Added Notes:

  • Pressing Charges - done on work being altered, but not the complete dress.

  • Pressing & Steaming for your dress (with or without alteration) are available as a service to you.

  • Extra lace, fabric, buttons, etc. and/or notions will have additional charges added.

I will consider making you your gown.  I do not create adult patterns, so you will need to provide a pattern or patterns that provides me with your desired gown and matches your specific measurements, and all materials.  I will be happy to research what patterns are available and what I already have at an additional cost.  There is a consult fee of $50, if you would like to discuss dress options, pattern and fabric selection, etc.  

Make an appointment to come by and discuss your ideas and options.
