Introduction

Over 40 years in the industry of bridal and formal wear. I provide special attention to the details of every dress design, while altering it to your body to give you the look of your dreams. Did you purchase your gown online, out of your area, or simply don't want to pay store alteration prices? Are you at a loss of where to go for alterations, or asking questions like….. “Who can I trust with the most cherished piece of my wedding?” “How do I find someone who is reliable?” “Who is affordable?” The brides I work with find that my personalized service, years of experience, reasonable prices, and in-home comfortable setting answer their questions and ease their concerns. After the first fitting consultation my brides leave stress free, confident and have renewed energy to focus on other areas of their wedding planning. Please browse through my photos to see the variety of alterations, and bustles I have created to make each and every wedding dress unique. With over 35 years experience working with brides I look forward to working with you.

I had a great time working with Trish to alter my wedding dress. I bought it originally as a size 4 and she was able to take it in to a size 0, hem to the perfect length, add a bustle, and add embellishments to the straps using pieces we removed from my dress during the hem. I added a few photos of when I first bought the dress and then some from my wedding day. Trish's attention to detail was incredible and I am so thankful that she was able to help me have the dress of my dreams.

Patricia was outstanding! She got me in last minute to alter two dresses for my son’s wedding. I was holding out for a picture of my other dress but I’m still waiting on photos from the wedding. Patricia gave my dresses the perfect fit on a last minute request! I received so many compliments!! She does excellent work!!

Patricia is an excellent seamstress and completed my alternations within 2 days. She patiently helped me with missing sequins on a dress so it is perfect. She suggested adding bra inserts to ensure the bust line on my mother of the groom gown was perfect.

Patricia was so great to work with! She was communicative and transparent about pricing when we first met. She made sure I was 100% happy with my alterations and took her time to make adjustments as needed. A Bonus - she has a very cute, very well behaved pup at her house (:

I found Patricia through this app and asked her about working on some sweatshirts for my dog. He falls between sizes and it is hard to find things for him. I was a little nervous because it looked like she worked on bridal gowns and wasn’t sure if this would sound stupid. But to my pleasant surprise Patricia was open to it. She was very nice, communicative and very quick and we cannot say enough about the quality of the alterations. We are so happy! If/when we ever need anything altered again there is no question we would contact Patricia. We HIGHLY recommend!

Details: Costume • Tailor overall fit • Cotton • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
