FOR FAST RESPONSE, TEXT ME COMPLETION DATE AND WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO YOUR GOWN.

Thank you for your interest in my services I'd like to explain how the alteration process works. Typically, it takes 2 -4 months from your first fitting to complete your wedding gown. During your initial consultation, I will schedule your second and final fitting/pickup. For minor alterations, only a first and final visit is required. The average cost ranges from $500-$800, which covers your consultation and all fittings, I will also steam and press the gown on the day of pickup. In some cases, the price may be under $500. If your wedding is within 6 weeks, there will be an extra $80 charge for rush. For those who plan ahead and have a storage solution for their gown, we can start the process whenever you're ready I can also re-steam your gown a few days before the wedding. Check my calendar for available dates and times; I sometimes have openings not listed, including Saturdays, so feel free to inquire. You can book fittings up to a year in advance, which typically last between 30 minutes to 1 hour and I set aside 2 hours for personal time. If you have any questions, please visit my contact page to reach out. I look forward to working with you!

Check out this beautiful gown from Vow'd in North Hills, Raleigh, NC My client had a stunning vision to the train, and I was thrilled to help bring it to life With the gown featuring horsehair wire on the hem of the outer layer, the process was both creative and. Watch the video to see the transformation!

This video is of 3 different bustle styles. I make these videos for you to reference before bustling your train after the ceremony and pictures are complete.  

Now this was fun! My beautiful client wanted to wear her mothers 1980's wedding gown to her rehearsal dinner.  She asked me to bring it back to life, you know, give it a heartbeat. I enjoyed this transformation so much. I was able to be creative without going overboard and hardly any stress.  You can see how excited she is about the outcome, just as much I am.  These "custom orders" are not always this easy.  Sometimes it can take me several months to achieve perfection (especially budget friendly). All i can say is, I love it, it was fun and very exciting.

"Kelly  altered my wedding gown, and she was great!
She sized up everything that needed to be altered in only one fitting. When I picked up my gown it was perfect. She is awesome and very talented."
