wrong places.

So what happens? It sits in your closet, barely worn, while you keep wearing the same three outfits that actually fit.

Maybe you've tried other alteration places, but they took forever, charged more than expected, or made you feel like your request was too complicated.

The truth is: Good alterations shouldn't be hard to find.

"Catherine altered my wedding dress for my May 2023 wedding and it was a great experience. My alterations weren't super complex, just taking in the top a bit, hemming the bottom, and removing a short train. Catherine was so nice and easy to work with, communicated really well, and had very reasonable prices. She made alterations really low stress. And she was super sweet with my daughter as well. Highly recommended!"

                                                                                 - Noel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Catherine altered my vintage wedding dress for my wedding! She helped resolve some unique issues due to its handmade/vintage nature, in addition to typical fitting alterations.
