"Rachel is absolutely amazing!

- alexandra

We needed to take in the straps, change the cups and hem many inches off of my dress and I couldn't be more happy with the way it turned out! Can't recommend enough!"

"As a dancer, I had high expectations to make my dress easy to move around in. Rachel did not disappoint.

- jemima

Rachel not only did a fabulous job on my dress, but she was amazing to work with. I was able to move freely dancing and had no concerns about my bustle as I spun around. She also made pads for my breast area which held in place, plus, added a little something to the dress. I would highly recommend her to any bride!"

"I will recommend her to anyone looking for a seamstress in the future!!

- caroline

Rachel was amazing!! She took her time to make sure my dress fit me perfectly and made me feel and look great on my wedding day. She is knowledgeable and her years of experience shows."
